Virbac Epi-Otic Advanced Ear Cleaner, 8 oz

Because of beagle anatomy it's important to keep their ears clean, and this product does a good job used in combination with a Q-tip and cotton pads. It smells nice and removes build up without leaving any residue behind.

We have been using this product in the ears of our Doberman for 3 years. We really like the results this ear cleaner give our dog, vet recommended this product to us.

Excellent product.Every ear cleaner that I have ever used on dogs have worked. They all did a good job of cleaning dog ears. However, most of them do not reduce the odor. There are only two products that I have ever used that removed most ear odor. One of them is only available for purchase through a veterinarian. The second one is this Epi-Otic Advanced Ear Cleanser.My dog has long, floppy ears. I clean his ears once per week, right before he takes a bath. I take care to avoid getting water inside his ears. Even so, his ears start getting that smell peculiar to dog ears. His ears just produce a lot of debris. The vets find nothing wrong with his ears during his regular check ups. This product from Epi-Otic has done a very good job of reducing that odor. It does not get eliminate it completely, but the difference at the end of the week is obvious.Dogs with standing ears, prick ears, do not seem to experience this condition. It is usually dogs with long, floppy ears. I suspect it is partly due to moisture and the oils naturally produced within the ear. In any case, this product has done a very good job of reducing that odor. It cleans the ears very well and does not bring discomfort to the dog.I put a little bit of the cleaner in a cotton ball and clean the ears. Afterwards, I give the base of the ear a gentle massage, which my dog just seems to love. The routine has been working well for five years, using a variety of ear cleaners. I have used brands from Wal-Mart, Petco, and also brands sold only through veterinarians. They all work well for cleaning the ear, but this one just has the added benefit of reducing the ear odor.Virbac Labs make good quality pet care products. It's been a benefit to me, and to my wallet, that they can now be purchased from sources other than a licensed veterinarian's practice. That was not the case twenty two years ago when I first used their flea control products. Highly recommended.

I have a 9 year old cocker spaniel. All his life we've battled ear infections. I used the regular one of the Epi-otic and really didn't do the job. I've used this one for the last year or so and his ear infections have decreased and his ears are constantly cleaner and fresh smelling. I think this is a great formula. I use it every other day or every three days. Since he's prone to ear infections on the regular I can't go more than that without cleaning the ear canal and making sure his hair is short. Doing this is keeping his ears healthy. If they do get an infection or I see an infection coming on then I use the zymoxy for ear infections. It takes care of the infection. Using those two his ears are healthier and infections stay managed! I gave it 4 but really it should be 4.5, it would be five if he never got infections with it. But there's always room for improvement right?

Easy to use and works well. Good size and price. I have worked in vets offices and this is what we used for ear cleanings and it does a great job of it

Vet recommended-Love that this is easy to use& very effective in preventing the recurrence of ear infections in our 2 elderly dachshunds, using it as soon as they finish their weekly baths to make sure no water is trapped in there to cause trouble. The larger size bottle is great, lasts a while & I haven’t had any issues with leaking as long as I follow the directions about how to open it & close it up tight when I’m done. Reasonably priced as well.

My 6 week old kitten had a raging case of ear mites. The medicine was the first to arrive and worked well. Once this cleaner arrived, his mites started clearing out even faster. I love that I can also use it my yellow lab who often gets "smelly ears" that quickly turn into an infection if not cleaned out well. The bottle is a good size. I've been using it for a month on the kitten and once on the dog and there's still more than 3/4 of the bottle left. Would definitely recommend. The smell is a bit medicinal, however the kitten doesn't try to wash it off with his little paws which would alarm me, so I guess the smell is unattractive enough to make him say No lol. It's roughly the same price at the other places I looked so I think it's average value, but very worth the money.

I have to Labs that I use this ear cleaner for. It works great!
