Question
I just bought the wafers you mentioned on craigslist for my maltese. You were suggesting them for the bulldogs but I thought
I would try them on my maltese.  I have use Angel Eyes, Angel Glow, and a dozen other products but nothing works.  Had him checked with the vet and he said nothing is wrong with his eyes
so let it be but I hate the way he looks(dirty) with his whole face stained.  Any other suggestions would be appreciated. He
does eat grain free Blue dg food(no house food) and drinks bottled water only. I am desperate for a remendy that really works. Thanks Frances

Hi Frances,  So glad you purchased the NuVET plus for your Maltese! NuVET will help the tear stains over time.  It takes a few months to start seeing results ;  Your dog's tear stains may be excessive Yeast - I also refer to a good Probiotic , along with the NuVET Plus -
See here-  give 1 PEARLs Per day for 90 days :
this post has the info on PEARLS and shows a photo of the box: ( MUST be the BLUE Box)

I also like some eye cleaning pads - see this post for photo :

Have your groomer cut the Old stained hair out of your Dog's eyes -  ( on you next grooming visit )  It's best to keep the hair around the eyes very short:  I am sure you dog has some environmental allergies

Glad to help!

Keep me posted
