This product brought long waited for relief for my cocker spaniel...however, the problem did return. I used it again and it cleared up quickly again. At the very least, it surely is the only stuff that thoroughly cleaned that awful smelly gunk from under the flap of his ears. Perhaps you should try using a little on your dog's ears at first to see if there is an improvement--maybe some dogs respond differently--I only know it worked for our dog. Good luck!

The reason that it hurts is due to the inflammation I notice that eco ears contains alcohol that will burn if the infection is raw. But it works, my basset hound had bad infection and that stuff took care of it.

It probably just depends on the dog and the severity of infection?? It's worth a try if you ask me!!

My best guess is it is safe in extremely small doses and as long as there is no broken skin. It is virtually impossible to tell if there is broken skin deep in the ear canals. Tea tree oil is extremely toxic to dogs and cats. If it is ingested or applied topically on broken skin. It is toxic if applied topically in larger quantities even if the skin isn't broken. If you have questions you can call the poison control hotline. If your dog has yeast or fungal ear infections you can get a very inexpensive miconozole liquid from your veterinarian.

EcoEars has worked extremely well with my dogs ear infection. He had terrible infection in his ears. He was rubbing his ears on the floor all the time, scratching at them, they were bright red and very sore to touch, but since using EcoEars, the infection is almost gone, he doesn't rub his ears or scratch them, and the redness is gone. I love EcoEars!

Hi, I found this item to be made cheaply?? Like on top there is no safety so I used wired to stop it from maybe caving in. Also it doesn't close very well either, so you may want to use a back up clip. For a 5 lb dog might be fine but, For a few more dollars you can get either a Midwest or another brand. Hope this helps

Hi JoAnne:Funny, but my my vet suggested buying it online as it's less expensive due to overhead costs as they can't buy in bulk. Thus, I would assume it is the same. All I can say is that I know it works. Maybe time for a new vet?

usually it works very well. Chances could be that the other dogs wanted to play OR saw her as small animal prey. The dog it was originally bought for is a little pitbull mix, about 40 lbs and it really scares him and he stops the minute he sees it. Other dogs seem put off by it too ... certainly worth buying to try it.

no one ever advised me of any risk... my dog drinks and eats... The one thing I do caution people is please don't use the shock but one short press... My poor little dog did a flip the first time I used it... and I was trying to be careful because I used it on myself first so I knew how it hurts... and it does hurt... I've had to use the shock a total of 4 times... and then I was using the vibrate when needed... Its been quite some time since I needed to do any thing but say, Girl... come on over here to me... you're getting further than I want you... stuff like that... she understands there can be a consequence so I don't have to do anything else but be there... so please be kind in your use of the shock function and don't use it more than you absolutely have to.

Do NOT use this device on a dog with epilepsy without consulting your veterinarian!!! You MIGHT KILL HIM!!! I am a vet assistant -- PLEASE please do not consider this type of training device. My heart just skipped a beat reading your question.

I thought the ball was great. My dog, however was scared to death with it. I will tell you, that my ball worked right out of the pkg . I think you should return it and indicate that it wasn't working( the children love the ball.)

Hi, Leslie - I tried this product with my dog, Chelsea and couldn't seem to get her interested in it, but I understand that my experience is not common among users of this product. I still have everything that came with it and would be happy to look up the ingredients on the tube and list them here for you.

The other people answering this are absolutely crazy. Jesus. Don't use this on a dog.

My dog wasn't thrilled either. Maybe you could try contacting wisdom panel about the drool. I doubt it though. They might be able to offer some suggestions on collecting specimens. Maybe your vet could offer suggestions or help. It is so worth it if you can get him/her swabbed.

That I would contact the company about...my dog is 12 but it works amazing...maybe they have a puppy formula

Make sure that you use the appropriate length stud to make proper contact. Some dogs can be more difficult. They need to know way they are being shocked. You must use it with verbal prompts.

We used half a Depends pad inside ours. Probably best to have a second one on hand. Might wait till you see if it works for you and your dog.

Sounds like my 8 year old female Cocker Spaniel. She didn't seem to respond any differently than usual during a car ride while wearing the wrap. I asked her veterinarian to make sure I had it on her properly. It was on just right and looked like a cute doggie girdle. Just didn't help my dog. Works for some,but not all.

Thank you I appreciate the input. The view from the people who have responded so far is quite mixed. I guess it ultimately comes down to the dog. I have a very active Brittany Spaniel and I fear she is just too head strong to stop this behavior but will give it a try.
