Buddy has a tear stain problem also, so I went through quite the process. I've tried a number of different brands of tear stain wipes, make-up remover wipes, and clean water.
None of them worked as well as this eye wash product from Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00C2A6FN2
I soak up a cotton makeup remover pad and thoroughly clean the area, and then dry it with folded-up toilet paper.
It has boric acid which according to this site is supposed to help. And, it's a human product too so you can share :)
Angel Eyes is supposed to be good as well but I didn't want to use that because it contains antibiotics. I'm looking for something that I can use long-term, and I don't think long-term use of antibiotics is a good idea.
Good luck!
yes, mine was also a super chewer when she was younger. Antlers are good and she LOVED this PetSafe chew w/ the rawhide rings. we went through a couple as she would got at it several times a day. My eskie is now 20 months and does not chew that much anymore ..
It's the only harness so far I've owned so far that my Samoyed hasn't slipped through out of 5 different brands of harnesses. The Eskie has twice but we did buy the wrong size. We just ordered a new one in an XS, we originally got her a small but it fits her and it doesn't at the same time if that makes sense. It has to be fully tightened. If you want to always try on one to see if they fit they do sell them at Petco and they should let you try it on your dog. Amazon also has a dupe. It's quite similar just the front and back padding is a little thinner from what I've heard. It's only $21 as well compared to the Wild One at $48.

My standard loves KONG Barnyard Cruncheez, like this one. They’ve always been his favorite. They’re made out of a round plastic bottle with rattle things inside, so it rattles and crunches.
I would recommend you get some, even if they are rubber booties. This will at least protect them from the salt. My girls feet don't get cold, but they hurt her when they get wet, salty, and the temperature is under 20 degrees. So I just have the little rubber booties from amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001J22876?psc=1&ref=ppx\_yo2\_dt\_b\_product\_details
These are the ones I got my girl. She really doesn't mind them as she realizes they are protecting her paws.
My 16 week old puppy is like this too. She hated her crate and I had a small “play pen” that I used for putting her in while eating dinner or for calm time away from other pets while visiting my mom. I tried that instead of her crate and she goes to sleep without any cries at all. She still doesn’t do well if I’m not in sight, but she settles down quickly in there while eating dinner and at night. This is it. Only other thing I can do to get her to calm down at night and stop running laps and trying to play bite me is giving her a good chew bone. She also really likes getting treats and food out of a rolled up towel like this. Although sometimes she only fishes out all of the treats and leaves her kibble lol. I’m working on making a diy snuffle mat too. I’ve seen that nose work really tires out dogs and can help them get enough stimulation to settle down. The final thing is just getting them lots of toys. She gets tired of a toy pretty quickly so having a big variety to switch out has really helped. Also if your puppy doesn’t like squeaky toys (mine doesn’t bc it scares her) krinkle toys are also great and kind of give them the feeling that they’re tearing something up without being destructive.
We love the embark harness ( we got ours on Amazon). The double clips make getting it on and off easy. They run big so we use the size small for our 18lb pup. harness
and I just found out that my spouse got me this t-shirt for christmas. I'll be wearing it to the vet today.

I used the furminator, worked great. For best results do a daily brushing and the shedding will be most manageable.
Also picked up a pack of lint rollers from costco. There was a reusable that didn't use adhesive called the lint wizard, that worked great for many years. They don't sell it anymore. Looked like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZKGVWVB/
It’s a type of brush that originally was designed for human wet hair. I tried it once on her and she loved it. Later, I discovered that they made a pet version too which I got for her although it is the same brush as mine just with cute bones on it.
Here’s an Amazon link wet brush

Bought a bunch of the lint wizards from amazon and they are going strong after two eskies. They are no longer on sale but OXO has a similar product. https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-Furlifter-Remover-Clothing/dp/B01DF316EC

Our Sam was very particular about his beds. He hated any bed that had a raised center and refused to use them. He loved beds that had side bolstering so that he could lean up against them and rest his head. We got him this one for his joints as he was getting older. It says for large dogs but he loved to stretch out so it was perfect for him. Dog Bed
