Wonder Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Does your hound have food stains on the side of their mouth? How do you get it off? I've scrubbed at it with a wash cloth but it's still there. Diamond has it on his mouth but Passion doesn't and she's whiter Quote Kari and the pups.Run free sweet Hana 9/21/08-9/12/10.

Neighsayer Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 My white faced dog always has food stains on his face. My others just wipe their faces on the couch. I only wash his face if we are going out to greet the public... A M&G or a trip to work. I use a baby wipe for the first few swipes, and a warm, very wet washcloth for the rest of it. I rub in circles, and don't try to do it all at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TINMANPDX Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 My pretty Lea, is black on one side of her face and white on the other - she always has some sort of "schmutziness" on the white side. I've read it has to do with their saliva and yeast. I've tried a solution of 2 parts water, 1 part peroxide and enough baking soda to form a paste rubbed gently on the area then rinsed off - it works somewhat, but the schmutz comes back a few hours later. I have read that this stuff called angel eyes helps, but it has to be ingested and I don't know what is in it. The most effective solution I have found is to gently wipe the side of her mouth with a warm washcloth, then use a flea comb to remove the debris, then wipe again with the washcloth. Even this doesn't last more than a day, though. I hope someone posts the permanent solution :-) Quote Theresa (Tess) Mom to Elliott (Sol Flasher) and Lea (PTL Lea) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryJane Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I just wash it with warm water and use very gentle side motions with the wash cloth to get it off. Once it gets wet enough you can also use your finger to scrape it off pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3vagreys Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I wash Echo's face with a warm, fairly damp washcloth with a little gentle castile soap on it. I rub in little circles and then use a non soapy part of the washcloth to rinse it. It does a halfway decent job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2dogs4cats Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Angel eyes has a very low form of antibiotic. Some people don't like it because of that. I have a maltese mix and they always have tear stain issues. I haven't used angel eyes or the like. I have found that if I wipe with contact lense cleaner it keeps the tear stains to a minimum. I think its the boric acid that prevents the staining. Some people dilute their own boric acid solution. Not sure if the mouth stains are the same but maybe you could try it. It took several months for the old stains to grow out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAJ2010 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Regular dish soap works great once a week then I use peroxide on a paper towel every day. Rainy only gets marks in the summer when she does a lot of panting. Quote ------ Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
