Highlighted Reviews
"I have a cocker spaniel pup who was itching her ears a lot. The ears gave no signs of problems during cleaning, but just as a preventative we bought and use this to ensure she didn’t have an issue. It leaves the pup smelling really amazing. That was an unanticipated positive side effect."
"We tried to get this product two different times. Each time the bottle received was outdated prior to arrival."
Bottom Line
It's a reliable ear cleanser with high functionality, but consider the varied opinions on smell before purchasing. If you have a preference for scent, there are no side effect.
