At least for me it is! How many of you have dogs whose eyes "run" ... and because of that the areas under their eyes are stained? You see this a lot with white dogs... poodles...schnauzers...
My friend, who has taken every canine nutrition course in the world and is a distributor for Nature's Variety ... (I purchase my food and treats from her) told me to purchase some powdered buttermilk (in the baking aisle of most grocery stores) and sprinkle a little on the dog's food each night. She said it also helps with pink stains on the legs of dogs who lick their legs & feet. She said that it neutralizes the bacteria that causes the staining. It's not an instant fix - the hair needs some time to grow out... but she swears it works!
Lil'Bit has always had "runny eyes", so I'm going to try it!
Also, am sharing with you the chart of dog/human years she gave me which is a little different from what I've always heard. I've always been told that 1 human year is equal to 7 dog years. Turns out that is not very accurate, since dogs reach adulthood within the first couple of years.
So here's your bit of trivia to start your morning off with !
