If you have a white dog or cat, you have probably noticed that brown, red or black stains often develop under the eyes of your pet. This happens as a result of the tears not draining properly (especially in the short snouted and/or long haired breeds) or excessive tear production (from allergies or other reasons).

Long story short means the area under the eyes is almost permanently wet. If the stain is red, the cause is most probably porphyrins. These are iron containing waste molecules which are excreted in the tears. If the stain is brown or black, it is likely a bacterial or fungal infection.

So, how do we fight this?

This is our multipronged Tearstain Formula approach:
• Cranberry and bioflavonoids contain molecules that make it difficult for the bacteria to adhere to the skin and hair.
• Calcium carbonate increases the pH of the tears, which in turn decreases staining.
• Barberry acts as a natural antibiotic and anti-fungal to help reduce infection.
• Phytosterols and ascorbic acid modulate allergic reactions.
• Marshmallow lubricates the mucous membranes around the eyes and helps to decrease excess tear production.

I bet you most of our overseas customers have never even heard of Sutherlandia frutescens.

Sutherlandia frutescens, also known as "Cancer Bush", is a South African medicinal plant that we've carefully selected for our canine allergy supplements. Here's why this remarkable herb makes a difference for dogs struggling with allergies:

Proven Immunomodulatory Effects:
Research published in peer-reviewed journals demonstrates that Sutherlandia frutescens has genuine immune-regulating properties. Studies on human immune cells show that the plant's extracts can modulate cytokine production. These are the critical signaling molecules that control immune responses and inflammation.

Anti-inflammatory Properties:
Studies reveal that Sutherlandia extracts demonstrate significant anti-inflammatory activity, particularly through reducing inflammatory markers in immune cells.

Immune Balance:
Research shows the plant can help regulate immune system responses rather than simply suppressing or overstimulating them - crucial for managing allergic reactions.

Cellular Protection:
Scientific investigations demonstrate antioxidant properties that help protect cells from oxidative stress often associated with chronic allergic conditions

Active Compounds:
The plant contains several bioactive compounds including:
- L-canavanine (amino acid with immune effects)
- Pinitol (anti-inflammatory compound)
- GABA (calming neurotransmitter)
- Various polysaccharides that support immune function

Multiple peer-reviewed studies confirm that Sutherlandia extracts can influence immune cell behavior and inflammatory responses, making it a scientifically-supported choice for addressing allergic conditions. This is why we use Sutherlandia in Allergy Formula and Allergy Care chews.

Every now and again, I see something that makes me mad. And this is one of those days.

I know how much L-Theanine costs. I know the correct dosage for dogs and cats. I know the price of excipients (inactive ingredients), labour and marketing. Any yet I still feel that it is unethical to charge massive markups on a product.

That is my rant for the day.
