How to treat my dog's persistent leaky eyes and tear stains?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 10 months and 10 days old | 16 lbs

I have a 10 month old rescue I've had for 8 months, Brownie. She's a mix, poodle, Carin terrier. I have her groomed every 2 months she does shed a little. She's always had leaky eyes. Under her eyes are constantly wet. I wipe them with a warm washcloth 4x a day at least. I've given her Benadryl and eye lubricant drops. Nothing helps. She's miserable. Help!

What a cutie! If you've not yet had a vet examine her eyes, please do so. She may have an eye condition that is contributing to the issue. If her eyes have gotten a clean bill of health from your vet, try this: Many people have had success with these treats. Thanks for asking PetCoach!
