Pet King Brand Zymox Otic Enzymatic Solution for Pet Ears, 4 Ounces

I’ve been using Zymox Otic Enzymatic Solution as both prevention and treatment, it has the viscosity of glycerin. For my 14 lb dog, I use 1 drop in each ear right after baths. When a yeast infection shows up, I fill the ear canal (about 1–2 drops) daily and squish it in the canal for 30 seconds to a minute—you should hear it—before letting her shake it off, for a full 7-day cycle. Her ears usually clear within 48 hours, but I always finish the full treatment. I’ve used prescription ear meds before on my other dog, and those worked—but this works just as well.

Zymox is very effective at keeping ear irritations in check, and for overall ear cleansing.

Does your dog have an ear infection, does he cry when you touch his ears too firmly, does he shake his head often? Consider this, my vet recommended it, put a squirt in and gently massage into the infected area. My dog appeared to have so much pain and discomfort before this

Like many posters here my dog (Boston Terrier) has had severe chronic ear problems for many years. And, like others, the vet wouldn't prescribe anything over the phone, or even prophylactic antibiotic or antifungal medication to help them stay clear. Daisy was always scratching, to the point where the back of her ears were bald. Trips to the vet were financially draining. It got so expensive that I had no choice but to faithfully clean her ears every other day at home and rub antibiotic ointment or hydrocortisone ointment on the outside of her ears to cut down on the scratching. That helped but she still shook her head all the time and scratched, scratched, scratched. Recently, after searching the web again in desperation, I came across this product. The real reason I decided to try this was because of the numerous positive reviews from people who had previously purchased it. The product was delivered promptly and I used it for the first time that evening. I swear, I noticed a difference in my dog within hours. She slept so peacefully that first night... no head shaking or scratching. The next day I used it again and cleaned her ears a couple of hours later. I was easily able to remove a lot more debris out of her ears than I normally would, a great deal of which was dead skin and scabs. After two days the difference in the appearance of her ears was unbelievable. After daily use for 10 days her ears were gorgeous... soft, supple, no thickened skin, no dry and flaky skin, no redness, zero odor. The difference in Daisy's behavior has been even better. The scratching has stopped, so has the head shaking. The hair behind her ears has even grown back. After 10 days I cut back to using the product every 3rd day or so. Her ears haven't gotten worse with less use. The improvement has maintained. It's been several weeks since I first used it and she's like a new dog. This product is clear but oily and I think the consistency of the product really helps. It oozes all over the inside of her ears and that's probably why I was able to remove so much more debris than I was able to with regular ear cleaners - the oily properties softened the gunk in her ears and loosened it. Most ear cleaners for dogs is alcohol-based, more watery than oily, and evaporate quickly. The alcohol probably has more of a drying effect than anything. I have to add that really good and regular cleaning along with using this product was, I have to believe, a very important part of the process. Cleaning her ears removed a lot (a LOT) of debris that I just wasn't able to get out with any other cleaner I tried. I can't help but think the dead skin and gunk I couldn't get out previously played a large part in what was itching/irritating her before. Anyway, in less than a week when I cleaned her ears I began getting less and less gunk on each cleaning. Before I started using the product her ears felt rough, thickened, and hard (almost calloused) in spots. Today, about three weeks after beginning use, her ears are beautifully soft and supple. I honestly didn't believe this product would work so well - I hoped that it would help - give her some relief and cut down on vet visits. The results have been absolutely amazing. I don't know why this product isn't for sale at PetSmart, Target, or Walmart - or why my vet doesn't either know about it or want to recommend it. Every dog owner should have this product. If I knew it would work so well I would have bought the 8 oz, not the 4 oz. I've already recommended this to everyone I know who owns a dog. If your dog suffers at all from ear problems PLEASE try this.

Elder chug had massive ear infection and I used this for comfort etc. Oh my gosh it's great! Easy to use, calls her right down because it stopped her constant itching.
