Trying Out WeLoveCoco Face Water for Tear Smell and Stains in Puppies

If you’ve ever brought home a puppy and noticed a strange smell around their eyes, you’re not alone.
Tear smell and tear stains are very common in young puppies, and while they’re not always serious, they can be frustrating to deal with—especially when you're trying to keep your pup clean and healthy.

Let me share our experience with WeLoveCoco Face Water, a gentle, natural product I used for my dog Louie.

Why Do Puppies Have Tear Smell and Stains?

Tear Smell:
This usually comes from bacteria or yeast growing around the moist eye area. Tears create a damp environment that bacteria love, and that causes a distinct odor.

Tear Stains:
They form when the proteins and minerals in tears oxidize on the fur.
Many people think medication is the answer—but it's not always the best option.

Why I Didn’t Choose Medication

While medications can reduce tearing quickly, they can also:

Cause side effects
Lead to long-term dependency
Not treat the root cause
Be limited based on breed or age

Louie’s tearing was due to allergies, and I didn’t want to rely on medication. That’s when we got WeLoveCoco Face Water as a gift—and I took time to research it before using it.

About WeLoveCoco Face Water

What I liked:

No harmful chemicals
Made from just six natural ingredients
Mild, pleasant scent
Safe for daily use

How to Use It Safely

Prepare cotton pads (Never spray directly on your dog’s face).
Spray the product evenly onto the pad.
Gently place the pad over tear-stained or smelly areas for about 1 minute, then wipe.
- Alternatively, just wipe directly if your puppy won’t stay still.

💡 Note: Never spray directly onto the dog’s eyes or skin—even if the formula is natural.

Bonus Use: For More Than Just the Face

This product is incredibly versatile. I’ve also used it to gently clean:

Smelly areas
Paws
Genitals
The bum area

Because of its natural formula, it’s gentle enough for everyday hygiene.

Louie’s Story

Louie recently returned home from a short hospitalization. He was exhausted, and during recovery, he had a few hygiene issues.
Even after using regular wipes, applying WeLoveCoco Face Water pulled out more dirt and residue—without any irritation.

The results?

No lingering smell
A light, clean scent
Calm skin afterward

After switching to a better diet, Louie’s tear smell decreased, but some tear stains remained. With this face water, I’ve noticed a slow but steady fading of the stains.

If you're looking for a safe, natural, and effective way to manage tear smell and stains in your puppy—without relying on medication—I highly recommend giving WeLoveCoco Face Water a try.
