Vet's Best Dog Ear Relief Wash, No-Alcohol, Wax Control, No-Sting, 16 oz | Alcohol-Free Ear Cleanser, Helps Remove Wax & Debris, Controls Odors & Itching, Gentle Daily Ear Care for Dogs

This is the best ear wash I've ever used (and I've used a lot....). I have a 10 year old lab who used to be prone to ear infections (like a lot of labs are - those floppy ears don't get a lot of air flow), we fought them from the time he was a pup. I discovered this stuff at my workplace (I work at a doggie daycare/boarding facility) - it's the stuff my boss had bought for us to use in our groom room (we don't do full grooming, but we have the necessities just in case). I was first amazed at how good this stuff smelled - and then I used it on a few nasty eared labs and basset hounds and I couldn't believe how well it worked! I had to get myself some for my lab and my Rottie mix.I began by cleaning out my lab's ears a couple times a week (about what we normally did to keep them from getting too infected), and then I only needed to do so once a week, and now I only clean them when they get baths (once a month) unless I notice him scratching or digging at his ears (which is extremely rare). This has been the only thing to keep his ears clean (and that's including prescribed cleaners from the vet). I even sold my aunt on it for her Chessies who are prone to dirty ears as well and she's seen a difference, too. She bought it after they had changed their label - but it's the same stuff.If you have a dog that gets ear infections or dirty ears easily, buy this stuff - you won't be disappointed. Use it weekly at first and then you'll probably be able to wean it down to bi-monthly or even monthly use. I don't know what it is, but when it cleans them it helps prevent future build-up - and I love it (no more stinky, gunky ears) and my lab loves it, too (no digging, irritation, or itching)! We've since bought others cleaners to use at work, but I always go for this stuff first.And a bottle this size lasts - I bought my first bottle in October 2009 and still have at least a quarter of a bottle left - and that's using it on 2 dogs at least once a month.

This product really worked well for my dog. A couple of months ago, I noticed my dog was shaking his head, and scratching his ear until it got bloody. I tried a vinegar peroxide flush on his ear, and a whole bunch of wax washed out, and his ear was wet and raw and very smelly. I went on every two or three days with this type of flush, but his ear did not get any better. I then did some reading and saw this product, and decided to give it a try. I purchased this product, the combination dry ear lotion, and a dog ear powder. I noticed improvement after the first treatment. However, I still have to put the cone collar on the dog to prevent him from over scratching his ear to this day. After several months, I only have to use the three product treatment about once or at most twice a week. His ears are now flushed with a dilute warm water vinegar using a plastic bulb tip applicator several times, followed by the wash cleaner, dry lotion, and powder. I'm happy to report both his ears have a nice, healthy color, do not flush out loads of wax, and do not have any foul odor. The dog is happy, and I believe this combo has fixed up his ears without the expense of a vet. I'm very pleased with this product. It worked well for my dog, and it never irritated his ears. The product (s) have a nice clove smell that is pleasing as well. Strongly recommended.

I bought this Vet's Best Ear Relief Wash in the summer of 2011 when my puppy was about 6 months. She is now 1 year and 4 months. After she got fixed and had a cone on her head for a couple of weeks, I saw the first signs of smelly, dark brown waxy build up in her ears. She was scratching like crazy (but couldn't really scratch b/c of that darn cone on her head) and I was very concerned. I tried ear cleaners from the vet but it did not help.I like sticking with natural products, I feel like it's the safest way to go and the body does not become resistant to it so you don't have to constantly up the dosage and strength.Anyways, after cleaning out her ears 2 days in the row with this ear relief wash, BAM! The smelly dark brown wax was not coming back at all and it made her ears smell really good! My puppy had no irritation to it at all.There was another time where she had a really BAD ear infection and she whined with bloody, scabby looking ears. I could tell she was suffering and it made me feel really sad too, I used this ear relief wash and she stayed so still like it was calming her pain and itchiness.I now use this regularly, once a week even if I don't see wax or an infection. It prevents any infections from occuring and is a great ear cleaner.I recommend this product to dog owners who want to get rid of their dog's constant ear infections or even to owners who just want a ear cleaner to keep their dogs healthy and happy. I highly recommend this product for puppies as well b/c it is so gentle.

