If you find an answer let me know  . I try to keep Max's clean with hydrogen proxide and h20 spray, but it doesn't help too much. and when I give him bath and try to clean that area it also does not get it white (plus he does not like his face cleaned). Pisco's mom seems to keep hers clean, but not sure how!  |
You really think that thanks...but not so true...Pisco does get his chin very stained...but what has been helping is sea water... LOL  as we are finishing summer we`ve been on the beach weekly and after a good dip he seems to dry very nice and fluffy and yes with his chin a bit whiter...but I do put hydrogen proxide on it once a week....he doesn`t really like it... |
| A lot of it just depends on the dog... if your dog drools a lot, then the chin will get discolored. If the dog has a naturally dry mouth, then discoloration will probably be milder.
Drying the chin often may help... keeping the hair short there might make it less noticable. Beard whiteners are available, hydrogen peroxide, as Vero suggests, will work too. I'm sure that many people around here have different opinions on it! Please be sure to let us know what, if anything, helps! |

How well do they work? |
| Not bad. Just have to take care to rub the beard and not the chin itself. |
| Pisco, do you use straight Hydrogen Peroxide? I have mine mixed with water and it does not help. Any input, his chin is so dirty and smelly. He goes to the groomer next week but that only happens every 3 months or so....... |
| Huggs does pretty good with not drooling, I guess i got a dry mouthed OES... happy me! I didnt even know they drooled to tell the truth! I have never noticed it a lot on his mouth.... Wiping after he drinks and gets wet helps. But, alas, he is a determined dog. When he goes out to play in the back yard he finds mini ponds about tummy deep and goes stick diving!! LOL we can tell since his back and stuff is dry but his tummy and face up to his eyes are wet!!!

| If a dog has allergies, histamines and other proteins build up in their saliva. When they drool and the sun hits the drool it stains white fur. All dogs will have some proteins in their saliva so ...
If you change the dogs water as often as possible it helps. Especially if they don't have many allergies and are not eating an overly high protein diet ...which some have to eat--don't mess with the diet if it is working. Better dilute the hydrogen peroxide. Its an oxidizer. It kills allliving cells even at diluted strengths and will remove blood from fabric --to a point. They use it to make dogs throw-up, because it is so toxic almost all living animals will throw it up within 15 minutes or they are in trouble. Dilute it half/half. Half lemon juice/water applied with a toothbrush. Then let the dog out in the sun for 15 minutes or more will also work. Even better is a teaspoon of alum or creamof tartar to a half/half cup of lemon juice and water. Apply with tooth brush. allow sun or bright light to hit it for 5 minutes ...voila white sheepie hair. Alum is a alumium sulfate so distract sheepie with a game and rinse and comb it out thoroughly. It isn't something they should ingest. So do not use it regularly. It is an oxidizer too and will actually make the hair brittle with to much use. I just use lemon juice and water. You could also try cornstarch or a cornstarch and baking soda mix. Put it in the hair on the chin, even if it is wet. Don't let the dog drink and try to let it dry or stay on there for 15 minutes, then comb it out. Works on stuffed animals too. Always helps to pre-clean with a wet towel and a dry one. And sometimes once isn't enough. If anyone finds a more permanent solution, let us know, please! I shave Abbi's face and she still has a little bit around her lips. |
| ProEye tear stain remover is good for the protein stains. Follow directions as would for under eye tear stains. you can find in most pet stores or can be ordered at http://www.petedge.com (formerly The New England Serum Company). |
