Worked within days to rid of ear infection/fungal problem. Will order again for backup when this one runs out.

This product works better than I ever thought possible. I was very sceptical (sp) about this product. All the reviews said how good it was but I couldnt imagine it being better than a prescription but boy was I wrong, IT WORKS GREAT! My labs ears were cleared up in about a week.

My dog has a chronic problem with yeast infections in his ears and the solution was a prescription that over time could cause deafness, or an expensive surgery that wasnt even guaranteed to work. After researching online vet sites, I read a testimony from a couple about Zymox. Zymox uses natural combinations of enyzmes that cure yeast infections, and with occasional applications, prevent subsequent yeast infections from materializing. You dont even have to clean your dogs ears before applying! My family is greatful not to have that horrid smell, and my dog isnt shaking his head incessantly. If you want to use an ear cleanser with Zymox, be sure to use the Zymox Ear Cleanser because it is formulated to work with the enzyme treatment, and others may actually negate the treatment. I selected the 1% hydrocortisone because my dog has very itchy ears, and the scratching leads to sores and secondary infections. Before opting for medications with potentially harmful side effects, or surgery to deal with yeast infections in your dogs ears, give Zymox a try.

I have tried many different products for my black lab chronic dirty ears. Zymox works and with the advice of my Vet--alternating twice a week with Zymox and then twice a week washing his ears out with dilluted distilled vinegar. Within a week I noticed 100 percent difference. Now we are just in the maintenance mode. No more painful ears, no more crying or whelping and no more itching and scratching at his ears. Get the one with the Hydrocortisone in it.

I had been using this product that the vet gave me. My dog was still scratching so I gave her a good dose of Zymax Optic in both ears. It cleared it up in two days. Im keeping this product handy as my dog has floppy ears and this has become cronic. I will catch it right away before her ears really become inflamned.

On the second bottle of this product (lasts a long time) Got basically the same product from my vet the first time my dog had itchy, inflamed, alergy bothered ears. Have since used Zymox Otic and it works like a charm (and for half the price)!

This product, Zymox otic, is an excellent product. My poodle occasionally gets a yeast infection in her ear. Ive taken her to the vet in the past and it gets pretty expensive. I thought Id give this product a try after seeing good reviews from others. I was prepared to return to the vet if this didnt do the job, however, within a week it was cleared up, just like the directions on the bottle said it would be. I highly recommend this product and will continue to use it when necessary.

I have a 5 year old German Sheperd who has had chronic ear infections for the past 4 years. I have spent thousands on vet bills and antibiotics. Not to mention several expensive hypoallergenic dog foods in case her infections were due to a food allergy. After reading all of the positive reviews about Zymox I figured what have I got to loose. I ordered a bottle and it arrived in 4 days. I began using it when I noticed my dog shaking her head (usually our first sign of an infection). I used once a day for 10 days. The head shaking stopped the second day and I cant remember the last time her ear looked this good. We now use it once a week to keep her infections at bay. I cant say enough how great this stuff is. I only wish I would have known about this 4 years ago.

Zymox Otic With 1.0% Hydrocortisone 1.25 Oz Bottle
My black lab loves to swim and suffers from a chronic ear infection, so keeping squishy, stinky ears at bay was nearly impossible. I have tried EVERYTHING, from vet prescriptions to an assortment of all natural remedies. I was scouring forums for advice on the matter and found an entry that recommended Zymox w/ glowing reviews, so I decided to give it a try. Within 3 days my dogs ears was clear of gunk and are stink free. His ears are no longer tender and he is a healthy happy little muffin!

One of my dogs had horrible ear allergies for many years. I cannot tell you how many trips to the vet, how many creams, pills, and cleansers, how many cotton swabs we went through. My old girl has passed away, but a friends dog has been going through similar misery--icky gunk in her ears, headshaking, incessant scratching. I looked on the Web to see if anything new was on the horizon since my sweetie passed on (in 2002), and I found Zymox reviews. Site after site, people were raving.
I am usually extremely skeptical of such effusive praise, but my friend was broke, and the stuff is cheap and, being enzymatic, appeared pretty harmless, so I bought some for her. (The only caveats I know of are to make sure that there is no perforation of the eardum and that ear mites are not the problem.) My friend applied it as directed, and wham! Infection gone! Took about two weeks. For the first time in many moons, she and her dog actually sleep through the night. She uses the Zymox cleanser for maintenance. Shes beyond thrilled. Im sure her dog is too!
 On: 2008-05-09
The product works very well. My dog was having ear pain and within a couple of days she stopped hurting and the infection cleared up within a week.

