Vet's Best Dog Ear Cleaner Kit - Multi-Symptom Ear Relief - Wash & Dry Treatment - Alcohol-free

I've been using this product for quite a while and I'm very happy. It works quickly and brings relief instantly. I called customer service just now because I didn't know if it had an expiration date and it's been a year since I last purchased it. The customer service representative was extremely pleasant and helpful. She took the time to find the information I needed. Apparently it doesn't expire, but after 3 years it loses some effectiveness. I had a bit of trouble figuring out when the ones I had were manufactured and she helped me there as well. A very pleasant experience for a wonderful product.

Great product,, works great

Vet’s Best Ear Relief Wash works well but the replacement bottle did not have a spill proof sticker on the outside of the cap so it came undone and some product spilled out into the box ruining one corner of the box. Instead of sending back i’ll just use it. Please make sure to add an anti-spill sticker on the outside.

Like many reviewers, I stumbled upon this product while doing research on how to treat my dog's chronic ear infections. She is a lab mix with floppy ears, and allergies and would CONSTANTLY, and I mean constantly, get ear infections. I was always in and out of the vets office. As soon as her ear would clear up, 1-2 weeks later she would have an ear infection again. You can imagine how expensive it gets, and I felt like my vet didn't believe that I was doing my best to wash her ears every week. I think the main reason she would get ear infections was due to allergies, which would cause her to itch her ears , and then they would get swollen and infected. Anyhow, I was trying to keep costs down and help my poor dog. I used over the counter ear washes like a brand called DermaPet Malacetic Otic, which seemed to help quite a bit but wasn't full proof all the time, and my dog HATED having her ears cleaned with it. Then I tried using a mix of 1/2 White Vinegar or Apple Cidar Vinegar and 1/2 rubbing alcohol. This also seemed to work well (better than the ear wash actually), but again not full proof and my dog hated it. I also found a product called Zymox (with and with out cortisone) that is made with enzymes and is good for clearing up yeast ear infections. This also was a really great product, but if my dog did not have a yeast ear infection then it didn't work at all. Finally, I came across Vet's best. After using the Vets best itching spray (for allergies) and having favorable results, I decided to just try out the ear wash/dry kit, what could it hurt? I liked the fact that it was natural, contained clove to fight infection, chamomile and aloe to soothe her ears, and had no alcohol ! That's right, no alcohol ! I hadn't thought of it before, but alcohol stings. That's when the lightbulb went off, lol. Imagine if someone poured that in MY infected ear. It wouldn't feel so good. So, I thought, well they need alcohol in it to dry the ear out so how does this stuff work. Well, the drying cream turns to a powder when dry, and that's what soaks up the moisture in the ear. So, I bought the product ...and it was time for an ear cleaning...my dog was resistant as usual, but once I put the Vet's Best wash in her ear she stopped resisting. It was like she was in shock, and thinking 'hey this ain't so bad'. Well, the product has been absolutely amazing ! I've been using the wash/dry kit about a year, and my dog has no issues with letting me clean her ears anymore, infact I think she likes it because it soothes her ears. The product works excellent for cleaning her ears and I use both the wash and the dry, and it smells good too. My dog does look a little funny afterwards when it dries b/c she has white powder in her ears, but it comes off and I don't care as long as it works and she is happy. I want to stress that I use this as a preventative to an ear infection ! I wash her ears once a week (more if I think she's having bad allergies) to prevent an ear infection. If I clean her ears and I see signs of an ear infection starting ...maybe a little dirty wax, or faint yeast smell I will wash her ears everyday that week until those symptoms are gone. I would not use this product if my dog already had an ear infection, because her ear canal would probably be swollen, red and irritated. For an actual ear infection I would either use Zymox Otic, or take her to the vet for antibiotics. I'm happy to say, though, that I have NOT had to take my dog to the vet for an ear infection since starting this product, and my dog is happy too ;) p.s. works well on dogs that don't have chronic ear infections too ;) lol I use it on my other dog also.

Helps some, dog doesn’t like them but it does seem to help

Product arrived when seal broken and open. Half of it had spilled in the shipping envelope. I guess they're no bow to protect the bottle? Also felt like someone had returned it and I received a used bottle. Either way, the product smells nice and appears to give my Great Pyrenees some relief. He gets moisture stuck under his heavy, floppy ears. We have frequent rain here in TN and it's been a battle over the years to find something that works. I am hoping this delivery was a fluke and if I order again, the bottle will make it through shipping.

I actually ordered this ear cleaner today and paid a little extra for same day delivery. Sure enough got it right on time. Just want to give amazon props for that because I really needed this product in a hurry.My dog suddenly started shaking his head and freaking out on one of his ears. Went to get the ear cleaner and remembered I was out. Couldn't find my regular brand and gave this a try. My pup was getting super anxious over his itching. I have to say this really helped. After the wash he ran around a little rolling on blankets. Don't be alarmed if your dog does this it's perfectly normal. They are kind of like ew gross what's this get this off me. He calmed down and was able to sleep finally after a long day of ear irritation.I want to mention a few things that may help someone else. Its important you have a towel ready. After you enter the liquid filling the canal (not the whole ear just the canal) massage the the canal from the outside of your dogs ear to loosen up the gunk. When you let go they are going to shake their head like crazy to get the liquid out. This is what you want so they can dry the inside of their ear. When they do this the liquid goes everywhere so make sure to kind of shield your dogs head or yourself with the towel.This product contains tea tree oil. It stings a little on the skin and lingers. Especially if you have sensitive skin. That doesn't mean its hurting your dogs ear. It has to be strong to loosen up the junk in there so its going to tingle in thier ear. Pretty normal with these kind of products. The smell of the product is like menthol mixed vaporub and peppermint. It's a little strong but not that dramatic. I actually think it smells ok. If you've used vaporub you probably wont care about the smell.Make sure you go in and dry the ear with a cotton ball. Dont just poor the dry formula in hoping that will do it. I actually did not apply the dry formula to the canal but did use it in the ear flaps. It seemed to be relaxing to my dog after applied.I hope this is helpful. I remember my first time cleaning my dogs ears. I had just watched a youtube video on it and thought oh this will be easy. Truth is it wasn't. The hardest part, at least for me, was keeping my dogs still to get their ears clean. Just have a little patience if your pup isn't cooperating. They eventually get used to it and it gets easier for them and you.

Used this product I'm my dogs ear the night we got which was a few days ago. She has not been itching her ear or having us rub it
