Hi Jen,
First of all, welcome to I-dog. Glad to have you here!
I have a shih tzu (see her under my name), Daisy, who has/had bad tearstains before. When I changed her food and got her on some good probiotics and yeast/fungal tinictures, her tearstains cleared up very well. What food is he/she eating? It definitely makes a difference.
Now Daisy has to have surgery to clear her tear-ducts. That is the reason that she is tearing so badly, her tears are blocked, and the tears can't go anywhere except down the face.
Honestly, I have tried everything in the store for tear-stains and let me tell you nothing works. You have to work from the inside out.
