What food are you feeding them ? Chis eyes do water but sometimes changing to a better food helps

Because chis are so near the ground they can get dust and dirt in their eyes which can cause tearing. And some just tear a lot. Billy always has wet eyes. Its kinda normal.

Tearing yeah can be normal as long as the eyes are not goopy, green yellow ***** looking I would say it's normal tearing.

My min pin is the same and he's a bit taller than most chi's.
If it's clear I wouldn't worry about it. You could just wipe them with a gentle unfragranced eye wipe if you don't like the appearance if you wanted to.

Tearing can be brought on by stress too. As long as it isn't green or yellow it should be ok, food really helps with this though. Once I put my chi's on Wellness Small Breed Adult, they stopped tearing as much.
