great gentle facial tool for dogs that do not like having faces washed may be lightening tear stains too will update review [SEP] this is an interesting way to market a konjac sponge ie for your pets i have to say though it is pretty brilliant i have only worked on my white chihuahua blends tear stains once with the all about health network charcoal konjac sponge but it did seem like it lightened his tear stains a bit they are pretty significant now since he does not like his face washed what was most important to me is that he actually seemed to like me cleaning his face with the sponge it is very soft once hydrated and the shape meant i could be careful not to get too near to his eyes i also have a white frenchie who absolutely hates having her face washed but needs to have the folds of her face cleaned regularly i am going to order a second one because this has made that process much easier as well the only reason i gave it stars instead of is that i do not yet know if it can remove tear stains but given how hard they are to get rid of i somehow doubt it i will update the review if it works well over time thoughplease note i most likely purchased this at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review in order to save time i do as much of my shopping online as is humanly possible i rely heavily on other customers reviews when making purchasing decisions so as such i take the honest and unbiased bit very seriously while i enjoy testing products i do not hesitate to write a critical review or rate items low when warranted and all opinions and words are my own if you find the review helpful it would be great if you would click the yes button below thanks
