    Not really. The hair will fall out & grow back in white as long as your dog doesn't do anymore licking or chewing. You can adding a few drops of laundry bluing to a bottle of pet shampoo & let sit for several minutes at least.(only a few drops or blue dog!) You can't remove stains from dogs hair like clothing & have to consider the skin underneath the stain. Usually the area takes a while to recover & using products like peroxide or baking soda will irritate the it again.

    let me ask u this… if you scratched and scratched at a bug bite… and left a huge red mark… how would you "remove that stain"? you cant. its part of her skin. if anything the skin may die and grow new.. but theres nothing you can do to "remove" it … try shampoo thats soft on their skin.. moisturizing. she'll thank you.. but dont bathe her more than once a month.. unless she rolls in mud hahaha then please go right ahead

    the hair should grow and fall out and new hair will replace it, But no you cant dye a dog if thats what your asking

    Well first of all make sure she is on frontline or something to prevent flees and ticks so she doesn't have anymore chewing and itching. That is very misrible for a dog! They sell a shampoo, its called blue shampoo for white dogs. It might take a few baths but it will get the stain out. Don't try to put anything on the stains to lighten them because dogs can have very sensitive skin.

    I'm not clear what the stain IS – do you mean her fur has thinned out from the chewing so you can see her skin underneath, which is red?

    If so, first see if you can do anything to make the skin less red, calm down any inflammation etc – I use chamomile on animals because it's a mild antiseptic and anti-inflammatory, is totally non-toxic, and doesn't sting so they don't complain when you apply it even to sore skin.

    Easiest way to do this is to buy plain chamomile teabags, "make tea" with it i.e. put it in a cup with boiling water and leave it to infuse, let it cool right down and then apply that. Apply it as many times a day as you have the patience for, using a new cup of chamomile tea every two days (keep it in the fridge), and that might help repair the skin and make it less red.

    The hair might well grow back again to cover the skin properly, but this takes time. You can help by making sure she has a healthy diet, possibly adding things which are especially good for healthy hair – ask your vet for advice on this.

    If you mean that the hair itself is stained, then I'm a bit confused as to what the redness is. However, hair grows out and gets replaced with new hair, so eventually stained hair should grow out if the cause has now gone – give it time!