I brought my puppy to get spayed and when I got her back the next day she started fighting with her ears immediately. It took me a few days to realize that she had a yeast infection from whatever drugs the vet had given her during her spay. I was pretty upset by this considering that she has never had an ear infection before and she gets it at the vets office. I called them and told them what had happened and they said if I bought her in I would have to pay another $90 just for the exam plus all the associated fees. I had already spent several hundred dollars on her spay, and I really felt they should have allowed me to come in for a follow up. I decided to see if I could avoid going back to that terrible vet by cleaning out her ears with water and apple cider vinegar. It worked for one ear, but the other didnt seem to improve at all. I ordered Zymox after reading all the wonderful reviews here, once I got it her ears cleared up by the fourth day of treatment. This is a wonderful product that is easy to use and it doesnt seem painful unlike the vinegar/water solution I was using. I really prefer not to use antibiotics on my pets unless its very serious. Im very glad I found this product.

I read the rave reviews on this product but I was still surprised that it worked so effectively on my golden retrievers ear infection. Id say that it worked as fast as the drops from my vet. I recommend, especially for larger dogs (or dogs with chronic ear infections) buying 2 bottles.

My dog had a case of what I thought were ear mites that would not go away. After using several types of medications and researching the condition, I realized that it was an ear infection. The poor guy spent days on end scratching away at his ear. His ear was in bad shape - cuts and scrapes all around, redness, and inflammation - but after two doses of Zymox, I saw a huge improvement. After 48 hours I could see a very noticiable difference in the condition of his ear and the itching and shaking completely stopped. Not only did the Zymox clear up the the ear infection, but it also acted as a moisturizer/antibacterial to help clear up the cuts and soreness of the area. In less than 5 days, his ear was back to normal - clean, pink and infection free.
The product has a thicker consistency than the typical ear medication (kind of like an oil), so it is not runny. When you apply it and rub it in, it actually stays on the infected area. With other runny medications, my dog would just shake his head and pretty much shake out all of the medicine. With this product, that is not possible. I think my dog actually enjoyed the treatment. I think this stuff actually soothed the ear, instead of stinging like other watery medications.
I would recommend this product to anyone whos dog has an ear infection and does not have the extra $50-100 dollars to see a vet. It worked like a charm.
On: 2008-04-15
Wow! I received the product the next day....couldnt believe how fast they shipped. Used product on 2 dogs one with acute ear infection and one with chronic ear infection. Administered as described and both ear infections cleared up. The chronic was dosed for 2 weeks and the acute for one week. Neither dog has reinfected. Extremely satisfied as I had spent $100s at the vet and this is over the counter and most importantly it works!!!

Zymox Otic With 1.0% Hydrocortisone 1.25 Oz Bottle
We have five poodles, Standard, Miniature, and Toy, all with the same problem, chronic ear infections. Desperate and going broke over all the vet trips, we discovered Zymox Otic a year ago. We bought the 8 oz bottle because we have so many dogs. This stuff is magic!! It has completely cured all of our dogs. We now only have to use it once a week, just to clean out the ears and keep them infection free, and when they come from the groomers, which was always the start of a new infection before Zymox. Our vet wanted to know how we cured them and we told him about Zymox, he never heard of it. Now we tell everyone who has dogs, if the are prone to ear infections, get Zymox and save both your dogs and your money!!
P.S. It worked so well on the dogs that when my husband was up one night with an ear infection himself, he figured, why not? It fixed him right up!! (Im not saying people should use dog medicine, just saying my husband did and it worked).
On: 2008-04-06
how can this be so good and my vet not know about it? my GSD has been tormented since she was a pup with chonic ear itching, stink, muck, infections, etc. The vet was ready to (milk) have an allergist (people Dr) test her for allergies at $$$$! cost. I had already bought special food provided by him @ $$$$$! to no avail. I stumbled across this stuff while searching the web at another vets site, he reccommended it highly.
I tried it and within 3 days she was free of all of it! and now I just give her a dose about once every 2 weeks when she scratches at them a little. And shes back to good.
I just cant believe how easy it was after all that trouble we went through.
If you are teettering about trying this (which i cant imagine with all the other good reviews),save yourself some money & just do it. you will be pleased Im betting.
And a big shout out to zymox for making this stuff, but you really need to advertise so the general public can save some money! i know i would have saved several hundred dollars had I run across this. i dont think this stuff is even on the shelves of pet stores...why not?!
On: 2008-03-29
This is a great product. I used it on a yeast infection in my Weimaraners ears, and it cleared up in less than 10 days. Saved me alot of money at the veterinarian.

