How to Keep Your Pet’s Eyes Bright and Stain-Free with Pinkpawpal

My Early Mistake as a New Pet Owner

When I first became a cat owner, I did what many new owners do, I used wet wipes to clean my pet’s face. It seemed like the easiest solution, but I soon realized the yellow tear stains stayed, and the skin around the eyes became red and irritated.

Why Tear Stains Are More Than Just “Tears”

Tear stains aren’t simply water. They are a mix of protein, moisture, and natural discharge, making them a perfect breeding ground for yeast and bacteria. These microorganisms feed on the tear stains, causing darker discoloration and even infection.

Why Water and Regular Tissue Don’t Work

Water or ordinary tissue is not made for pet eyes. They can’t dissolve the protein and pigment that cause the stains. At Pinkpawpal, we know this well, we care for over 100 cats, including Persians, which are known for heavy tear staining. Even our flat-faced Shih Tzus stay stain-free because we use Pinkpawpal Eye & Facial Cleanser.

The Pinkpawpal Difference

Our Eye & Facial Cleanser contains natural chamomile extract, a gentle yet effective antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredient. It cleans away stains, soothes irritated skin, and helps prevent eye infections. It’s safe for daily use—even if it gets into your pet’s eyes or if they lick the area.

How to Use It for the Best Results

Clean after breakfast especially after wet food. Steam from food can enter the eyes, and pets flush it out through tears, which can leave fresh yellow stains.

1. Use cotton pads or tissue.
2. Gently wipe from the inner corner of the eye outward.
3. Focus on the stain area, letting the cleanser dissolve the discharge.
4. Dry it with facial tissue
5. Apply facial powder

Applying powder after cleaning the eyes makes it easier to clean the face the next day, as new tear stains will adhere to the powder instead. It also contains ingredients that help inhibit bacterial growth and whiten the fur faster.

Daily cleaning not only removes stains but also:

• Keeps the skin around the eyes free from redness
• Prevents odor
• Makes the eyes look brighter and healthie

More Than Just Eye Care

You can use our cleanser as a dry bath for the entire face and body:

• Eyes
• Mouth area
• Ears
• Under the chin
• Legs and paws
• Bottom area

It delivers three main benefits:

1. Removes stains
2. Eliminates odor
3. Helps heal and prevent infections

Why Safety Matters

Some human-grade products contain antibiotics or antifungal chemicals like ketoconazole. If licked, these can raise your pet’s liver and kidney values, leading to serious health issues. Pinkpawpal products use natural tea tree oil (less than 0.5%) to help remove fungus and ear mites without harming liver or kidney function.

Why I Never Use Wet Wipes Anymore

Most commercial wet wipes contain preservatives to prevent mold. These can irritate the eyes and make them more prone to redness and infection. Since learning this, I’ve never used them again and I recommend the same to every pet owner.
