Hi there, Nessa and Sophie! We're back and subscribed. Unfortunately, we lost track of your Channel, but we're happy to have found you again. We were searching for a dog-related question on Google and saw your page. Thank you for all the valuable information you provide to new dog parents like us. We've cared for our Little Aggie since July and have learned a lot. We saw that you cut her tear stains yourself, which is impressive! Sophie also looks adorable. Best regards, The Red Cardinal Kitchen team - Sonja, Christopher, and Little Aggie.
I bought a usb rechargeable clipper with a light that does the tear stain area off so much faster. Very quiet, at Amazon or Temu. Slicker brushes are just too harsh anywhere. I like the stainless steel comb in your grooming video. I Groom daily, in different parts of his body. He has a tiny comb/brush combo and I comb the under eye area twice a day. Then I use an ointment under to try to keep the staining lighter. I use an itty bitty pair of thinning shears to clean his snout. He is very easy to groom, maybe that is why I put forth all this effort between 6 week grooms! Cavapoo are the most loving, cuddle bugs if that is what you want. Mine follows me everywhere, sleeps on top of a pillow right next to me. I put lounging Jammie’s on him to watch tv, at night. But too warm to sleep in. Good prices on Temu! I enjoy your vids of Sophie and hope you make more. Clearly, I love taking care of my sweet baby boy and he loves the attention. I am always looking for new ideas. Do you clean her ears and how? I could use some tips on inside those tiny ears! Thank you soooo much! My boy is “Happy” by name. And he improves my mood and helps me tolerate aches and pains of my 72 years…and disability. Broken right shoulder. I get shots and otc meds and voltaren to make life easier. We have two other small dogs, too, and hubby … handicapped too, helps a lot with everything. Happy needs most grooming, and I enjoy doing that. ❤️❤️❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🙏🏻🎄
Nessa, please consider acquiring blunt tip scissors for this task. Your pointy tip scissors as seen in the video are, IMHO, an invitation for trouble. I know you hold her face when you cut near Sophie's eyes, but even still. :-)
That is really good idea, Nessa. My German Shepherd dog is also have tear stains. Sometimes they are dry or wet. So I did is I took tissue paper , dip a little water and clean her. She did not give me any trouble of cleaning her tear stains.
Besides the filtered water and clean bowls what else have you found that prevents tear stains? Cutting them out and wiping her face is a great way to remove them once they are there, but I would imagine there must be more to preventing them in the first place. If filtered water helps I would assume that mean there's a diet or bacterial intake issue. Have you found anything else that reduces or stops it in the first place?
Hi Nessa! I’m picking up my Cavapoo on Tuesday! Very interested in this video. Glad to know tear stains are common, so thank you for these tips for handling. My breeder also suggested filtered water. Curious, have you learned why the Cavapoo’s have a tendency towards tearing? TropiClean has a blueberry Spa face wash for tear stains. Will likely be buying it and washing just her face regularly. Let me know if you’ve tried this strategy. Thank you for reminding us that all new things take patience!
Congratulations, you must be so excited! 😊 You'll have to send me lots of updates! As for the face wash, I've never used one, I just usually use warm water if needed but I have heard of them. I think they develop these tear stains due to excessive tear production and I've noticed with Sophie some days she has more tears than others so I guess it just depends.
My goodness! How long did it take her to get comfortable with you getting that close to her eyes? My 20 week old cavapoo always gets mouthy and/or tries to get away. I can do the rest of her grooming, just not her face!
Honestly, it takes a little while for them to get used to certain things. I remember it took Sophie a few months to get fully comfortable with me combing her paws (she was ok with me touching them but did not want me brushing them!). I used to train her by grooming her paws in small intervals and rewarding her with high value treats when she stayed still and didn't try to nibble on the brush. It takes a little while for them to get used to it but you got to be consistent and patient, you'll get there eventually! Good luck!
Very informative video. I would never attempt to trim around my dog's eyes with sharp pointy scissors though. I'm afraid she will become startled and I would hurt her. Are there safer scissors you would recommend to those who are too nervous or too new to attempt this?

Cute dog. I would put a patch or cover over the eye . The point on scissors can get in the eye if a loud noise happens. Get to be extra safe.
She’s such a good girl for staying and let you do that . Well done 👍
She's a total pro when I bring out the scissors, she's gotten very used it.
THANKS
Your furbaby is too cute! So well-mannered too.
Thank you for your lovely comment! 😊

That's so good to hear and it's great that your dog was patient and had no troubles with you cleaning her tear stains.
Hi Nessa, Are you in Snapchat?
Thank you
Aw bless her.

I ❤u r videos as usual and mote than that i ❤❤❤❤❤ Sophie she is always so chilled and chilling on sofa whenever your making videos 🤩🥰
Thank you! She does love to nap while I film, she's probably going to start associating my camera with naps soon. 😊
Hi thanks for the video x how do you clean her ears please 😘

My friends dog is the same way. No one can put anything near her face.
Very informative video. I would never attempt to trim around my dog's eyes with sharp pointy scissors though. I'm afraid she will become startled and I would hurt her.
Are there safer scissors you would recommend to those who are too nervous or too new to attempt this?
Don't you think you should aim the scissors the opposite way instead of right toward her eye?
She is such a cutie pie 🥰 😍😘
Thank you! 😊
She looks so much like my Cavachon.