It helps clean my dogs ears, which she needs it weekly.

One ear infection on my youngest English Mastiff resulted in hot spots on his cheek. I didn't realize it was due to an ear infection, but when it spread down his neck overnight we went straight to the vet. We were to take him home and shave his face before using the topical prescriptions. My 250lb husband tried to hold my 200 pound dog while I shaved his irritated face. That didn't work! We ended up having to take our baby back to have him sedated, shaved, and ears cleaned while they had him down. You could imagine that cost! (Although experiencing a drunken mastiff added some comedic value - if only he weren't feeling bad.) The vet advised we stop using a plastic water bowl (without me telling him we had a plastic bowl) and be sure to wash his ears weekly. I've been using this ever since and no more ear issues! I chose it because I'm familiar with the properties of the ingredients in the wash. I clean their ears weekly and let them dry on their own overnight. If the next day I can rub their ears and hear squish, I use the ear dry. I'm blessed that I found this first try! I highly recommend it, and a stainless water dish.

This stuff works great! Parked with the dry solution its perfect for my dogs waxey ears

I've noticed some people complaining about the strength of the smell of this ear wash; it's true, the smell is rather potent. However, I really enjoy the scent and feel like it leaves my Golden Retriever puppy's ears smelling fresh and slightly herbal (from the Chamomile and Yucca). I love that it's alcohol-free and made with natural ingredients; I've read a lot of contradicting accounts about using alcohol in a dog's ears and I'd rather err on the side of caution, especially considering what a good job this alcohol-free wash does. I haven't used it to flush his ears; thus far I've just taken a bit on a makeup remover pad and gently wiped away any wax buildup visible in the outer ear, then dried with a clean cotton ball. As he gets older I will be using a bit as a wash too, so I'm glad that on top of all of my other raves about it, it's also very affordable (I went with the refill 16-ounce size for $8).

Based on fellow Amazon reviews, I bought this ear wash for my newly adopted dog. He was in desperate need of a bath and had a bad cold from the shelter, requiring antibiotics. A couple baths and weeks later, he still had a bad smell that didn't seem right despite the antibiotics helping the cold. Sure enough, his ears were infected.Overall, I agree with other reviewers about the product having a weird smell but works. Over time though with nearly daily use, the smell didn't go away enough - family and friends didn't want him near them - thought he was too smelly. I ended up using another vet product that a friend used for her dog - also available on Amazon but not all natural. He's a great dog - so cuddly and great with kids. It was too bad the product turned people off.This ear wash did help when I first started his treatments. I was able to clean up quite a bit of gunk that first time. Like other reviewers, the bottle I have is still good but has the old cap. I'll likely only use in an emergency if I run out of the other product.

Used it a couple of times already and so far I’m loving it. It’s very easy to use. Just add a few drops to your pet’s ear, place a cotton pad over the ear hole and massage the lower ear so the liquid can work on the whole inner ear. From there you can just use a cotton pad to wipe everything out.

Se siente un olor fuerte pero parece que si funcionó para una de mis perras, llegó bien empacado y a tiempo, buen producto.

Mi perrita schnauzer tenia un problema en su oreja izquierda, por más que le limpiaba todos los días terminaba manchada con un líquido café, utilice este producto con un algodón durante 4 días y hasta la fecha no ha vuelto a presentar ningún problema, no irrita, sugiero aplicar lo necesario limpiando suavemente no tan profundo.

My dog has an ear infection/brown discharge that smells funky, but after cleaning his ears with this, I’m seeing less of the brown discharge and the scent of the ear cleaner is overpowering the funky smell. He still scratches his ear from time to time but not as frequent as before.

I wanted a relief for my dog Bichon Maltese Mix. This did the job. I saved the vets visit. It's when I saw brown discharge coming out of her ears and she scratching it everytime. Now even after get visit to the beach I use it. Her ears r healthy now. Thanks . Hope to c it available in pet stores as well.
