EcoEars Dog Ear Cleaner

I have an older female purebred black Labrador, 12 1/2 yrs old named Rose who has really suffered from constant ear infections for many years. I took her to the vet a few years ago about this problem and was advised to have her whole inner ear surgically removed! That is definitely something I would not consider. Surgery cannot be undone and can lead to interference fields in other parts of the body. I don't remember the cost, but it was not cheap. Also got an $80 bill for the useless vet visit. I have been trying other anti-fungals such as coconut oil, tea tree oil, oregano oil, hydrogen peroxide, herbal ear washes, etc. but they were not as comprehensive as the EcoEars. I like that all the ingredients work together to knock out the infection very quickly, within the prescribed 10 days. The first couple days, when I did the application as suggested, I could tell by her reaction, that it was very uncomfortable as it attacked the infection creating maybe a burning sensation inside her ears. We had a fresh snowfall just 2 weeks ago and when I took her outside, she was rolling head first into the snow for some relief with vigorous head shaking to get rid of the fluid. This happened several days in a row, but I could tell it was improving. Each time was less irritating for her. She wanted to get away from me when it was time to clean her ears, but I think she also knew it was helping her ears heal. I used a single paper towel to absorb any excess and to wipe out both ears & then toss...wasn't that messy. Last week, I bought the Wax-Vac ear cleaner from a local Walmart (less than $10) to try to vacuum out any debris and excess moisture. It's not necessarily made for pets, but I think it's beneficial. Rose doesn't mind the gentle suction and even helps cool off her ears internally. I have already recommended EcoEars to several people as it's a terrific product. I only used a small portion of the 8 oz bottle I purchased which is nice because I'll probably use it periodically to keep her ears healthy. I think veterinarians should at least know about this as a cure although they would probably up the price. Thank you Enchanted Naturals and Amazon.com for offering this at such a reasonable cost. P.S. I took my dog off all commercial dogfood 9 mos. ago...had her on the most expensive grain-free brands. I switched her to a raw meat diet which did wonders to clear up her dry itchy skin and all the excessive shedding and dander, plus got rid of the stinky smell and she lost the extra weight! On the high-priced dry, grain-free dogfood, she constantly scratched and bit her hind quarters to relieve the itching. The dry dogfood contributes to drying out their skin, but the raw diet replenishes the fat and oils to stop the shedding, the smell and all the itching. There's a recipe at dinovite.com. I use quinoa instead of white rice because quinoa is not a grain. Also, I throw in tumeric powder (anti-inflammatory) for arthritis, slippery elm bark powder, nettle leaf, granulated garlic, and fennel seed powder...all good for relieving dry, itchy skin. Found that at verialiving.com/whatarelief. Dinovite has great articles & products to help your pets. Dinovite also recommends feeding your dog coldwater fish..i.e. salmon, mackerel & sardines alternately for the healthy Omega-3 oils in their diet. I use the canned versions, even tuna, and she loves it! Rose is healthy and active for her age and now much better since her ears don't bother her. She only has just a little white on her chin so I think she's aging well. I don't buy or feed her any dog snacks either as they are full of junk and many are being recalled off the market with increasing frequency. As a treat, I give her beef soup bones usually boiled for 10-15 minutes. She can chew on those for a long time. She also loves dried roasted seaweed or Nori which is full of vitamins and minerals. I buy it at Safeway or Walmart very inexpensively. Another treat is a couple spoonfuls of coconut oil if its not liquid. I've thought about making my own beef or chicken jerky for her too with a healthy marinade like coconut aminos (found at health food stores) instead of soy sauce. Hope these suggestions can help you give your dog comfort, well-being and a clean bill of health. So glad I made the changes for Rose. She's much more content. EcoEars was a plus.

First of all, I would like to thank each and every person who took the time to review this product. Your positive reviews made the difference in my decision to purchase, and I am so grateful I did! Nearly every large breed dog we have ever owned has battled stinky sludgy ear infections. It always means visits to the vet, antibiotics, solutions that never truly clear the infection, etc. The past three years has sent me on a journey for our family to be as holistic as possible and really think about the things we are putting in our bodies. It's had a trickle down affect on our animals, and this product fits the bill. I cannot believe that we have used it for three days and the smell and gunk are already gone! I was leaning over her this morning and hugging her like I always do around her neck, but I can almost always smell the presence of infection. While the infection may still be be there (we still have seven days of this treatment cycle to go) it's obvious this solution has made a difference that we have never experienced in all of our years owning pets. Top to bottom, it's superior. The bottle is extremely easy to use. She doesn't love seeing the bottle coming toward her, so we have started to put the medication in the cap or just soak a soft cloth to massage down in her ear. The smell is incredible!!! It smells clean, natural, and has zero hints of any chemical undertone. The only ingredient that I would say is not necessarily "natural" is the polysorbate which is used as an emulsifier and in this case I'm assuming to help it coat the inside of her ear. The witch hazel and tea tree oil are my favorite of the incidents and act as a powerhouse combination to soothe and heal. I simply cannot say enough good things. Once her infection treatment cycle has ended, we will likely treat her once or twice a month just for preventive maintenance. I am incredibly grateful. Thank you to Vet Organics for creating such a safe, effective, and helpful product. 10/10 BUY IT!

So I've had this for a little over 3 weeks now and wanted to wait to review after I gave it a good chance to work. I was skeptical at first. My beagle-hound mix has ear issues on and off - black discharge with redness inside her ear. Your typical yeast infection. The first time I used it we did it as directed and she was not a happy camper. You can tell by the smell it probably stings a bit. There was nasty black stuff flying everywhere. If you can do it outside that's probably best. The second time we attempted she took one look at the bottle and ran for the hills. She wasn't having it. And no amount of bacon in the world would coax her. So plan b. Sneak attack. I waited until she was sound asleep and bam I squirted it in her ear. I think I got the stink eye from her for a few days. Then onto plan C. Hubby held her down and I poured it in. Same upset dog. There was no way I could do this twice a day as recommended. I figured we'd only do it once a day but for a little longer. I couldn't see putting her through it twice a day. I did start using a medicine dropper which worked so much better than trying to pour it in (might be a good idea to include one with purchase). After a week we started to see less redness & less black funk in her ear and also noticed that it didn't seem to bother her as much when we dropped it in. I can't lie, she's still not thrilled about it, but the infection is almost gone. It would be a breeze to do this with a small dog but my 50 pounder is giving me a run for my money! I still would go this route again. Even if we went to the vet I'd still be trying to corral her to put drops in her ear and it'd cost way more.