We have a large Leonberger dog which basically looks like a 160 pound Golden Retriever. He had terrible ear infections ever since he was a puppy and we were continuously going to the vet and spending up to $300 per visit for heavy duty antibiotics and ear drops. His ears would get a little better but the infection would always return worse than before. Our dog hated "pill pockets" so we had to wrestle him to get him to take his meds and he would run whenever he saw the ear drops bottle in our hands.
Exasperated with the continual pain our dog was in, we paid over $600 for Baytril pills and Baytril Otic. It was very expensive as our dog is huge and it required multiple bottles and pills because each dose was so large. Our vet told us this was the last chance of a cure before surgery would be required.
His ears cleared up a little bit but at the end of the round of antibiotics his ears were still red, scaly, inflamed and smelly.
We went ahead and took him back in and the vet recommended surgery.
In frustration I started surfing the net and found a review for Zymox. It sounded too good to be true but I figured we had nothing to lose. The Zymox was so cheap and I verified that the guy recommending it was a real vet.
The package arrived from Amazon. The Zymox looked a little like liquid soap and I started applying it every morning to his ears. I immediately noticed that the next day his ears looked less inflamed and did not smell. I took this as a good sign and kept treating the ears every morning. At the end of the week his ears were completely healthy and he was so much happier. I couldnt believe we had spent thousands of dollars trying to cure his ear infections and that a $10 bottle of Zymox had cleared it up in a week!
I am now a believer and hope that this review convinces someone else to try this wonderful product. We use it once a month to keep the ear infections from coming back and it has worked like a charm.

My dog was so miserable. He constantly dug at his ears I tried the stuff from the vet but it just didnt seem to work as good as Zymox and lets face it going to the vets repeatedly can get expensive. Thank goodness for this product! My dog holds his ears up now, they dont stink anymore and he isnt scratching them till they bleed anymore. My dog would literally cry from the pain and it made me want to cry. This product is heaven sent and has saved me yet another trip to the vet my dog and I would highly recommend this product it definitely works these reviews were unbelievable to me, so I had to find out for myself and thank goodness I took a chance on this product. I would not hesitate to recommend this product or purchase it again.
Just a WONDERFUL product again thanks to all of you who inspired me with your reviews to purchase Zymox and after using a product that Works it inspires you to add to the many wonderful reviews. I just want to add that I waited a month to write this review to be sure. My dog is still doing great still no smell it is great to know that there is a product that I can turn to that lives up to its claims and reviews again THANKS.

This stuff saved me alot of money at the vets office...Works great no more smelly ears and its only been four days using it.. My poor BOXER pup well lets just say you could smell the little guy a mile away. His ears WERE awful. Im so glad I tryed this stuff I think Ill buy the bigger bottle as soon as I get the extra money. Its hard to believe this stuff work so good BUT it does. Hes not crying about his ears or scratching at them anymore. My little guy is so happy now and smells better too...Thanks a millon ZYMOX!!

Zymox is a great otc product for ear infection. I tried all sorts of things including products from the vet and nothing worked. I will definitely be buying this product again. And shipping was super fast!!

Our six year old Lab has suffered for her entire life with ear infections.
Spent loads of cash at the vets and NEVER getting rid of her infections.
We have used this product for over 2 weeks and we notice a vast improvement.
Ordering another bottle today, as her ears were so badly infected her treatments will take longer than most and dont want to run out.
Watch this page for an update in the future because we think we finally found relief.

Just as touted (by a vet on the Internet), this ear medicine cleared up my dogs ears in less than a week. Due to allergies, his ears sometimes get really yucky with black stuff. The ointment the vet gave me did not work, but this stuff did! Im never going to be without it. Zymox Otic With 1.0% Hydrocortisone 1.25 Oz Bottle

Our 3yr old lab mix has suffered with ear problems constantly. I have taken him to the vet 6 times ($25 to $60 per visit) and nothing ever completely cleared his ears. I discovered Zymox on the web after some searching and wanted to try it after reading the positive reviews. I used it twice a day for 2 weeks. After about a week he quit shaking his head and crying when I touched his ears. Now, 2 months later, he is like a different dog. His head shaking has stopped and he is playing with the other dogs where before he would mostly stay in the house to himself. I am putting the Zymox in his ears once a week to see if it keeps the problems from returning and so far its working. This is a very good product & many thanks to whomever discovered it.

My golden had really bad black stinky ears. I would clean them out and it would be just as bad the next day. I treated her with an ear mite treatment but it didnt do anything, I noticed there was some wet brown stuff in there as well. I did some research and found it was a yeast infection. I ordered Zymox and it works so well! My dog feels so much better, its so soothing for her itchy ears.

