Zymox Otic Advanced w/Hydrocortisone

About twice a year, our dog’s ears need more than just a wipe, and that’s when we turn to this product. It has successfully knocked out any and all brewing ear infections due to environmental allergies, swimming, or whatever else. Not having to pre-clean the ear means less discomfort when treating. The gel formula seems to be tolerated better by our dog than the liquid solutions, and between the post-application head shake and wiping of excess gel, it basically coats all surfaces of the inside of the ear to effectively treat the entirety. Hydrocortisone also relieves itch and calms sore, red, inflamed ears, making each subsequent application easier and less painful. If you use this please be sure to use the product for the entire duration that is recommended. This is not a one and done product. It takes time and consistency for these enzymes to fully treat, break down all the gunk, and clean out the ear. If you apply this for only 1 or 2 days, wax and debris will still remain deep inside the ear and nothing will be solved. Don’t be lazy.

My poor goldendoodle has had chronic ear infections since she got anaplasmosis from a tick bite (while on simpirica trio!). The last one in January turned antibiotic resistant. Every time we bring her to the vet, they give keto solution or otic. Her ears were so swollen the stuff doesn’t even get in there! They put her on steroids that made her crazy and still the infection turned worse. The keto solution sits in there making it a wet environment (if they are swollen some will seep down and they can’t shake it out due to swelling, or it just sits on the outside making the ear moist in general), perfect for fungus and bacteria to breed. After thousands of dollars and 3 vets all wanting to do things that don’t work or fix the CAUSE, I decided to not put any more cleaning fluids in (thank goodness for AI helping me make this decision) and just opt for this product when she starts getting itchy which is maybe once a month on air quality alert days. After her last course of topical, oral antibiotics and steroids which usually gave her two weeks of clear ears, I was prepared for another battle. She had 30 days of doxy, 14 days of another one and 7 days of another antibiotic! This destroyed her immune system. All of this because her Simpirica Trio did not work that is 200 for 6 pills (is this a scam?). And vets are not motivated to fix things since they would not have a job without chronic issues. I knew it would be rough. 2 weeks after treatment, like clockwork, her ears started back up. Instead of cleaning them more and taking her back to the vet, I got this stuff. Bam! It’s been 7 months without an infection. I also put her on Proplan fortiflora, proviable probiotics and I make sure her food doesn’t have corn, soy, wheat, or a lot of rice. A lot of the foods that VETS recommend are loaded with filler carbs! Carbs feed bacteria and yeast! Dogs need carbs, obviously just like we do but quality is important. Her food has better carbs like carrots and fruits so she still has energy. She still has itchy days because we cannot control all of her variables and she is still healing from the anaplasmosis, but dang this stuff works to keep her out of the vet and treatments that not only didn’t help, but made it worse. This actually worked to prevent infection and the probiotics have been instrumental in helping her overall immune system. Not only did it prevent infection for her but anytime she gets itchy, it helps in a matter of minutes and she can’t shake it out, it’s easy to drop in and thick. Would be nice to have a dropper bc it’s like a best guess on how much but what I’ve learned is that the sooner you get to it, the less you need and you can spot treat once it is totally clear. Life changing product when you love your pupper more than life. Worth every cent. I hope this review helps at least one other puppy and their pawrents that worry over them. Yes, bring your pets to the vet, but question them, and look for solutions rather than just going along with the plan. Find another vet that actually wants to prevent the problem, not just cytopoint it! Research it. AI is phenomenal now and we don’t just have to watch our pets suffer bc vets only have 15 min to talk to you; we can go in with questions and come to a holistic, preventative solution rather than just throwing antibiotics or allergy shots at everything.

I am extremely happy with this product. My dog’s ears have cleared up much faster than I expected. It’s is very easy to apply, with it being thicker than most liquids. And it’s nice that when my dog shakes her head, the medicine doesn’t go all over her. It gave her relief from discomfort and itching after just a few treatments. I will definitely be keeping this medication on hand.

This stuff is the absolute best. I have an English Bulldog, so he has frequent ear issues. This has cleared up ear infections beautifully. It's saved me money at the vet. 10/10

My doggie had a persistent ear infection, and the vet bills were getting ridiculous. They kept prescribing steroids and expensive drops that worked for a while, but the problem kept recurring. The zymox cleared it up in a few days, she quit digging at it, and allowed me to use it on her with no struggle. It was helping her feel better and was soothing the nagging itching. Great product, at least for this doggie and her poor ear!

Helped clear up infection in just a couple days

I purchased Zymox because of all the great reviews. So glad I did!! it works amazing! After a couple days of using this product on my pups ears the head shaking stopped, the redness was gone as well as the itching to the ears. Highly recommend. No more expensive vet visits when your pup has chronic ear infections.

This stuff works!!!! My beagle has ear issues with itching bad and the head shakes. I had her taken in to the vet and it was cleaned out with meds added and I left with $100 or more vet bill. My poor beagle had issues again months later so I looked on Amazon and found an ear flush that is amazing, but the issue wasn’t fully going away. I then found this product and gave it a try. No more vet visits this stuff cleared up her ear problems. It went from inflammation and dirty looking to a clear ear that is so clean and no issues. My sweet girl is so happy now. I highly recommend this product if your dog has itching, inflammation and the head shaking due to their ear bother them. I can’t believe how quickly and well this cleared my dog’s ear. It’s a heavier gel product too so it stays put. There’s also so much product to use. This will be a good thing to keep on hand instead of a vet visit for ear issues.

Wow! My dog had what I interpreted as excessive wax build up in his ear. He’s a feisty little guy and I could not get on top of it with mere cleaning and hair trimming. With a yeasty smell I turned to this product. The debris that came out of his ear was phenomenal, and now he is irritation free with a very clean ear canal. This product is highly recommended.

I haven’t had to go to the vet and pay hundreds of dollars for things to fix her ear infections since we got this stuff. I have a Chinese shar pei so it’s really common for them to get ear infections. This stuff is thick and doesn’t go everywhere, travels thru their ear and then you just wipe the excess. It’s great!

Excellent product as describe

Had tried numerous different ways & products to rectify my cat’s yeasty ears which was giving her great irritation. Came across Zymox as a suggestion, applied once a day for 7 days- Problem solved immediately after one weeks use.! Even now a few weeks later she is irritation free and her ears are clear of black debris. Highly recommended.

it does what it says cheap then going to vets
