For routine ear maintenance and post-swim care this works well as a straightforward cleaner, but it isn't something to lean on for an actual infection without a vet's input.

Overview
Pet MD Otic Clean is a cucumber melon scented ear cleaner for dogs and cats, sold as an 8 oz liquid meant to be applied directly into the ear canal to clear excess wax and control ear odor.
The directions describe a routine cleaning protocol: apply into the canal, massage the base of the ear, let the pet shake its head, then wipe away the excess with cotton or cloth, with more frequent application recommended for heavily soiled ears. It's positioned for both maintenance cleaning and heavier use during an active issue, though no ingredient list or medicated actives are provided in this listing, so it should be treated as a cleaning product rather than a treatment.
- 8 fl oz bottle
- Cucumber melon scent
- For dogs and cats
- Recommended after swimming
Who it's for
Owners doing routine ear cleaning for dogs or cats, including after swimming when moisture buildup is a concern. Not a substitute for veterinary care if a pet shows signs of an active ear infection.

Performance notes
The directions call for applying it into the canal and massaging the base of the ear so the liquid works through before the pet shakes its head to loosen debris, followed by wiping away excess with cotton or cloth. For heavily soiled ears, Pet MD recommends applying two to three times daily over several days, while ongoing maintenance drops to once or twice weekly, including after swimming.
