Highly Recommended

This is the best ear cleaner I've ever found. So easy to use & easily tolerated by my pets. Just a couple of squirts in the ear, let the dog shake then wipe it out- no need for expensive vet visits or medicated ear drops.

The spraying applicator is a bad design

Dogs are known to have aversion to the act of spraying, especially so close to their sensitive parts such as the ears. The ingredients are perfect but the design is insensitive. A more practical way to apply ear drops like the vets do is by dropper not sprayer. Please consider modifying the applicator to a dropper rather than spraying which makes much more sense in terms of applying the drops to a dog’s ear. I won’t be buying it again until this design issue is being looked at, even though it’s a good product. My puppy hates me spraying his ears and I ended up having to buy a dropper to bypass this problem.

Gentle on the ears

My dog doesn't mind this at all, it doesn't smell like the chemical washes that are available at the vet/pet shops. This has a pleasant natural fragrance and its very gentle of fur babies ears. Will purchase again, as it doesn't leave a sticky residue. Love the spray, a little goes a long way.

So easy to use

I highly recommend this ear cleaner. I spray once in each ear weekly for my cocker spaniel who always has issues with his ears. It cleans them really well. Love that it's natural .
