"Our beagle has always had yeast problems in her ears, we find these wipes as an excellent alternative to using the harsher ear cleaning products more frequently. The aloe seems to take away the ting and stop the scratching. These work great!"

— Dogmom

"Product scent is similar to diaper wipes. Works okay in a quick pinch. Doesn't clean well."

Bottom Line

They are effective for certain ear issues, but the usability and durability issues should be addressed for a better user experience. They may have been discontinued.
