Are my dog's tear stains a problem, or should I change her food?

Question

Hi! Feeding my dog with a grain free balanced dog food (not those w/ almost no carbs), vet was tottaly ok w/ it. "Bela" is doin' alright. The only "problem" is that she still suffers from "Tear Stains" - not chronic though. Heard that Hills Science Diet (although has not the purpose to be more "natural" like those grain free) does a good job on this matter. Think it's worth it giving a try? Or tear stains are not all that bad if not chronic? Tks in adv. Pet's info: Dog | Toy Poodle | Female | spayed | 14 years and 10 months old | 11 lbs

Tear staining is only a cosmetic problem and not really a medical issue. I would not switch the diet is Bela is doing well on what she is currently eating. You are better off just wiping the eyes with medicated pads or feeding a supplement like Angel Eyes. ( https://angelseyesonline.com/ ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.
