Why wiping the flap does nothing
The buildup sits in the canal
Wax, dirt and trapped water collect down in the ear canal, below anything a cloth can reach. A few drops flood the canal, a short rub works it loose, and the head shake carries it up to the flap.
The swab only cleans what you can see on the outer ear and never goes down into the canal. An ear that smells bad, looks red or seems sore needs a vet, not a rinse.
When to use it, and when not to
- The evening after a bath or a swim, when water is still sitting in the canal
- Routine cleaning for ears that look and smell normal. A red, sore or smelly ear needs a vet, not a rinse
- Floppy eared breeds like Retrievers, Spaniels, Beagles and Basset Hounds, which trap more of everything
- The cat that gives you about ten seconds, where drops and a quick rub are the whole job
- Muddy outdoor days, because dirt gets into ears the same way it gets everywhere else
Why this bottle and not another
Alcohol free and unscented
The ingredient photo lists water, glycerin, aloe extract, disodium EDTA and betaine salicylate, with no alcohol and no added fragrance. That is the reason we picked it over a cheaper alcohol based bottle.
A nozzle that bends
The soft tip flexes instead of holding a hard edge, so it sits at the opening of the ear without anything rigid going down into the canal.
One bottle for the house
It is sold for dogs and for cats, every breed and size. The floppy eared breeds trap the most, and the same bottle handles the cat.
How to use it
Drops in
Rest the soft nozzle at the opening of the ear and squeeze in two to three drops. The tip stays at the opening, never pushed down into the canal. First time? Do one ear and wait a day before the other.
Massage the base
Rub the base of the ear for about half a minute. The massage works the buildup loose so the head shake can carry it up and out.
Shake, then wipe
Step back and let your pet shake. Wipe the outer ear with one of the swabs, cleaning only what you can see. The swab never goes down the canal.
What comes in the box
One bottle with the soft bendable nozzle fitted, plus cotton swabs for the outer ear. The box reads 118 ml, 4 fl oz, and the photos show 10 swabs. The packaging says anti-itch, antimicrobial and vet recommended. Those are its words, not ours: this is a routine ear rinse.
