Epi-Otic Ear Cleaner for Dogs and Cats 125 ml

Product Information

You may want to look at nail clippers with a light, guards, or sensors to help guide you when using them. There are rarely serious side effects to using dog ear cleansers that are past their expiration date; they will just be less effective, potentially leading to your pup getting to the vet later than they need to when dealing with a significant infection.

EpiOtic is a soothing, pH neutral and antibacterial ear cleanser which can be used routinely in dogs and cats to maintain healthy ears. There are many eco-friendly options to replace plastic cotton buds such as bamboo sticks or even just paper sticks.

If you’re a pet owner concerned about staying organic or exposing your dog to potential irritants, this ear cleaner is for you.

It is definitely a worthwhile supplement when used in conjunction with other heavy-duty cleaning products—ones that may not need to be used outside of emergencies. Still, it’s important to make sure that you are using an effective cleanser and are not significantly compromising your dog’s ear health for ease of application. It can be used in pups of any age but in very small young pups it may be hard to apply safely, such as on Chihuahuas of only a few weeks old. Note that fluoroquinolones are a second-line treatment for chronic otitis externa cases, not acute infections. The liquid formula also includes a dose of hydrocortisone, which is a crucial agent for cracking down on general ear inflammation, as well as allergic reactions, itching, and discomfort.
