My vet recommended this product and I have found it to be very effective to cleanses my dogs ears. It is easy to use and can be applied to dogs/puppies and cats/kittens. It does not leave any gummy residue. My dogs do not like me putting it in their ears - I am thinking because it feels cool to them and they don't want liquids entering the ear canal. Once it is in and I massage their ear canals they are fine with it. When I am done they give their heads a good shake which helps loosen and remove any ear wax etc. I know when they shake their heads I have done a good job.

It is hard to tell how much of the product I am using - the directions say to shake well and apply liberally into the ear canal.

Pros: Works well, easy to use, does not leave a residue

Cons: Leaves a slight odor and can be hard to judge the amount used

This is a great cleaning product for your dogs ears. We always use this first before we put in any ear medicines. It helps us get a clear view of the dogs ears. Due to the fact it is oily, it may be a hard stain to get out of your clothes.

Pros: works well

Cons: oily

My vet was out of my typical ear cleaner so I was in a position to be the Vrbac epi-optic. I like this brand for dental supplies but was not completely happy with this companies ear cleaner. It was effective but my regular brand breaks up the wax more quickly and I wasn't a fan of the scent. Completely personal here. I finally got my regular cleaner back in stock at the vet and off to the beagle rescue this bottle of epi-optic went. Better than the off brand donated, so was happy to see it put to good use. Not a bad product but just not one I prefer to use on my pups. They are a quality vet recommended product line.

Pros: Effective

Cons: I don't like the scent

My toy poodle suffered from the usual ear infections that happened on and off for over 6 months until I heard about this solution from a neighbor of mine. I had tried all sorts of solutions of rubbing alcohol mixed with water and cleaned her ear every day but it would go away only to return a week later with brown gunky build-up. My neighbor has a maltipoo and she let me try just a little cotton ball dipped in it and it has worked wonders! I've since bought the Virbac 16 ounce bottle and have my dog swabbed once a week and her ear infection never returned. Try finding the product online rather than have your vet dispense it as they will tack on a hefty price tag.

Pros: Dries fast, no sting, pleasant fragrance

Cons: No cons

Our vet recommended this product for our dachsund who has chronic ear problems. It does a wonderful job cleaning any wax and debris from his ears. However, it is somewhat messy and hard to judge how much of the liquid is actually going into his ears. This could be due to the fact that he absolutely cannot stand for us to clean his ears. Overall, I would highly recommend this product to any pet owner whose pet is prone to ear infections. Since I began using this product regularly, I have noticed a significant reduction in the amount my little guy's painful ear infections.

Pros: Cleans ears very well

Cons: Can be messy