My beagle has had chronic ear (yeast) infections for more than 6 years. The vet used to always prescribe antibiotics, which would work well but the infections would always return after a few months. Late last year the vet gave us zymox, which worked as well as the antibiotics (better, actually, since the separate cleaning step isn;t required); I was very please to see that its available without a prescription to treat the occasional flare-ups.
On: 2008-02-06
I saw a recomendation for this on a website saying it helped dogs with chronic ear infections. I have treated my dogs with numerous meds prescribed by my vet. This last infection I had been treating for a month with our regular medication. I finally decided to try something new. In two days this med started clearing up both dogs infections! I would definately recommend it especially if you have had trouble with chronic infections. I am delighted and my dogs are much more comfortable!
On: 2008-01-24
Any time my dogs ears start getting red or get infected I use this product and it always works! You save tons of money on vet bills! It really works if you use it as directed and very safe!
On: 2008-01-22
There are quite a few reviews and testimonials for this product already. Suffice it to say that it really does work exactly as advertised.
Ive been using this product on my dog whos allergic to all sorts of everyday things and was once described by an allergy specialist as having the worst case of pruritis hed ever seen. My dog stopped scratching his ears with the first dose (the hydrocortisone is great for that), and his ears were clean and healthy-looking within a couple of days. I only use it when necessary, and it clears up problems right away. Great stuff.

We adopted an older cat from PetSmart and noticed she had terrible brown gunk inside her ear flaps and in the ear canal. Our vet checked her, said it wasnt ear mites, and he thought it was a chronic allergy. He gave us drops to use, which did absolutely nothing even though we used them for four weeks. We tried gently swabbing her ears, and it was tortuous to both her and us. She was so itchy that she had raw, bloody spots scratched around her face. I decided to do an online search to see if anyone else had success in healing this problem. On a vets webpage, I read about his success using Zymox in what sounded like similar cases. Then I read the Amazon reviews of others who had used Zymox Otic on their dogs. I thought it couldnt hurt trying ... Weve been using Zymox drops since Jan. 1st. At first, we didnt see much difference. But this week (1-17-08) I examined her ears closely, and there is no brown gooey gunk visible in the ear flap or in the visible ear canal! She doesnt enjoy the ear drop process, but its working. I am so thankful we found this product!

If you have a dog that has frequent ear infections from yeast, this stuff is great for getting rid of the infection...very easy to use and works quickly.
On: 2008-01-07
Our lab had ear infection problems for the last few years and the constant scratching and tilting of his head. We had tried several products and still no relief. There was a major improvement after just one application and we were so excited. You can see the relief in our dog and he doesnt scratch nor act like he is in pain ANYMORE. Thank you so much, you have a customer for life!!!!!!! Our dog is out of his misery and so are we.

Product works great and this price is the best on the internet. Would definitely recommend.

My young labradoodle had a ear yeast infection for around 8 months. After two visits to the vet at $100 each plus buying antibiotics that were ineffective - I turned to the internet for answers.
First try was an "all natural" product with tea tree, clove oil, etc that made my dog miserable. I was about to give up when I came across a web site mentioning this. The blog actually mentioned the man trying it on himself first. In addition the hydrocortisone actually makes sense in easing my dogs itching. Now he is is free and clear of the infection. I occasionally use the wash to clean his ears if there is any sign of it returning. Highly recommend!

I had used an expensive ear treatment from the vet for my dogs yeast infection, which just didnt seem to cure the problem completely. Zymox Otic worked quickly and the infection has not returned. I would definitely recommend this treatment.
On: 2008-01-02
My vet prescibed this for my dog and it works great. He said hes had a lot of sucess with it in treating ear infections due to yeast.
On: 2007-12-28
This product is amazing! I have 2 little shih tzus and they have always had ear problems. The vet doesnt like to give me a prescription even though she knows their history, without me coming in for an office visit every time... Thank God a friend of mine introduced me to Zymox. I used it on both of my dogs and within 2 days their ears did not have an odor, AND they stopped itching... I used it for about 10 days, and have not had to use it again yet. I have recommended this product to all of my friends with dogs that have ear problems! I also received my order within 2 days of ordering! Excellent service - thanks so much!!

This product is amazing. My 6-year old golden retriever has suffered from chronic ear infections (psuedomonas) for nearly two years now. Weve been to the vet nearly every month trying to find a solution for the problem. And we finally got to the point where the only medication that would cure his infection was hospital grade SSD solution, which ended up only being a temporary fix. Once wed clear up an infection, a month later wed be back at the vet with another psuedomonas infection. Weve been frustrated with the nearly $200/month vet bills for ear checks and medications, and yet we were being told the only other solution was to put him through a $1200 ear resection surgery. In no way did we want to subject our pet to surgery unless we absolutely had to. I decided to research ear resection surgery and psuedomonas and came upon a blog about Zymox. I was skeptical at first, but after reading so many positive reviews on several Web sites, including Amazon and 1-800 Pet Meds, I decided to give it a try. Im so glad we did. Weve followed the directions precisely for a chronic infection and Im thrilled to find that after 10 days on the Zymox, he now has a healthy pink ear. No more gross black gunk in the ear to clean out! Ive just ordered more to keep on hand for twice weekly maintenance! I highly recommend this product!

