Husky Eye Tears and How To Remove Them

Many common dog food ingredients can cause staining in some dogs. What are you feeding? Your water can be the problem, too.


Wipe them with a moist warm cloth. Has your new puppy been to the vet? Some breeds tend to do this, but I like to cover all my bases and get my dogs checked out. Any new breed you get should soon get a checkup at the vet.


You should also be checking your huskies eyes daily for problems and one of the first places you will see a problem will more than likely be an unusually excessive amount of tearing. You should check the conjunctiva (the white part of the eye) daily. It should never be pink or yellow in appearance. The tearing should just be normal clear fluid you should never see green or yellow gunk. Now that clear tear fluid can change if not kept cleaned away into brownish colored goobers that can turn hard in the hair. This is more normal but it should be cleaned away daily and not let to get to this stage. Also the eyes should be clear and bright and not cloudy or foggy looking.


Some issues that are abnormal such as Intropia (a curling of the eyelid into the eye causing the eyelashes to irritate the eye) will cause excessive tearing. This issue can be very serious. It can be corrected surgically. It can be a genetic issue in some breeds. I have heard of it in the standard huskies but its more rare. Another thing to look for is Cherry eye (a redness of the membrane at the corner of the eye). This is also a genetic issue and will need to be looked at by a vet. If you see anything out of the ordinary please consult your vet ASAP.


I have found that buy feeding a dog plain live cultured yogurt this helps to reduce the amount of tearing. We believe it has something to do with the Acidophilus in the yogurt. Yogurt is also a great way to help keep the yeast down that grows in the ears and makes ear infections. It also does wonders for a dog with a dry coat. So you can see how valuable yogurt is in a dogs diet. I personally give about 1/2 table spoon of yogurt mixed in the food for Toy huskies and 1 table spoon of yogurt mixed in the food for Standard huskies.


Angel Eyes is the first product specifically designed for both dogs and cats to eliminate unsightly tear stains from the inside out. Angel Eyes also helps eliminate staining around their mouth and their coats due to licking.
