My dog's tear stains seem to be getting better
My Bichon has always had pretty noticeable tear stains. Those reddish brown marks under the eyes really stood out. I used to think it was something in his food, so I tried switching dog foods a few times and adjusted his daily cleaning routine, but nothing seemed to make much of a difference.

Later, I came across some discussions on pet forums about the possible connection between drinking water and tear stains. I realized I'd barely ever thought about that before. Some people mentioned paying attention to the mineral content in their dog's water, while others shared their experiences with using filtered water.

Since we've already been using a viomi RO water purifier at home, I decided to try giving my dog RO water, too, without making many other changes to his routine. After sticking with it for a while, I feel like his tear stains have faded a bit. They're definitely not as noticeable as they used to be.

Of course, I can't say for sure that switching the water was what made the difference. Tear stains can be related to eye structure, tear drainage, irritation, or other health issues, too. Still, the experience reminded me that, besides food and regular eye cleaning, drinking water might be another thing worth paying attention to.

What kind of water do you give your dogs, tap, bottled, or filtered? Has anyone else noticed any changes after switching their dog's water?

Okay, whoever recommended this… THANK YOU!! My Bichon Frise is officially in your debt 😂🐶

Plush toys have never stood a chance in my house. My Bichon Frise either shreds them in minutes or chews them into a soggy, slimy mess that nobody wants to pick up. Between his sharp teeth, nonstop energy, and pure stubbornness, I’d honestly given up on finding a tug toy that could last. 😅

But something about this grumpy little blue octopus made me give it one more shot, and wow, best decision ever! 🐙💙

It’s been a whole month of rough, daily tug-of-war, and it’s STILL in one piece. And here’s what really got me: the inside stays dry! No more gross, waterlogged sponge after every chew session. That alone made it worth it for me. 🙌

Here’s where I found it: https://americanapicks.com/products/octopus-toy

He’s obsessed with the crinkly legs and the squeaker, and it keeps that busy brain of his entertained way longer than anything else he owns. Bonus: the long legs make it super easy for the kids to grab on and join the tug-of-war fun. ❤️

This little octopus didn’t just survive my Bichon Frise. It made playtime cleaner, more exciting, and a lot more fun for the whole family. Who knew one grumpy blue octopus could keep one of the most energetic dogs on the planet this happy? 😂🐙
