EcoEars Dog Ear Cleaner – Infection Formula, 4 or 8-oz bottle

It depends. If you’re using to treat symptoms of an infection we recommend to treat the infected ear(s) 2 times a day for a minimum of 10-15 days. It is extremely important that you continue treatment without interruption and finish the 2 times a day for a minimum of 10 days. If the infection is a recurring or severe one, we recommend continuing the treatment for 15-20 days for best results.

There is no need to repeat treatment after the 10-15 day recommended cycle; however, some people prefer to treat once per week for “maintenance.” Although maintenance is not necessary, the ingredients used are all natural and gentle and will not harm your pet should you perform an extended course or maintenance.

If you use it as a maintenance it depends on your dog. Some pet owners like to start with once per week and then adjust as necessary, depending on your dog’s need. Hotter summer months and other health issues may contribute to how often you may need to use it.

Some pet owners use EcoEars just monthly to maintain healthy and clean ears.

(Note: If condition persists or worsens, please consult your veterinarian.)

EcoEars contains some alcohol in it and it feels cool to the touch. In many instances, a pet could react to the coolness of the alcohol and is not in any pain. When using EcoEars, it’s best to have the solution at room temperature. The only instance where it may sting a little is if there are any open cuts or scratches inside the ear. Please contact us if you are having problems using EcoEars on your dog.

The percentage of tea tree oil in our formula is completely safe for pets, and is within the recommended amount to be used for dogs.

EcoEars is a natural ear cleaner, not a medicine – so it does not require a prescription. Our formula includes all-natural extracts selected for their antimicrobial and disinfecting properties which are designed to “dis-infect” your pet’s ears.

(NOTE: Use of our products or any consumer product is not a substitute for proper veterinary care.)

EcoEars for Dogs is made with all naturally derived ingredients: Denatured Grain Alcohol, Organic Mullein Leaf Extract, Witch Hazel Extract, Rosemary Extract, Ionic Silver Solution, Boric Acid, Vegetable Glycerin, Tea Tree Oil, Polysorbate 20 (food grade).

(Our EcoEars for Cats has similar ingredients, but it does NOT have any tea tree oil, so it is a gentler version that is safe for cats’ delicate ears and can also be used on very sensitive dog’s ears.)

One bottle is more than plenty to treat a medium-sized dog for the minimum amount recommended (10-15 days). We estimate you can expect to about half a bottle for that. It may depend on how much your dog weighs and the breed. Typically, if your dog is less than 125 pounds then one bottle is enough. You may use any left-over EcoEars after treating an infection as a maintenance cleaner to keep your dog’s ears healthy.

You may use EcoEars for Cat on your dog. For best results, we recommend using the dog version of EcoEars on your dog. EcoEars for Cats has the same ingredients as EcoEars for Dogs EXCEPT for Tea Tree Oil, which means the Cat formula is slightly milder. It’s excellent for dogs with exceptionally sensitive ears.

Yes! Many dog owners love EcoEars to keep their dog’s ears healthy and gunk free. You don’t have to wait for an infection to crop up to use EcoEars. We have from many dog owners who report that their pups learn to enjoy their regular ear treatment and massage. Regular use keeps the pH of your dog’s ears in balance and also dries humid ears to fight against infection.

Yes, both of our EcoEars products (the version for Dogs and our EcoEars for Cats) are effective against bacterial infections (often treated by antibiotics), as well as fungal infections (such as yeast infections) which do not respond to antibiotics.

We consider alcohol to be an essential ingredient because it acts as a drying agent and helps to cut down “biofilm” in the ear. The alcohol we use is derived from Grain (never petroleum distillates).

That said, any alcohol feels cold to the touch and though it does not sting, it may agitate your dog the first few times you use it.

Also, never use EcoEars if any blood is present in the ear unless directed by your vet.

For cats with ear issues, please consider our product EcoEars for Cats. The cat version does not contain tea tree oil, which some cats may be sensitive to, even in the small amounts used in our dog product.

EcoEars is perfectly safe to use, Tea Tree oil is used but at VERY low concentrations which are known to be safe. (At high concentrations, Tea Tree oil can cause very severe irritation and other problems, but at low level concentrations, it is a great natural antimicrobial.) If you absolutely do not want to use any product with Tea Tree Oil, please consider EcoEars for Cats, which does not contain Tea Tree Oil.

