When to use it:

To remove purulent secretions in ear infections.

How to use it:

  1. It is recommended that the product should be applied 20-30 minutes before pharmacological ear treatment.

  2. Apply a sufficient quantity to entirely fill the ear canal while holding the ear pinna with the other hand.
    Massage the base of the ear canal for at least 1 minute, so that the product mixes with the purulent discharge, facilitating its removal.

  3. Allow the pet to shake its head in order to expel the mixture of secretion and product from inside the ear canal. Wrap a finger in gauze and clean the opening of the ear canal and the pinna, taking care not to insert it too deeply, in order to avoid causing damage to the animal. Do not use cotton buds. Clean the cannula after each use.

We’ve tried the ALOE VERA Ear Cleaner for regular ear hygiene in all examinations and grooming cases. We are very satisfied, as it is non-sticky, non-oily, and has a pleasant odor.
