Does Your Dog Have Rust Stains Down Its Face Like This?

Have you seen other dogs with those peculiar rust-colored stains below their eyes and down their faces? Like me, you no doubt wondered what that was from and thought, “This can’t be good.”  It seems that our sense about these eye stains was correct. I did some investigation and found a some useful information about the causes of this eye staining in dogs, from Chiclet T. Dog, a dog who had this problem…

This pet photo shows what “Chiclet” looked like with this problem… Here is an excerpt from Chiclet’s book… A Dog’s Eye View / “Scared Poopless: The Straight Scoop on Dog Care” an excerpt by Chiclet T. Dog and Jan Rasmusen

“It was bad enough that I looked like a canine Vampira when this photo was taken. My blood and urine tests, and boyfriend Jiggy’s tests, revealed inner scenarios that were even more revolting. I was lacking in Vitamin D, folic acid, phosphorus and chromium. Jiggy and I shared deficiencies in B-6, lecithin, calcium, manganese, selenium, and bioflavinoids, plus we both had poor fat absorption and excess sodium.  Jiggy, who was on a top “medical” food for his immune-mediated hepatitis, showed additional deficiencies in Vitamins A, C, D, and E, digestive enzymes, zinc and copper.  Both our foods were labeled “complete and balanced.” I’m prompted to ask, as compared to what?”

Find out how Chiclet and Jiggy were forever cured of being vampires and what they have to say that explode pet food myths.
