<\/a><\/p>\nFortunately, there are ways to help keep your schnauzer\u2019s face white and here they are below:<\/p>\n
Changing their diet<\/h2>\n
Certain diets can trigger beard stains for schnauzers, like grains and cereals. Ask your vet as to how much grain and cereal should be included in your pet\u2019s diet to prevent stains from occurring.<\/p>\n
If you tend to give your schnauzers commercial dog food, you may need to consider their content because a majority of commercial dog food come with artificial coloring. When it comes into contact with your schnauzer\u2019s fur, the artificial food color may die the fur completely.<\/p>\n
Try giving them alternative treats without artificial coloring.<\/p>\n
Let your pet drink drinking water<\/h2>\n
Water comes with various minerals and the higher the minerals are, the more it can stain your schnauzer\u2019s beard. Unfortunately, it may be difficult to determine which type of water your schnauzer has a bad reaction to so you may need to test it. However, if you want to save your schnauzer\u2019s fur and reduce your headache, it is ideal you feed them bottled drinking water due to its low mineral content.<\/p>\n
Use stainless steel pet bowls<\/h2>\n
While you feed your pet some water and their food, it is ideal that you use a stainless steel or ceramic food and water bowl to prevent further fur staining.<\/p>\n
Plastic bowls would often absorb the color and scent of the food and water you would like to feed to your pet. When your schnauzer uses these types of bowls, the color the plastic bowl absorbed would be transferred to their fur and cause staining.<\/p>\n
Give them probiotics<\/h2>\n
As you change your pet\u2019s diet, you should also support it with probiotics to keep their coats shiny and healthy. Ask your vet for their advice with regards to the probiotics you should give to your schnauzer before you give them some supplements.<\/p>\n
Clean their fur with milk of magnesia<\/h2>\n
You can also use milk of magnesia to help you keep their faces white.<\/p>\n
Simply combine milk of magnesia with an equal amount of hydrogen peroxide and starch. Once it is a paste, you can apply the paste directly on the stained part and let it sit overnight. The following day, wash the affected part with warm water.<\/p>\n
Make sure you take care when applying the paste to your pet\u2019s face because it should not reach their eyes. The component of the paste can irritate your pet\u2019s eyes and cause further tearing.<\/p>\n
Repeat the procedure every other day until your pet\u2019s face is back to its pristine color.<\/p>\n
Use baby wipes<\/h2>\n
Baby wipes are actually another great way to clean your pet\u2019s face and ensure it doesn\u2019t get stained after every meal. Some schnauzers also tend to tear up a lot, so you need to wipe it gently before it stains their face.<\/p>\n
Make sure you use unscented wipes and keep using it daily to reduce the stains from growing further.<\/p>\n
Use dog whitening shampoo<\/h2>\n
You can also use whitening shampoo to keep your schnauzer\u2019s hair white.<\/p>\n
Follow the instructions prescribed in the shampoo since some shampoos would need to be diluted before you use it. When you apply the shampoo to your pet, squeeze it gently to your pet\u2019s fur and rinse thoroughly with warm water.<\/p>\n
You should also use a detachable shower head when washing your pet\u2019s face since it will help you direct the water directly on the beard.<\/p>\n
