Hi everyone, my 11 week old White Shepherd's eyes water when he eats. Its just clear tears but there is enough that they leave a 1/4-1/2 inch wet trail down his face. His eyes weep a little when he sleeps as well and I usually clean out a few small brown eye goobers in the morning. I clean the tears off whenever I see them and am trying to avoid tear stains/irritation the best I can. The vet said just keep an eye on it but didn't tell me exactly what it was. He is on Blue Buffalo Wilderness puppy and seems to be healthy otherwise. Does anyone else have this problem?

It could be a food allergy. The most common allergies in dogs are chicken and grains. If I were you, I'd try switching to a grain free, chicken free food and see if it helps. dogfoodadvisor.com lists the ingredients of hundreds of foods, so you could search that site and write down chicken and grain free puppy foods before going to the store.
