TEAR STAINS

If your bulldog develops tear stains, mix equal parts hydrogen peroxide and white milk of magnesia with enough corn starch to make a paste. Apply this mixture to the stained areas twice a day. After the stains begin to recede (5-7 days to see results) apply the mixture once a day until your bully's face is showroom new again. Make sure that you do not get into your dog's eyes or you will have more problems that just tear stains!
