How to Use
Directions for Use
- Apply the Drops: Place 5–10 drops into your pet's ear, using enough solution to coat the ear canal based on its size.
- Massage the Ear: Massage the ear base for 15-30 seconds to help loosen dirt and wax and spread the solution throughout the ear canal.
- Remove Excess Solution: Wipe away any excess liquid and loosened debris from the outer ear using a clean cotton ball or other soft, absorbent material.
- Use as Directed: Follow your veterinarian's instructions for how often and how long to use this product, especially when treating an active ear condition.
- Do Not Use Cotton Swabs: Avoid inserting cotton swabs into the ear canal, as they may force debris deeper into the ear and may cause injury.
