Treat and Prevent Ear Infections

 

 
  

Clean your pet's ears regularly.

Ear infections in dogs and cats are frequently caused by allergies or trapped moisture in the ears, which can lead to bacteria and yeast buildup. Although some dog breeds may be prone to ear infections more often than others, most ear infections can be prevented with regular ear cleaning. To help keep your pet's ears healthy, try our 1-800-PetMeds Ear Cleansing Solution. It contains antimicrobial and antiseptic ingredients to clean and deodorize your pet's ears.

How to clean your pet's ears using our 1-800-PetMeds Ear Cleansing Solution:
  • Soak a cotton ball in the ear cleaning solution and squeeze out any excess solution.
  • Gently rub the cotton ball around the inside of your pet's ear.
  • Allow your pet to shake his or her head. This movement helps to remove dirt from inside the ear.
 
"I've purchased many different ear cleaning products for our German Sheppard and Lab over a few years and have found that the 1-800-PetMeds Ear Cleansing Solution is the best by far! Not only is it a gentle cleaner for the ears, the ears smell great and helps take the dirt and grime out of the ears easily. I saturate a cotton ball for each ear with the solution at room temperature and gently massage our dog’s ears. It is great maintenance to use this solution during the hot summer months to prevent infections too! It works for our dogs!" - David
  
  

Clear up an existing ear infection.

If your pet has an existing ear infection, Dr. Michael Dym, VMD highly recommends using Zymox Otic products. Both solutions contain enzymes to kill bacteria in the ear and prevent the bacteria from spreading. For itchy ears, use Zymox Otic Enzymatic Solution with Hydrocortisone. If your pet's ears are severely irritated or the skin of the ear is broken, Zymox Otic Enzymatic Solution Hydrocortisone Free should be used. Wait 2-3 days after using Zymox before cleaning your pet's ears. Cleaning your pet's ears too soon can stop the enzymes in Zymox from working. If the condition worsens, see your veterinarian immediately.
 
 
  

  
 
Max's Tip: If your pet enjoys swimming or water-related activities, we suggest cleaning your pet's ears after each session to prevent bacteria and moisture from building up.
