I learned from Lisa, the groomer at Pet Villas, that the vet there recommends using cultured Buttermilk powder which I found on Amazon. I give our Maltese/Yorkie about 1/4 tsp in her meals and it has helped a lot. I think it balances the PH which makes the tearing less likely to oxidize and turn brown. Maybe it kills the bacteria, but she still tears a bit. At any rate it is a better, more natural solution and works for me and Tikki.