I used to spend countless amounts of dollars on vet bills and medicine every few months for my Labs ear infections. Now I only use the Zymox Otic. I tried it based on some online investigating i did to get more knowledgeable about dog ear infections. It is the only thing I will use now because it does work. It clears it up fast and without a whole lot of effort and expense on my part. It is so much more affordable than the costly medicines the vet would subscribe (let alone the office visit expense just for showing up). Trying to get my 90 lb. big dog into my car to the vet for the same thing every few months was a big chore and messy, let alone the long wait in the waiting area. Now I buy the medicine online- a few at a time. This allow me to have extras on hand for immediate relief for my dog when the infections begin to crop up again. This is a blessing for both of us. I relax now over the process instead of dreading the painful ordeal we both used to have to go through. I am glad I learned of this product.

I had received this previously from our Vet so I knew that it would work. The vets cost was much more than I could it on here. We have a golden retreiver who has one ear that gets all irratiated, itchy and sore and this medicine works within a few days...but we have to use it for approx. 2 weeks to make sure it doesnt come right back.

We have a springer spaniel that has had ear infections for 3 years. Nothing seemed to work. We had a horrible wax build up on the dogs ears that we could not get rid of no matter what we used. The smell was unbearable. The vet would give us pain pills and steroids just to be able to clean his ears. We read a review of zymox and thought hey, last resort. In one week his ears were in great shape. His eyes were even affected by his ear problems. His eyes are perfectly clear. This dog is back to himself finally. He is back sleeping on the bed with our son. This stuff is a miracle!!!!!!
On: 2007-12-02
Months of frustration are finally over. Our dogs ear problems keep returning the minute we stopped many different treatments. Had this product recommend by our dog groomer and we used it for 10 days and no problems have come back. Well worth every penny.

My little flop-eared dog had chronic ear infections. I had to take her to the vet too much. I cannot afford that sort of thing, so I look all over the internet for a home remedy. Some kind soul on yahoo answers told me about Zymox Otic. I look it up and buy it. I administer the liquid to my dogs ears as per label instructions, and in two days, problem already gone. Such a relief! And my little dog feels so much better now. I will be buying some for a relative for X-mas. She has a flop-eared dog which has ear infections sometimes as well.
I am so thankful for this product!

This product is an excellent alternative to conventional medicine that will cost YOU hundreds of dollars and your PET horrible side effects.
Zymox has hydrocortixome (1%) to take down the swelling and relax the itching for your pet. Also has bacterial and yeast fighting minerals.
Our 4yr old Weimeraner is highly allergic to lots of products, but this does great for him!
GOOD LUCK

ZYMOX has worked so well for both my cats and dog that I no longer waste my money at the vet for little or short term results. This works fast and is less stressful to the pet to have to go to a vet and be terrified and the owner to be shocked at how much it costs when you can do this treatment in your own home. One bottle lasts for months & months.
On: 2007-10-23
I have used several other ear medications in my dogs ears, & I feel the Zymox has worked the best.

I have 2 Great Danes and over the summer we had a couple weeks of non-stop rain, which created alot of moisture to build up in my dogs ears. They were itching and shaking their heads so much they were creating sores. I had some Zymox left over from the Vet, but no where near enough to treat my dogs for 10 days each. So I found a seller on Amazon ordered 2 bottles and saved myself a ton in Vet bills. I would recommend this product to anyone whos dog is experiencing itchy irratated ears.
On: 2007-09-21
My Shi Tzu gets a red ear every summer that makes her scratch. I use zymox Otic for about 10 days and it completely gets rid of the conditiion. I love it and saves a trip to the vets which would cost a lot more.

