EcoEars Dog Ear Cleaner – Natural Multi-Action Formula for Ear Infection, Bad Discharge & Odor – Removes Foreign Matter & Cleans Difficult Ears - 8oz

Bought this product when a Cairn Terrier I rescued continued to have severe symptoms that ranged from shaking her head violently and scratching furiously at her ears literally all day and all night long. Prescription medicine from the vet failed, but Eco-Ears worked like a charm! I am absolutely BLOWN AWAY by how very incredibly effective this product has proven to be, and that is saying a great deal since I expected it to work. You see, I did a considerable amount of research into what worked and what didn't work before I settled on this treatment. In my efforts, I also researched several other recommended products. This one was the most promising, however, because that research ultimately revealed that each of its ingredients were well-established as being helpful for the problems for which we needed solutions. I expected that this would work like the thousands of reviewers before me had testified that it worked for them. What I hadn't anticipated was how virtually immediate its effectiveness would prove or how long-lasting its effects proved to be. In only three days of treatment with EcoEars, we appear to have resolved the condition and symptoms altogether. Its been more than 9 days since she last scratched her ears or shook her head. I cannot believe it! But, honestly, 9 days! Thirty days of prescription medicine and two weeks of prescription ear drops failed miserably at getting her any relief. EcoEars took three days. Wow! I am so very thankful for this product! My Cairn Terrier is, too, but she wouldn't convince you of that if you could see her right after we've "doctored her ears." That is a sight that probably would make you think otherwise. This frantic behavior she displays is hilarious to watch, really, but that is only because I know she hasn't been harmed or subjected to any pain from this ear treatment, and, too because I know she won't be scratching those inflamed ears or shaking her head crazily once I've used this product to take care of her needs. Now, should you need this for comparison or for your own decision-making uses, here is a bit more background on the problems which led me to find Eco-Ears for use with my rescued Cairn Terrier... When I got her, she had huge black areas on her rear legs that were scaly and itchy, and from which she had chewed away almost all of her coat's fur. Our trusted vet did some testing and we learned that most of this was from an infection of candida (yeast) and its overgrowth on the skin. So, we did a prescription medication of ketoconazole for 30 days, twice weekly baths with a medicated shampoo containing chloride hexahydrate and topical ketoconazole for a month, along with twice daily treatment of her ears for 2 weeks with the broad spectrum prescription medicine Maxi-Otic. In addition, I researched and developed a little something of my own to use topically which included a special blend of key essential oils in a base of coconut and argan oils. I used this to supplement the traditional treatments my vet ordered and to more quickly heal her skin. On follow-up with the vet, he described her progress as remarkable: though improvement was expected, it was not expected to have cleared up as well as it had. The blackened, scaly and thickened skin that had covered her back legs was softer, more supple, regrowing hair, and almost back to normal. I told him about my secret weapon, and he wanted to know what was in my "proprietary blend" (LOL). However, I had not been so lucky with her ears. The medicine we'd tried on those danged ears failed to clear the chronic infection by yeast which my vet identified as their invaders. I was given another bottle of it, but I wasn't pleased with the initial results enough to keep using it. That's what led me to more research. The Internet had tons of talk about this very thing, by any and everybody, and some of them claimed they had found the answers: apple cider vinegar, isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), hydrogen peroxide, distilled white vinegar, coconut oil, tea tree oil, etc. Well, further research verified what I already knew: apple cider vinegar stinks incredibly badly; rubbing alcohol can burn and contains water which contributes moisture that yeast love, vinegars contains water (upto 94% or more) but it is acetic, and, though mild, can cause a burning sensation; hydrogen peroxide (is app. 97% water, and breaks down into--guess what--more water; coconut oil is greasy and probably is not yet proven as the antimicrobial agent that many claim it to be; and tea tree essential oil can be toxic to dogs (absolutely do not use tea tree essential oil without consulting your veterinarian first and/or if you do not know how to make sure the pure EO is properly diluted to a level that is made considerably safer and less toxic for use with dogs since undiluted uses in the ears can cause ototoxicity leading to hearing loss including acquired deafness). A career in massage therapy and an education that included aromatherapy with essential oils inspired a belief in homeopathic uses for essential oils, so I did more extensive research. When the data I found was not yet tried and true, I was made more apprehensive about using any of these in my dog's ears. But I had amassed a lot of information which included historical uses of several natural remedies that were purportedly effective. So, I began looking for commercial solutions in lieu of making my dog a guinea pig for any irresponsible animal testing. I found several products marketed for this very problem in dog's ears, and one of these was EcoEars. Among these, a check of listed ingredients proved helpful when I confirmed that ingredients in Eco Ears were reliable and safe. I also observed the most consistent satisfaction by users who reviewed any of the leading products for this purpose was decidedly held by buyers of EcoEars. Fortunately, their reported successes and satisfactions were just what I needed to support my decision to try EcoEars. Am I glad I did! I have a much less irritated Cairn Terrier, and thanks to EcoEars, her ears are no longer leading her to do any more of the formerly furious scratching or rigorous head shaking. If only I had this at my disposal when I got her. I feel bad because I could have known about EcoEars and might have stopped her unnecessary suffering straight away. All five stars belong to Eco-Ears for resolving symptoms of my dog's itching, yeasty ears!

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.

Cleans well does get rid of some of the smell but I thing they change it a bit doesn’t work as well as it did years ago

Used 4 days on my dog, 100% better. Easy to apply. More than enough in the bottle. Recommend
