Petpost Tear Stain Remover Comb for Dogs - Extra Fine Stainless Steel Eye Comb with 65 Rounded Pins - Gentle Grooming Tool for Maltese, Shih Tzu & Small Breeds

Tear stains start somewhere — and that somewhere is the fresh discharge and mucus that builds up in the inner corner of your dog's eye every single day. If you don't remove that buildup before it dries and oxidizes, it stains the fur permanently. That's where the Petpost Tear Stain Comb earns its place in your dog's daily grooming kit. With 65 fine-tooth, rounded-tip stainless steel pins, this comb gently lifts the crust, mucus, and dried discharge away from the eye area without irritating the delicate skin underneath. It's the missing tool in most tear stain routines, and once you use it for a week, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it. Why dog owners love it 65 fine-tooth stainless steel pins: Each pin is finished with a rounded tip designed to glide through fur without scratching or pulling, even right next to the sensitive eye area. Removes the source of new staining: By lifting the fresh discharge before it dries onto the fur, daily combing prevents new tear stains from forming in the first place. Pairs with topical removers: The comb removes the dry crust that wipes and solutions can't reach easily. Used together with the Petpost Tear Stain Wipes and Solution, you address every layer of the problem. Made for small to medium breeds: Sized and weighted for Maltese, Shih Tzu, Bichon Frise, Poodles, Pomeranians, Chihuahuas, and other tear-stain-prone breeds. Durable stainless steel construction: Built to last for years of daily use. No plastic that cracks, no cheap finishes that rust. Comfortable grip: Easy to hold and maneuver, even when you're working on a small dog who doesn't love sitting still. What makes Petpost different Most pet combs aren't designed for the specific job of tear stain prevention. They're either too coarse (and pull at the delicate fur around the eyes), too soft (and don't actually lift the crust), or too cheaply made to last more than a few months. vs. standard pet combs: Finer teeth specifically for the texture of dried eye discharge. vs. flea combs: Rounded pin tips that won't scratch sensitive eye-area skin. vs. plastic-tooth combs: Stainless steel that lasts for years and doesn't bend or break. How to use Hold your dog's head steady (a treat in your other hand helps a lot with small breeds). Starting at the inner corner of the eye, gently comb downward and outward through the fur immediately below and around the eye. Work in small short strokes, lifting the crust away rather than dragging it across the fur. Use daily for best results. The whole process takes under a minute per eye once you get the rhythm. Pair with the Petpost Tear Stain Wipes (or Solution) immediately after combing for the cleanest possible result. Important: what the comb can and can't do The comb removes the fresh crust and dried discharge that contribute to ongoing staining. It prevents NEW stains from forming. But if your dog already has existing rust-colored fur from old stains, that fur is permanently dyed and will need to grow out before it's fully gone — that takes 2 to 4 months of consistent care. The comb plus topical treatments together is the fastest path to a fully clean face. Frequently asked questions Does the comb actually pull out fur? When used gently, no. The rounded pin tips glide through fur rather than pulling it. If you're rough or if the fur is severely matted, you might pull a few hairs. Always work gently and never force the comb through tangles. What if my dog won't sit still? Most dogs need a few sessions to get used to combing near their eyes. Start with very short sessions (30 seconds), reward heavily with treats, and build up gradually. After a week, most dogs accept it as routine. How often should I clean the comb? Wipe it down with a damp cloth after each use to remove buildup. Once a week, soak it in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. The stainless steel won't rust. Can I use it on cats? Yes, though the comb is sized primarily for small-to-medium dogs. Cats with tear staining can benefit too. Is this enough on its own? The comb is a critical piece of the tear stain routine, but it works best combined with topical removers (our Wipes or Solution) and ideally an internal supplement (our Tear Stain Soft Chews) for stubborn cases.
