Vet Solutions Ear Cleaning Solution for Dogs / Cats How I came to use Vet Solutions A couple of my Dachshunds have excessive wax build up in their ears. This causes their ears to itch so they scratch at their ears which can make it worse and it irritates the dog. All of my Dachshunds love to dig! They are a natural hunting dog originally bred to hunt Badgers. The Dachshund pursues and tracks the badger (by scent) to the Badger den then go into the ground after the Badger. Mine are miniature longhaired dachshunds so they settle for moles and gophers. When digging up the gopher tunnels they tend to get dirt in their ears. This is also something that can cause problems for my Dachshunds and their ears. I inquired about a good product for ear wax and dirty ears while visiting my Veterinarian and he suggested the Vet Solutions. The Vet Solutions ear cleaning solution is used for cleaning dirt or wax, drying water in the ear, acidifies, deodorizes and contains Aloe Vera.
Directions Apply a liberal squirt of the solution into the ear canal. Massage the base of the animals' ear to get the solution into the canal. Allow the animal to shake their head and then clean the ear with a cotton ball. For maintenance of healthy ears for an active dog use once a week and always after swimming.
Conclusion Anything that makes my Dachshunds feel better and is healthy is a good thing. No dog appreciates having any fluid put into its ear, none of mine like it either. However as I brush and clip their nails often they are used to being handled, this makes it a bit easier. I apply the Vet Solution about once every two weeks with my Dachshunds. As a result none of them have any ear problems. I rarely see one of my dogs scratching at their ears. The 8 oz. bottle will last me and my ten dogs about four months. During the summer months I like to take my pack to the lake and go swimming. After the swim I apply a small amount of Vet Solution to their ears to dry any water that may have entered the ear canal. I highly recommend this product to anyone with a dog prone to ear problems. It would also be a good idea to use for bird dogs that spend time in the water. Vet Solutions is a main stay around here.
