A lot. I have a golden who got a bad water in the ear ear infection and I used the bottle for about two weeks once a day. I had a half a bottle remaining. Think small sample bottles for shampoo and thats the size you get, not the punee amount you get at a vet that lasts like 5 days and doesn't fully ride the deep down problem.

My dog showed improvement after the first use and continued to improve. At first, I bathed her three times weekly with this and then gradually tapered off. Her skin is nearly normal now and she gets bathed with this every two weeks. I have also been using the Douxo pads for her ears. Hopes it helps your dog.

Thanks for asking, Angele.You put a few drops in your dog's ear -- just enough so that you can see it. Then you massage the area under the ear gently for a minute or so. (Most dogs really like this part.) Then you dampen a cotton ball or some gauze with a couple drops more, sort of wrap it around the tip of your finger, and swab out the area your finger reaches.If your dog's ears are REALLY dirty, you might need to do that again. For many (probably most) dogs, great results will be immediate. For others, doing this for 2-3 days will do the trick. After that, just clean your dog's ears regularly, the same way you do with baths and such, and you and your pal will both be delighted.

Yea just use water. I've heard of people using hydrogen peroxide but I find it better to let the earwax removal drops do their magic and then flush it out with water. You have to push the water fairly hard and then let the water drain out for a while.

You better look again because I just rechecked my bottle and it is listed on the back.. If you don't see it then they must be using a new formula. Mine was advertised to cure ear infection and it did not do that.You really should have the dog looked at by a vet as ear infection is nothing to mess with . It can get bad enough for the dog to have surgery if you let it go long enough. If your just using it as a ear cleaner there are a lot of ear cleaners on the market that work just as well at half the cost of ecoears.And thats the truth !!!!

When I use it, I just plug the laundry sink, run the water, and squirt some in so while it's filling it's sudsy. I try to keep my pug in there for about 10 min since that seems to be the standard for medicated shampoos. I"ll suds him up with more betadine directly or medicated shampoo, let it sit on him and do his teeth, his ears, and then squirt his paws directly and wipe them down while they're soaking in the diluted tub and then rinse. No official time.....just convenience on my part and trying to get some benefit out of it. I use the 10 min mark as guidelines and then do what works for the moment and adjust accordingly.

No. Make sure you wait at least 3 days after application before your bathe your dog to make sure it does not wash off and you will be just fine. :)

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.

I used to use Otomax. I have a Bassett hound/Beagle and her ears were always getting infected. I have not had to take her in to the vet for an ear infection in almost 18 months. This stuff is great. I use one drop a day in each ear. It says on the bottle not to use any cleaning stuff. I told the vet I use it and he didn't mind. The stuff is great!

My vet advises to massage into coat, leave on 5 minutes, rinse and repeat the same again. Towel dry and apply enzymatic rinse to damp coat and leave on.

Maybe a week. Also brushing your dog's teeth will help the process even more for fresher breath.

Yes, I do. The directions on the bottle are as follows: Shake before use. Apply liberally to uncleaned ear, filling ear canal. Gently massage and work into infected area. Wipe to remove excess. ...

I have both. And can not say enough good things about these products. I use the cleaner once a week at least. It has made a tremendous difference in my dogs ears!! Any more questions let me know!

The two curettes that included are the ring and scoop with the latter is smaller that may work. However, ear cleaning should only be done by professional. Use the otoscope to detect problem.

It worked on my dogs ear also. So I say it might be worth a try or at less get some for after the ear mites are gone to help the ear to become healthy again.

My puppy had less itching within 24 hours. I continued as directed. I did use the ear wash after about a week and have never had a problem again. She was at the vet about 3 weeks later for her last shots and they said her ears looked great. My vet sells and recommends this product as well!
