Herbal ear wash formula

 

Herbal ear wash (8 oz)

Stinky itchy ears/ Floppy ears/ Frequent fungal infections/ Frequent swimmers

You will love our herbal ear wash for dogs and cats because it contains no chemicals, artificial preservatives, colors, fragrances or alcohol.  It smells divine and that’s because we use only organic essential oils and spring water. No alcohol or witch hazel which can both irritate sensitive ears. Completely biodegradable and safe for our planet, we feel our ear wash is simply the best choice for your cats and dogs. And we only use BPA free* bottles!

Your dog or cat (and the rest of your family, for that matter!) will love our herbal ear wash because it does not sting like other formulas which contain alcohol, witch hazel or chemicals which can sting already irritated ears. Best of all, it is extremely effective on chronic yeast, fungal and bacterial infections which return time after time.

We ship our ear wash with a flat lid and include a nozzle top for you to add when it arrives.

  • Alcohol-free herbal ear wash sourced from naturally sourced wild oils that soothe the area without aggravation, helping your pet stop scratching so the infection heals faster.
  • Naturally sourced wild essential oils form the base for the ear wash – no alcohol, no stinging ingredients (like Witch Hazel)
  • Clear non-staining
  • Anti-microbial and anti-bacterial
  • Safe enough to use every day!
  • Can help prevent for many common pet ear problems like waxy build-up and fungal infections
  • It’s safe for use on both cats and dogs.

*What is BPA? Bisphenol A is used as a primary monomer in polycarbonate plastic that can leach from plastic products. Environmental groups and scientific studies have suggested that BPA poses a potential human and animal health risk, as it has been shown to cause developmental toxicity, cancer-causing effects, and possible nerve toxicity.
