Answer
Having tears down the face is one of the early warning signs of illness (see below).  The best cure for the stains is to stop the excess tearing by improving the health with diet and decreasing toxins. If you take the 6 week teleclass you will learn all about that.

From the comfort of your home, take the incredible 6 week Teleclass/Webinar on the 7 Keys to Healthy Pets. You just call in each week (midday on Tues or Evening on Thurs). I will answer all your questions, even those you never thought to ask. It begins January 27, 2009 and for more information, to register and get your free gift - go to http://www.simpledogtrainingsecrets.com/7keys.html
If you register for the class and have more questions, I will give you 15 mins free consult with me by phone.

To clean up the tear stains, hydrogen peroxide works very well.
There are several products on the market to prevent the tear staining and most say they were created to help other health issues and a by product was removing the stains. That is because the product improved the overall health of the animal.

Feed a raw meaty bone diet (or something better than processed) and stop vaccinating except for Rabies - may be enough to improve health.

EARLY WARNING SIGNS OF ILLNESS FOR DOGS AND CATS

Most health problems are the result of an underlying energy imbalance, made worse from poor diet and vaccination.  They are rarely acute diseases (except injuries). Therefore, you may find that the problem does not clear up as you expect or it recurs. If so, you are dealing with an underlying predisposition to illness, and these clues to underlying ill health will help you select a remedy and monitor the results.  As we cure animals of "disease", we find
that certain other "NORMAL" things go away, too.  Do not be satisfied until most of the following symptoms are gone.  In young, apparently healthy animals, these apparently "normal" problems may be the only indications to start treatment. This is only the beginning of a list - as more animals are cured we will find new levels of health.

SIGNS OF UNDERLYING ENERGY IMBALANCE OFTEN DEEMED NORMAL IN DOGS AND/OR CATS
