Pet Health (Providing Dogs With Enzymes and Cleaning Their Eyes)

Jump to Comments

If you have a white dog, you would have  noticed that cute little puppy had tear stains around its eyes and worried to find out what was going on. Maltese dogs have a tendency toward eye stains as do many other dog breeds. Although dog tear stain remover is available in the market but here are some basic tips to share that might help you.

Tip 1 - It helps your dog to keep their faces clean and dry. When  dealing with white dog tear stains you are going to washed puppy’s face every day. After cleaning make sure the area is thoroughly dry.

Tip 2 - Take a close look at the food your dog is eating along with the water that they drink. In some cases there are dyes in the food which can actually exacerbate the tear staining further. One solution is to actually prepare the food yourself using only natural ingredients and allow them only to drink bottled water.

While the 2 tips above may help - the next one is the one that has worked best for my dogs.

Tip 3 - This is the only method I use now because it is so easy and it works for all 5 of my dogs to keep their faces clean, dry and beautifully white. I use this special all natural powder and mix it in with my dog’s food or water. And within about 2 weeks the draining from the eyes stopped and after trimming away the stained hair as it grew out my Maltese were beautiful and no longer had eye stain problems. So this is now my favorite way to battle those eye stains - with 5 Maltese I needed a simple, one step, all natural fail-safe way that works.

Digestive Enzyme Supplements for Your Dog

Digestive Enzymes are produced by the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas and liver and are released into the digestive tract. Enzymes help your dog’s body to breakdown proteins, fats and carbohydrates in his food so they can be absorbed and utilized.

Production of your  dog enzymes naturally decreases with increasing age. Illnesses, stress, food intolerances, allergies and drugs like antibiotics also have a negative affect on enzyme production and function. This can result in a variety of digestive disturbances ranging from flatulence and gas to diarrhea, life threatening dehydration and malnutrition.

Digestive Enzymes are vital to maintain your dog’s overall health. They improve the efficiency of digestion so your pet’s body can utilize the nutrients essential for energy production and ultimately for life itself.

They help the body to recover from disease and promote restoration of good health in your dog. Enzymes are useful to reduce pain and swelling after exercise or trauma and help speed up recovery rates. Enzymes support your dog’s immune system thereby enhancing his ability to ward off disease and infection. They have been also been used effectively in cancer therapy for people and pets.

Papain is an enzyme that has aspirin-like effects to decrease swollen, painful inflamed tissues in your dog. Bromelain is an enzyme found in pineapple stems that inhibits the spread of lung cancer in mice.

Digestive Enzyme supplements may be beneficial in dogs with digestive problems, immune disorders including rheumatoid arthritis and arthritis, cancer and a variety of bowel disorders. They are especially useful in older dogs with reduced digestive ability.
