My dog keeps shaking his head I went to the Vet I was told his ears are OK, if he has ear mites will this product work?

If the vet says the dog's ears are OK this product will help. My dog had one ear that was a gooey mess but no visible mites. I treated him 3 days in a row and saw immediate improvement. Now we do a treatment about once a week. He loves it. Go for a serious ear massage with administration. I counted to 100 per ear. Then stand back! This is an outdoor activity.

Yes, It works to clean the ears out amazingly well! My dog didn't have ear mites to my knowledge, but a friend said it worked on their dogs ears who did have ear mites! My dog still doesn't have any problems with her ears. And she would shake her hea profusely all thru out the day and even worse thru the night. Now she sleeps thru-out the night, and so do I! After the first few days of using it daily, I now only have to use them once a week and sometimes I forget to do it weekly and she is fine!

Has anyone used this for ear mites in dog's? A dark brown to black build up in ears. Thank you!

Yes. it's great that he doesn't have any ear mites, but he could just be having allergies this time of year, and these ear drops are very soothing to the dog. I know my dogs are allergic to ragweed and have been shaking their heads too, so I just started them back on these drops. If there are no bugs present I would absolutely use this ear cleaner to soothe their ears.

I would think your Vet should be able to tell if your dog has ear mites. The dog would probably be scratching its ears if there were ear mites present. This is a very good ear cleaner and it has helped my dog's ears. It is pricey, but worth it, if it helps.

Not 100% urea out the mites but it worked wonders on my Basset hounds when the vet could do nothing to stop the head shaking and constant scratching and odor. Cleared most symptoms in a few days. After two weeks all was well and has remained so.

I'm not sure if it does...it worked pretty good for my dog but i think she has deeper ear infection than this could cure. The only thing I've tried for ear mites that worked was memetamax (sp?). Its prescription

don't think this product works on ear mites; claims to kill fleas only. We have used Animax ointment which seemed to work well for ear mites.

It worked for my friends dogs, but not ours. I can tell it works, he tilts his head and kind of looks around, but then keeps barking.

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!

If your vet gives you the all clear for the most common skin irritants it is likely allergies. If it is food related try switching to a limited ingredient dog food. If it is environmental then antihistamines it cannot be avoided.

Alan,Since I'm not an entomologist, I couldn't say with any certainty how it would affect bird mites, but it took care of my flea problem very nicely. I would contact Vet-Kem, Siphotrol's manufacturer, for that information. Also, your local veterinarian may have some ideas.Respectfully,Scott S.

The Thundershirt didn't work for our Yorkie at all- it had no effect whatever. We took it back to the pet store and got a refund. Sorry we can't help or answer your question better.

I have done it two ways...squeezed some in my dog's ears then rubbed it in then she shook her head, and also, I go back in with forceps and a cotton ball or two! It does seem to work a little bit better when I use more of it on a regular basis. It takes her itchy ear shake away!

I have a sheltie he has problem with fungus and odor and scratching with it. This shampoo is to harsh sometimes so I have to watch his skin. I have to spray moisturizer on it. Every dog is different. You are going to have to try and see what is best for your dog. Sometimes I get a shampoo and think it is working good and can use a while and I have to change again. It is frustrating but love my dog. Hope I gave you some insight. Good Luck.

This is medication intended to clear up ear infections. The instructions state not to clean ears while using this product or the enzymatic action will not work. Ask your veterinarian to recommend the mildest canine ear cleaner to use for a dog that does not have ear problems. There are also good ear cleaning solutions here on Amazon as well as online stores like 1800petmeds.

Try Zymox with 1% cortisone. Cleared up my dogs ears quickly and have stayed clear since. They also have a daily ear cleaner that works well.

It's actually a great question, Brandon. And the Ear Cleanser works wonderfully for cats and kittens. We have several customers who foster rescued cats and kittens and have used the Cleanser to get rid of mites and more. And here's a snippet from a recent reviewer here who got great results with a dog, so tried it on a suffering cat, too: "I also have main coon cat which has horrible ear issues. they were so bad, he would come home with bald spots under his ears from scratching so bad. So I used some on him and wow! I still cant believe how amazing this stuff is! Its cleared my cat right up too!!!!!"Thanks for asking, and do let us know if you have other questions or there's anything else we can help you with. It's actually a great question, Brandon.

My vet recommends squeezing the cleanser onto a cotton ball so that it's totally soaked, then putting the cotton ball at the top of the canal, but in just enough so that it makes the squishy noise when you massage the ear. After massaging it for a few minutes, take it out, wipe gunk away, and let your dog shake his head. This is just one way. I've seen another vet squeeze solution directly into the ear until you can see a waterline at the top of the ear canal. Then massage, wipe away, and let shake. My vet just doesn't want to do the latter because he says it's uncomfortable.

I have a female blue nose pitbull. She has really bad skin allergies and hives up. We tried everything even putting her on hypoallergenic shots once a week from the vet. Switching to dog foods sensitive to allergies didn't work either. The only success came from feeding her to 100% home made food. She has not had an outbreak for a year now. I can't say that this product is the solution, but I can say it's been part of the recipe for a year. We feed her meat, veggies, multivitamins for dogs, and salmon oil all mixed. I'm happy to share more info with you, just email me chrism987@gmail.com. I am not a vet, or an expert in animal care of any kind. I just went through a lengthy process of trial and error and found a solution that works for my dog.

No I don't think it would do the job right. It seems to work only when my dog shakes his head not when he barks. I know the PetSafe Deluxe Big Dog Bark Control for $129.99 will work and also PetSafe Bark Control with Vibration for $79.99 will work also. I'm ordering the 79.99 next to give it a try.