My dog had a chronic ear infection for months. Everything I tried would relieve him for a day. I went online and researched and come across this product. I saw the reviews and thought it wouldnt hurt to try it. When I used it on my dog the itching, shaking, and smell stopped with in one day. I was so surprised and grateful that my dog was no longer miserable. I think Zymox with Hydrocortisone is the best product for chronic ear infections in dogs. It is the best. Finally relief!!! Thank You!!!
On: 2007-08-28
Whew!!!We took our lab several times to the vet for treatment of ear infection, and he still shook his head all the time, and his ears stayed red and irritated. You could not look at this dog when he wasnt shaking his head and flapping his ears. The prescriptions from the vet helped a little, but within a week after medicines and treatment, he was back to the same. I found this on the web, and though skeptical, I had to try something -- this really, really works, and I took the empty bottle to the vet. I have complete faith in my vet, and was not trying to be smart -- I know he wants what is best for animals, and hopefully, he will try this. Our lab does not shake his head anymore. I used the Zymox everyday for 14 days and then every other day, and now every 3rd or 4th day.

This has actually worked on my pugs ears - I did not think anything would ever clear up her ears!!! :)

My poodle had infections in his ear for years. I cleaned them constantly and even brought him to the vet. The Vet gave him ear drops which helped but, as soon as I ran out the infection was back. I read about Zymox and was skeptical, but I tried it and the results were terrific. The infection is gone and I still have a lot left. This is a wonder drug I highly recommend.

Our Black Lab/Weimaraner mixed-breed has those floppy ears; and in our humid, east-Houston weather, she has gotten chronic yeast infections in her ears. Before using Zymox Otic, she had been scratching at her ears every day, all the time. After using the product for 14 consecutive days, she has virtually no scratching. We have followed up with the Zymox cleanser, using it once a week. She seems much better now!

My Newfoundland dog had a brownish black gunk in her ear. I thought it was mites and treated her for that but it persisted and smelled terrible. She would smell bad even after a bath from the groomer. I started reading about possible problems and found Zymox Otic for a solution. I ordered it, tried it on my dog and three days later she finally has "pink", fresh smelling ears with no more gunk! I also used the Zymox ear rinse that is compatible with the Otic solution. All floppy ear dogs can get bad ear syndrome caused by yeast and/or bacteria. This stuff works great and costs so little compared to endless vet trips. I use a baby wet wipe to wipe out her ears before an application. I highly recommend this product! It made a believer out of me.

My dog Sukie constantly gets terrible black/brown gunk in her ears that smells horrid! No matter how much ear cleanser I use it really never goes away.
To put it simple, Zymox really does work and Sukie is for ever grateful. Thanks for selling such a great product. Its been a life saver for her and a room deodorizer for me!
THANKS ZYMOX!!!!!!!

My pug has been having yeast infections in his ears for a long time. We didnt have a method of prevention, just a way to fight it when it flared up.
The solution from the vet was a $30 bottle of triotic, which is even smaller than the bottle of Zymox. And actually, my dog actually prefers the Zymox, as it doesnt make a suction noise like the triotic bottle does.
This stuff works great--doesnt require a trip to the vet for a refill and is WAY cheaper! Buy it! You wont regret it.

For 2 years since our lab was a puppy we have battled chronic ear infections with numerous trips to the vet, expensive allergy food and supplements with limited or temporary results. After 14 days daily use with Zymox, our dogs ears are totally clear with no signs of redness. All the debris that was filling her ears is gone. Why didnt our vet recommend this product....I guess less than $15 for a total cure might cut into repeat business. We found out about Zymxox at a helpful web site. Paste the quoted text following into your search engine and you should be able to find it too. "Treating Ear Problems in Cats, Dogs, and Other Pets"

Today is the 14th and final day of using this product on my dog that has has had a chronic ear infection-type problem. It seems to have even allowed my dog to hear better!

Ive tried so many ear cleaners on my Pug which never yielded any results. Ive been using this religiously for a month and finally see signs of improvement with her ears. This product is not watery and is just the right consistency to put in her ears. It clings to the ear canal and doesnt shake out when she shakes her head. I know shes more comfortable and am happy to give this product an excellent review.

This is an affordable good medication. I had taken my dog to the vet and spent a 100.00 dollars on an ear infection. NOT again. I will be using Zymox in the future.
On: 2007-03-26
My dog has had chronic ear infections all of his life. Daily cleaning and antibiotics never seemed to clear up the problem. After three days of Zymox my dog stopped shaking his head and his ears were no longer red and smelly. I definitely recommend this product for problem ears.

This product worked on my Rots (Lola) ear infection like no other. Lola got water in her ear when she was getting a bath, one day later, her head smelled stinky and was constantly shaking her head and would not let us rub her ear. On close inspection, I realized that the smell was coming from her right ear and thats when I looked online and found several homemade remedies, vinegar and water, peroxide, nothing would work. In fact the irritation got worse. Then I ordered Zymox Otic and I swear, a day later the smell was gone and by the fifth day of applying the eardrops 2 times a day, the irritation was completely gone and we still have half of the bottle left.

