Many Morkies get their eyes irritated by hair that grew too long and is constantly irritating their eyes. As a result, your puppy can shed more tears and which leave stains when they dry.
Filter Their Water
Try changing your Morkie’s water from tap to filtered, it’s a trick some groomers say with worth a shot. Also try using a metal, glass or a ceramic bowl – Not a plastic one (The plastic wears down over time and leaves toxins your pup is drinking).

It all comes back to your Morkie dog’s diet. Many Morkie owners claim that changing their Morkie’s diet to a grain free diet have solved many problems, including skin conditions, health issues, including, tear stains. Morkie owners attest to adding a little vinegar to their Morkies water or adding a bit of greek yogurt or coconut oil will help with tear stain problem.
What To Do?
Try a more natural, grain free diet for your pup. We recommend ‘Orijen’ as the best food brand for your Morkie. Also, avoid feeding your Morkie unhealthy snacks such as bacon or cheese.

What to feed your Morkie to Prevent Tear Stains?
If you want to try something natural to help your Morkie dog with their tear stain problem. Try adding a tablespoon of natural apple cider vinegar to your pup’s diet. Try using a little bit of coconut oil around your Morkie’s eyes, And try mixing some coconut oil with your Morkie’s food as well. Also, a small sprinkle of buttermilk powder to you Morkie’s diet can help too.
What To Do?
Natural apple cider vinegar: Add a tablespoon to your Morkie’s water bowl.
Coconut Oil: Use a small amount raw coconut oil on the tear stains. You can warm up the coconut oil first to make it more liquid, but your body temperature will melt it while you are applying it, just make sure it’s at a safe temperature to apply. You can also regularly add coconut oil to your Morkie’s food as well.
Buttermilk Powder: a teaspoon sprinkle should be enough with each meal.

I have a beautiful white 2 year old miniature poodle. Everyone is always complimenting me, (him) on how clean and clear his eyes and the area around his eyes are, and the only thing I use are HUGGIES, BABY WIPES. I wipe my poodle and my morkie’s eyes every day and NO nasty pink eyes on my poodle and clean eyes on my Morkie. I don’t know why or how it works, I just know it works.
What type do you use?
Angel Eyes is a soft chew, not a product that you apply to the dog’s coat. Otherwise great info! Thank you.
It also comes in dropper form you can add to their water.
I use the angel eyes round eye wipes but still have some great stain.
Angel eyes also has as powder that is applied to the coat. Angel eyes never worked for my Morkie.
The only thing that finally worked was Eye Envy. It can be purchased on Amazon. It’s a but pricey but it works. It says it works in 2 weeks but I read another person’s review and she said to be patient it takes a little longer. So I kept going and at 1 month her stains were gone!
You can buy the liquid and the powder separate and some people only buy the liquid but I recommend using both. I bought a starter kit that came with the liquid, the powder, and 100 wipes. I purchased separately the Eye Envy Small Pro Powder Application Brush – it was pricey at $10 but it worked amazingly. Its a two step process which uses the liquid first with their eye applicator pad then using the brush to put the powder on which just stays on.
They say once the stains are gone you can reduce to using it something like once or twice a week, but I found tgat to keep the stains gone I had to do it every other day.
I have two morkie puppies, but one of them has horrible tear stains. we have tried all of these methods. is there anything else we can do. she is white so her stains have dyed her fur pink! please help😁
I like the Angel Eyes powder. You apply it to their food. Best to give wet food. You do not apply angel eyes to the coat of the dog. I am also trying the angel eyes wipes twice a day.
I used Angel eyes cleaner on my Bichon and it didnot work very well.
A few years ago, I switched my Morkie to a raw meet diet. He hasn’t had tear stains since then. He was on Orijen, a high quality grain-free diet before that and always had some tearing. He also keeps to a perfect weight now. It seems perfect for him!
I have a morkiepoo and he gets the tear stains I’m going to try the baby wipes thank you for the tip
We have 8 month old morkie and his eyes are a mess all the time. Nothing seems to work 😟
If nothing works, he may have allergies that cause his eyes to tear up. Our little Morkie has eye stains and tearing from allergies to some food and all pollen. Some pups never complain so it’s hard to tell. Our sweet girl gets relief from Cytopoint shots. She gets them monthly which can be tough, but so worth it. Apoquil helped but Cytopoint helps her more. I am not saying to get him shots for eye stains – please don’t do that. Only saying to get him checked for allergies at the vet.
I’m going to try the baby wipes. I was using Essential Pet Expert Approved Tear Stain Wipes.
I have a one yr old morkiepoo with tear stains. Some people say blocked tear ducts is the cause. Yes, diet, cleanliness + genetic makeup attribute. Want to try baby wipes & a better diet. Thanks or info.
I have a10 month old Morkie. She is white, so the tear stains look awful. I am trying the coconut oil now and hoping it will work. I believe it will take trial and error to finally find what works on my puppy, because I’m thinking every dog is unique. Thanks for all the tips.
