Tear stains in dogs are common for breeds such as Maltese and Bichon Frise and Persian cats.

Most veterinary eye specialists believe the actual cause of tear staining is excess tearing. When the face hair is wet from excess tearing it is the breeding ground for bacteria and yeast. Ptyrosporin or Red Yeast is one of the most common yeast infections, which causes a deep reddish-brown stain. Low grade bacterial infections in the tear ducts are also common and may cause excess tearing and staining.

If you own a dog with excessive tear stains, a trip to the vet may be necessary, as this may be an indication of blocked tear ducts.
Some dogs are born with tear ducts that need to be surgically opened.