We do NOT recommend using EcoEars on any pet with a ruptured eardrum unless directed by your veterinarian. Ruptured eardrums or any signs of blood are indications that need to be treated ASAP.

It is always best to see your vet to make sure to make sure you have the correct diagnosis. Once you know your dog has an ear infection (bad smell, discharge, etc.) you can safely use EcoEars to clear the problem and eliminate the symptoms.

EcoEars is not a medication. It is a natural disinfecting cleaner that has strong antimicrobial properties, and therefore no prescription is necessary.

EcoEars can be used safely for extended periods of time if necessary. For maintenance, we suggest using it once per week.

All Vet Organics products go out the door with a minimum 18-24 months shelf life if kept in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight.

EcoEars is all natural and won’t interact with any medication dog may be taking. However, your dog should not use another ear product at the same time as EcoEars. If your dog is on an oral antibiotic for her ear infection, you should complete the current cycle according to your Veterinarian’s instructions.

EcoEars can safely be used on puppies aged 12 weeks and older. EcoEars has not been approved for puppies younger than 3 months of age. We recommend that you consult your veterinarian.

To be clear about this, EcoEars is a natural ear cleaner, not a medicine. The all natural ingredients in EcoEars are natural disinfectants which are designed to “dis-infect” your pets ears as opposed to “treating an ear infection.” We are contacted almost every single day by customers who tell us that their pet’s infection went away permanently after years of fighting these difficult symptoms. However, because EcoEars is not listed as an FDA approved medication, no claims can be made regarding its effectiveness for treating dog ear infections.

If your pet is pregnant or lactating, EcoEars should only be used under the supervision of your Veterinarian.

If you see blood or your dog has an open wound in the ear, EcoEars should not be used unless recommended by your veterinarian. Having said that, there are two factors at play.

First, one of the ingredients in EcoEars is Alcohol. As you know, alcohol is cool to the touch. In many instances the pet is reacting to the coolness of the alcohol and is not in any pain. We feel that the benefits of Alcohol in EcoEars far outweigh the temporary discomfort the dog experiences due to the Alcohol.

Second, in many cases, the skin can be extremely irritated and when first applying EcoEars it can sting a little. This is common and it goes away a few minutes after the treatment ends; just like when you clean a child’s wound. The vast majority of our customers who experience whining and crying tell us that the redness and inflammation clears up significantly within a couple of hours to a couple of days and their dog no longer whines and cries with subsequent treatments.

If your dog whines or cries you can try adding EcoEars directly to a paper towel or cotton ball and swabbing the ear. You can also start out once per day and move up to twice per day once the irritation goes away.

Every dog is different, however if your dog continues to cry beyond the first day or two, you should take her to the vet for an examination.

The vast majority of dogs see improvement within a day or two and have all of their ear infection symptoms cleared within 10 days. There is no need to repeat treatment after the 10 day recommended cycle, however some people prefer to treat once per week for “maintenance.” Although maintenance is not necessary, the ingredients used are all natural and gentle and will not harm your pet should you perform an extended course or maintenance.

For severe infections which have seen improvement but may still show some symptoms, an extended period of use of 20 days is recommended. If after 20 days, there are still signs that the problem remains, please discontinue use and see your veterinarian.

Typically dog ear infection symptoms will begin to improve in just a couple of days and you should see noticeable results within a week. It is extremely important that you continue treatment without interruption and finish the 10 days. No skipping days unless advised by a veterinarian.

If the condition persists or worsens, please consult your veterinarian.

None what so ever. If your pet acts ‘out of the ordinary’ see your Veterinarian immediately. Note that after a treatment many dogs will run around rubbing their ears on whatever they can find. Do not be alarmed, as this usually goes away after several minutes.

There is no need to clean your dog’s ear prior, however dog ear infections can emit strong odors and fluids, and additional cleaning will not hurt the process. Many people perform extra cleanings to avoid unnecessary mess around the house.

EcoEars will help with the underlying cause of the infection, however fresh or dry blood could indicate a ruptured ear drum. For this reason, you should first have your dog examined by a veterinarian prior to using EcoEars or any ear product.

Even though the concentrations of the ingredients used in EcoEars are safe, EcoEars for Dogs contains Tea Tree Oil which some cats are hypersensitive to. We therefore recommend that EcoEars be used only on dogs. Try EcoEars for Cats for a safe ear cleaner for your kitty.
