With white-coated breeds such as Bichons Frises, many at some point in their life will develop those very distracting, red-brownish tear stains underneath their eyes, around their muzzles, and in between their toes.
The cause can be related to health issues, shape of the eye, blocked tear-ducts, puppy teething, ear infection, allergies (either food or environmental), and so on. Therefore if your normally white-faced dog develops aggressive staining seemingly out of the blue, first consult your veterinarian, and possibly a veterinary ophthalmologist, to rule out any underlying health concern.
First things first - Examine the quality of your food!
It is generally agreed among Bichon Frise breeders that although there are numerous and passionate opinions about brands (and further passion about kibble versus raw), a high-quality, grain-free diet works best for our breed. The corn, wheat, and meals that are used as fillers in inferior-quality foods just don’t ensure long-term good health and can cause allergic reactions, resulting in excess tearing and other problems.
Secondly - examine the quality of their water!
After traveling a couple of times with my own dogs without their normal water and pouring for them from my own bottled water, I’ve noticed that they will develop staining pretty quickly in response to excess minerals. Use purified, distilled, or reverse-osmosis water sources.

We dealt with tear stains with our Boston Terrier for a couple of years and tried everything we could find with no luck. A trainer we took him to recommended we put a handful (we put 7-10) fresh blueberries in each of his feedings as she'd seen that work for a lot of pet owners. This worked like a champ. Been almost a year now and his face looks nice and clean, no rusty stains down his cheeks any longer. Try it, hope it helps you too!
