This is medication intended to clear up ear infections. The instructions state not to clean ears while using this product or the enzymatic action will not work. Ask your veterinarian to recommend the mildest canine ear cleaner to use for a dog that does not have ear problems. There are also good ear cleaning solutions here on Amazon as well as online stores like 1800petmeds.

There are better products for cleaning ears. We use "Tropiclean Ear Cleaner".

I would not recommend it as it is very oily. I use Virbac Epi-Otic Advanced.

No, I wouldn't think so. The sponge ear pieces are removable and washable,but not the rest of it.

I would doubt it. It's just a good household cleaner. You should see your vet.

Has anyone used this for ear mites in dog's? A dark brown to black build up in ears. Thank you!

Yes, It works to clean the ears out amazingly well! My dog didn't have ear mites to my knowledge, but a friend said it worked on their dogs ears who did have ear mites! My dog still doesn't have any problems with her ears. And she would shake her hea profusely all thru out the day and even worse thru the night. Now she sleeps thru-out the night, and so do I! After the first few days of using it daily, I now only have to use them once a week and sometimes I forget to do it weekly and she is fine!

I do use it on his face. Obviously being very careful around his eyes and nose and I wipe it off with a wet rag instead of pouring water on his face. I own a bulldog and his folds on his face need constant washing. I have even put a little dab of soap on a wet rag and washed inside his ears with it. He is always shaking his head, I assume because his ears itch.

It says no ears or eyes, but I do use it in my ears. Try not to get it to close and rub your eyes.

Thanks for asking, Angele. You put a few drops in your dog's ear -- just enough so that you can see it. Then you massage the area under the ear gently for a minute or so. (Most dogs really like this part.) Then you dampen a cotton ball or some gauze with a couple drops more, sort of wrap it around the tip of your finger, and swab out the area your finger reaches. If your dog's ears are REALLY dirty, you might need to do that again. For many (probably most) dogs, great results will be immediate. For others, doing this for 2-3 days will do the trick. After that, just clean your dog's ears regularly, the same way you do with baths and such, and you and your pal will both be delighted.

This is an anti bacterial/anti fungal that clears up any other ear issues, I find. So far it has worked great for both of my dachshunds that have floppy ears and are prone to ear troubles.

My dog has been on it since fall, his ears are cleaner and his skin isn't scaly. He is a westie which are known for skin issues.

warm soapy water works pretty good for me, I don't know that I would use alcohol on them, might shorten the life of them!edit: as stated by another person, not much soap is needed. Also, I clean my ears with q-tips daily also, but my ears produce massive amounts of wax for some reason, and I also work long days and keep my earbuds in for 6-12hrs a day. I haven't noticed any degradation in quality of noise cancellation, and have washed my tips at least a couple times already... I'm sure at some point that would be an issue, but I just wash them gently then roll them in a towel lightly squishing them as I roll them so as to help dry them out as quickly as possible... anyways, enjoy! warm soapy water works pretty good for me, I don't know that I would use alcohol on them, might shorten the life of them!edit: as stated by another person, not much soap is needed.

If you have kids you know can that alcohol be very effective at drying liquid in the ears, like with swimmer's ear. So alcohol will help to dry out the oozy stuff inside. If you're worried about your dog's ear lining getting dry, just follow the instructions and wipe excess off with a paper towel. As far as the other ingredients, should all be helpful. For example, Tea tree oil is antiseptic and prevents infection. Boric acid is a powder and not like other acids. It's often used by groomers to treat dog and cat eye stain, and in humans to fight infections in the ears. And Rosemary is also used for treating human ear problems like tinnitus. Hope this helps!

The reason that it hurts is due to the inflammation I notice that eco ears contains alcohol that will burn if the infection is raw. But it works, my basset hound had bad infection and that stuff took care of it.

For cats I would be inclined to use a very inexpensive product specifically designed for them such as: http://www.petworldshop.com/mark-amp-chappell/auror-cat-ear-cleaner.php Thank you for your concern for our fuzzy companions.

Mine works great! I just trim ears with it. They are small. So it might be too much.

No. You squeeze the bottle into the ear. Then you massage the bottom of the ear. The dog will then shake their head and then you will get a warm SOFT cloth and clean out the ear. The next day there will be more black stuff in the ear that comes up from the ear canal. You will need to clean that out too with a warm soft cloth. It is very simple and it works very well. After trying so many ear cleansers on the market this one actually gets the job done.

I used to use Otomax. I have a Bassett hound/Beagle and her ears were always getting infected. I have not had to take her in to the vet for an ear infection in almost 18 months. This stuff is great. I use one drop a day in each ear. It says on the bottle not to use any cleaning stuff. I told the vet I use it and he didn't mind. The stuff is great!