I had used 2 prescriptions from the vet on my dogs ears when I read the reviews on this site and decided to try this. This WORKS. One bottle and the ears are great and we have not had problems since. Cant believe the vet didnt give us this first.

I have 2 shih tzus and they are prone to ear infections, and as pet owners know, not all ear infections are the same and so we are always getting different meds with every vet visit. I follow the directions as always, using the meds for 7-10 days straight, etc, and the infections clear up.
But they keep coming back! The head shaking, the scratching and the smell, another ear infection! I was frustrated with going to the vet again and so I started surfing the web and found a vet had recommended Zymox. Did my search and looked at the reviews on Amazon. Decided, ok, why not? $11 a bottle and if it works, great, if not, no big deal, just another trip to the vet for another $100 visit.
Put the product in both dogs for a week. About the 3-4th day, the infections were gone. No more smelly ears, no more nasty brown discharge, and their ears were both clean. I was so impressed.
This doesnt take away from vet visits when they really do need to go but for an ear infection, and if you have many of them and know what they are, try this out.

After many vet visits and antibiotics and suffering, we have finally found THE cure for our dogs itching! I cant believe after three years of suffering, we finally have it, and it only took a few drops. What an amazing product. The spray is great too. We were always told that our dog had mange and needed skin scrapes and dips. Now we know the truth. Zymox is amazing! Our Jack is happy and healthy and doing great!

My Cocker Spaniel would get repeated ear infections cause of his floppy ears,I would take him to the vet and spend hundreds of dollars and the ear infection would keep returning!! I bought Zymox for less than 20.00 and in 4 days his ear was cured,MIRACLE PRODUCT!!

WoW! I do wish I had known about this product sooner. It is wonderful!!! After trips to the vet, my labradoodle had a yeast in his ears. They did a culture, prescribed an ear ointment and it never went away. I went back again only to have the same procedure followed with no results. I ordered this Zymox Otic after reading the reviews and some information online. I am so VERY glad I did. Praise God, it worked!!!! Its so much cheaper than dragging my dog to the vet only to have the treatment fail. No more of the head shaking, strong odor from the ears, scratching, dark brown discharge. Thank you so much for this product.

My lhasa has had a chronic ear fungus problem for years, numerous trips to the vet with repeat prescriptions of otomax have done nothing to bring this under control. I used this product once a day for a week and now once a week. This product worked.

My black lab has had ear infections since birth. She is now 3 years old. The vet tried several different antibotics and ear washes and we have tried stuff ourselves and just nothing...this winter she got worst and I cant stand to see her in pain and ears low and shaking her head. So I did some on line research and seen that this zymox otic had great reviews, so I ordered it. She is on day 3 now and what a HUGE difference I have seen in her already!! I highyly recommend this. Sure does save on the wallet with the VET BILLS!!! Joanne owner of Bailee Boo

After doing much research and deciding to go with the Zymox instead of the old standard - Otomax - I am happy to report the results were fantastic. Within a day of starting treatment, Max (our Rotti) stopped shaking his head and pawing at his ear. After just a few days, there seems to be no signs of infection left at all. Thanks!

I have 3 dogs. They all have had their share of ears infections that always made for a trip to the vet at the cost of $95 plus the cost of $28 for an anti-biotic ointment for the ear. My one dog is a Coon Hound/Lab mix and had to actually have an $800 operation on his ear because the infection in his ear would not clear up. Even though we do all the ear maintenance as prescribed to prevent ear infections, this dog usually has at least 6 ear infections per year and the vet costs for each infection. We are not wealthy people. I bought Zymox Otic with 1% hydrocortisone for the first time in October because it looked like the one dog was going to need the other ear operated on and we did not have the money. I cannot tell you that I was totally shocked when his ear cleared up within 2 days using Zymox. I know my vet would never use Zymox or recommend it because he would probably go bankrupt. He used to be a great vet who really cared but them he stopped caring and started looking at his practice as a business so I know he would find something negative to say. There were absolutely no side effects from Zymox I am so happy that I found this stuff. Try it if your dog has any problems with ear infections. You will be pleasantly surprised.

A++ product! My golden retriever would constantly get yeast infections in his ears. Going to the vet and buying RX meds put a dent in my wallet. I began seeing results w/ this product in only 2 days with only using this product once a day. His ear instantly lessened in redness and discharge. Not to mention, that nasty smell disappeared. Highly recommended for yeast ear infections!!
On: 2006-12-14
My labradors ears are highly prone to infection. I try to "nip it in the bud", but often the infection gets out of control and I must resort to antibiotics. Vet bills mount. Meanwhile the poor dog suffers.
I read about Zymox and was skeptical but decided it couldnt hurt to give it a try. To my amazement, it worked! Barely one week after a bloody mess of an ear, he is completely better. I think Zymox is FASTER than antibiotics! Great product.

