Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Poodle | 6 years and 10 months old
My white maltipoo has brown streaks under his eyes and I can't get rid of them. I'm giving him a supplement that's supposed to from the inside. I'm nervous about using the drops that cannot touch his eyes and even the groomer can't get rid of them. Will dog eye drops in his eyes help. I've tried cutting off the dark hair but that's hard.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Mutton is a breed that we typically see the problem of tear staining. It is not harmful but cosmetically, it can be unsightly. There are supplements that have been known to reduce the brown stains. I would recommend a supplement such as Angel Eyes or Ocubright, which can reduce the brown staining that you are seeing after several months of being on the supplement. Either one of these can be found online or at your local pet store. I hope that this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
