My dog's white fur has yellow spray stains. How can I clean it?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sri Didymus is super cute! You can use hydrogen peroxide, dawn and baking soda. I am not sure if they will work. Worst case is you can clip the fur and it will grow back white. I know that isn't an instant answer but its a reasonable one! Good luck!

Hello, it may be associated with an aging change depending on how old your pup is. This could also happen with frequent licking and chewing as saliva has enzymes that stain fur. Other causes such as bacterial or yeast infections could also stain the fur. If Maxx is licking his paws frequently, he could have allergies with a secondary infection that may require medications to control. Have him seen by a veterinarian if he is licking, otherwise, you can continue to monitor him for any other changes with his coat. Hope this helps and best of luck.

They could be saliva staining from excessive licking. Monitor April and place an e-collar (cone) on her to prevent further licking if necessary. Ideally, if she is licking, the underlying cause shoudl be diagnosed and treated. It may also be localized skin infection, natural pigmentation or simply a dirty spot. Use a pet wipe or plain, unscented baby wipe to cleanse the area. Have April examined by your veterinarian to diagnose skin infection or to determine if it is natural pigmentation.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Juliette! There is pigment normally present in tear film and saliva. If she is having excessive tearing and is either using her paws to rub her eyes (like a grooming cat) or is licking her paws that can explain the discoloration. The most common reason for a sudden onset of excessive tearing and licking of the paws is allergies (allergies can start anytime). You are right that the tear staining can be normal in some breeds and there is nothing that can be done. I would get Juliette in to your Vet for an evaluation of her eyes and skin. Watch her closely to see if she is pawing her face or is licking her feet. If the staining is on her back feet then you have your answer, she is licking them. Your vet can prescribe medications for her eyes and something to stop the itch. There are not products that work consistently to remove the staining. You will have to stop the inciting cause then wait for the hair to grow out and get her groomed. I wish you the best!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is hard to see in those pictures. That really requires an examination. That could be due to a skin infection or possibly just a normal pigmentation change. I would recommend that if this continues, you have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment. Best of luck!

If Jazz is showing no symptoms by now, she will probably be fine. Symptoms to monitor for would be respiratory distress, red or inflamed skin, hair loss, itching, lethargy, excess salivation, excess thirst/urination or gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite). Seek veterinary attention if she develops any of these symptoms.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. This could be a skin infection (bacterial or fungal). I would recommend using a shampoo such as PS Douxo Chlorhexidine combination shampoo and bathe twice weekly until resolved. I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. The above shampoo can be found online. If the areas worsen or persist, I would recheck with the veterinarian for further testing and treatment options.
