If you've just started using Brightworks powder, focus on a consistent routine rather than a promised results date.
When Might I See a Change?
Visible change may vary from dog to dog. The Sweet Potato 50g product instructions do not give a guaranteed date for visible results. They specify daily use for the first three months, followed by maintenance use. This is a dosing schedule, not a promise that staining will improve by three months or sooner.
Daily Use for the First 3 Months
Follow the correct daily dose for your dog's weight, as listed on the Sweet Potato 50g product page:
- Up to 5 kg: ¼ of a 5 ml teaspoon (1.25 g per day)
- Up to 10 kg: ½ of a 5 ml teaspoon (2.5 g per day)
- Up to 15 kg: ¾ of a 5 ml teaspoon (3.75 g per day)
- Up to 25 kg: 1 × 5 ml teaspoon (5 g per day)
Sprinkle the correct dose onto wet food, or mix with a soft food such as meat paste/pâté or soft cheese and give as a treat. The product instructions emphasise giving the correct weight-based dose every day.
Pair dosing with feeding time to make the routine easier to remember. Take before photos so you can compare your dog's appearance over time.
Maintenance After 3 Months
The product instructions state that after three months, dosing can be reduced to 2–3 times weekly to maintain results. This changes how often you give the powder; it does not provide a separate smaller dose.
If staining persists or returns, seek veterinary advice rather than assuming that increasing supplement use is the answer.
When to Seek Veterinary Advice
Ask your vet about persistent, worsening or suddenly changed tear staining. Seek veterinary advice promptly if you notice eye redness, swelling, unusual discharge or signs of discomfort. Do not wait for the three-month routine to finish if you are concerned about your dog's eyes or health.
If your dog has an existing health condition or takes medication, check with your vet before adding a supplement.
