I've often wondered why their beards go that colour you see it in Westies too. I think it looks quite sweet!

I wipe Maggie's developing beard with my husbands flannel when he's not looking. (sing)

I use baby wipes - great for when they've had fish in tomato sauce (sick) .

If they've had something messy, like sardines in tomato sauce, they get the wet flannel treatment.
Other than that, a daily dose of the slicker brush followed by a comb through seems to do the trick with my blacks.

Re: Share your secret!
I bath my dogs once a month but they still have stained beards. Every other bath they get a clip with it. I wash there beards 2-3 times each time and use a whitening shampoo, which helps a little bit. Bascically the staining in the beard is from their saliver but I think dog food and the dye thats in it is also a cause? So maybe barf dogs dont have such a problem?
My Westie does have the same problem but not as bad around his face as his hair is not so long, but his feet are brown because of licking, being a Westie he is prone to foot licking!
I have been told that a paste of bicarbonate of Soda removes some of the staining, leave it on for a few minutes then rinse and shampoo off. Bicarb is used for household stain removal in the home too. I have not tried as yet, but worth a try, mind it does not get in the mouth though.

Re: Share your secret!
I've tasted the food of my pup few times... and it seemed pretty tasty (not awful as I thought).
