Hi!! I wouldn't suggest this for ear cleaning. For ear cleaning I would suggest what I've used for quite a while it's called Expert Care ear care by Bayer. That's the best ear cleaner I've ever used. The Zymox is really excellent for the chronic itching!!!!!! Hope this helps!!!!

I believe it is a very gentle medication, so it should probably be fine. Since it doesn't state on the bottle though, I would contact Zymox. http://www.zymox.com/contact-us

I don't know what kind of puppy you may have. I have Shih Tzu's and yes, I did use it on Sweet Pea since she would have ear infections easily. I lost her in the food contamination situation about 4 years ago. Bai Jin the Shih Tzu I have now is fine so I don't use it. I would check with my vet first to make sure.

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!

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.

Hmmm hard to say. It provides good suction in short bursts. I would talk to your doctor before using it for your ears

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.

I am sorry I cant help as I havent used yet, given mine to my puppy families in their 'puppy pack' , I would imagine just rinsed out as just a water bowl and shouldnt get that dirty ..........maybe gently scrub the dirty spot carefully with a tooth brush .........I am not sure ..............

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.

My pups are 4 and 5 human years so I would say yes. Not sure I would use it in a pup younger than 1 without a Vets ok.

I used it a few times on my schnauzers and it seemed ok. Your dog is very small so I'd only use it carefully. Please keep away from the eyes & don't let him lick it, it is toxic if licked off. You might have to put a special collar that prevents him from licking it until it's completely dry. I hope this helped! *puppy hugs!

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!

If you have kids you know can that alcohol be very effective at drying liquid in the ears, like with swimmer's ear. So alcohol will help to dry out the oozy stuff inside. If you're worried about your dog's ear lining getting dry, just follow the instructions and wipe excess off with a paper towel. As far as the other ingredients, should all be helpful. For example, Tea tree oil is antiseptic and prevents infection. Boric acid is a powder and not like other acids. It's often used by groomers to treat dog and cat eye stain, and in humans to fight infections in the ears. And Rosemary is also used for treating human ear problems like tinnitus. Hope this helps!

dozer had this black substance n his ear and all i can say is that he doesn;t shake his head anymore and doesnt have that flaky skin n his ear which left a very bad smell. eco ears has done wonders for dozer: also he hasnt gotten ear infections since ive been using. eco ears has a pleasant odor. i will continue to use it as long as dozer is alive. he is twelve years old. i also purchased the zymox ear cleanser and the zymox octic hc which works better than what the vet gave me

I rubbed it on the outside of his ear around the base and put about 2 or three drops in each ear daily. I did clean out his ears before i used it, i got some little pads from the market for ear cleaning.

That will depend entirely on the essential oil you use. The unit itself is safe of course. Research the oils you use and double check with your vet.

It's really up to you and your puppy. We typically change it once a day, however, your puppy may be willing to use it longer.

I never rinse it off. I believe that it contains conditioners that are good for my puppy's feet. Also, here's a trick (as I've tried other brands and this is my favorite). Make sure that when closing it, you here the "snap" so that it is closed tightly. Then, turn it upside down so that any liquid goes to the top of the pouch and it won't be dried when pulling out the next one. The drier they are, the harder it is just to pull out one, so I do this with the Tushie Wipes too. Just make sure it's closed tightly, then you'll have an extra wet wipe ready for your next use.

I currently have this product. On the liable all I see is, trizEDTA, (tromethamine USP, disodium EDTA dihydrate) and deionized water. My German Shepherd gets severe ear infections in his one ear. So I have to clean them every day to keep him good! This stuff seems to work great. Just at vet and he said his ears look fantastic.