I have ten dogs and eleven cats plus I volunteer at a local rescue group, and I always keep a couple of bottles in my medicine chest. Two of my dogs use it all the time: a golden retriever with allergies and a cocker spaniel with chronic ear infections due to severe neglect in his previous life. Zymox with hydrocortisone has an enzyme that promotes natural healing plus the hydrocortisone takes the itch away so they dont scratch themselves raw thus prolonging/enlarging the infection. I also use it on the ocassional yeast or bacterial infection (you dont even have to guess what kind because it works for both), twice a day for a couple of weeks takes care of it without having to pay a vets examination fee.

My dog had ear problems for years and finally came across this product. Cleared it up in one week, with only a couple of applications. Id highly recommend it to anyone who has a dog with chronic ear problems.

My chihuahua has had chronic ear problems since he was a little puppy. Im not a fan of the antibiotic ointments that vets prescribe because they contain medication he doesnt need for his yeast problems. Ive tried all sorts of natural ear cleansers to no avail. I found this product highly recommended by an online vet site so I thought Id give it a shot. Within 2 days his ears looked perfect...no scratching or shaking either. Its been 3 weeks since I last put in the drops and I havent had to worry about them since. I honestly cant believe how well this solution works. Im so happy my little guy isnt feeling miserable with his ears anymore. :)

used vets RX to treat my dogs ear and it didnt seem to work. After reading reviews I decided to try this . After only 1 week I noticed a considerable amount of change in her ears for the better. would recommend to others!
On: 2006-07-26
My golden retriever has had ear infections since she was 8 weeks old. Over the years we have tried allergy shots, dietary changes, and prescription ointments - all costing a fortune. We tried Zymox and it is absolutely fantastic. Her ear infections clear within a few days of treatment. The itching and head shaking stop immediately after application, and if I treat her ears once or twice a week after an infection clears, I can keep her clear. This stuff is great and at 1/2 the price of prescription and no vet charges, Im happy to keep it on hand.

My beagles have chronic ear infections and I was spending hundreds of dollars per year to keep them in check - doctor visits in order to get the prescribed (and expensive) mal-otic. Zymox Otic has solved the problem, keeping their ears nice and clear and clearing up the infections they had when I started it. Be sure to use it daily at first if they have an infection.
On: 2006-07-19
irecently purchased a bottle of zymox with hydrocortisone for my lab who has had several really bad ear infections i was spending a fortune at the vets office.i searched the web until i read about this product.i decided to give it a try.im sooooo glad i did.this works !her ears are clear ,she is happy again.i will keep buying this product.thank you zymox.

This product saves me money on expensive vet bills because it works better than treatments I had received there. Zymox takes about a week to work, with one or two treatments a day. It has had the same effect for my sisters dog who had had recurrent ear infections. I have also used the spray for skin infections with the same rate of success.

My 10 yr old Cocker Spaniel has had cronic ear infections for 4 yrs. She has developed a resistance towards most antibiotics and steroids and all antibiotics make her stomach sour. Some antibiotics even make her ears worse! Nothing works completely, but Zymox seems to give her a reasonable comfort zone. Without Zymox, expensive total ear canal ablation surgery would be her only option. After expensive TPLO surgery and 4 years of ear infections, my finances have been exhausted. Zymox has given me better results than the vet, saves $150 a month vs the vet, and is well worth the daily ear cleaning and drops.

I read about Zymox on a vets website regarding chronic ear infections. My black Lab is a rescue from the street and she had chronic ear infections when I found her. The usual story of rounds of antibiotics, including expensive Baytril, without resolution of her problem. Its been almost a month now and her ears are improving. I find that I cannot skip a day or the gooey black gunk recurs, but if done daily she has little goo. I plan on continuing every day and I hope we can clear her ears up before swimming season returns. Zymox has certainly been an improvement over antibiotics.

My little mixed breed (Yorkie-poo)unfortunately inherited the skin problems poodles often present with - along with chronic ear infections. With great frustration, I have been through the expensive vet prescribed sprays and shampoos for my dog to experience only temporary relief. Not only are Zymox products cheaper than the vet Rx, but they are convenient to obtain (as they are delivered to my front door) and EFFECTIVE! Life is much easier now as we both sleep better without the itching and chewing (she would chew her paws until they would bleed!). Bless the intelligent soul who invented this wonderful product and making it readily available to frustrated pet owners!

I had high hopes that this product would work for my dog, but thought it was too good to be true. Im a believer now!!! My black lab has suffered with chronic ear infections his whole life. Hes a lab, so its hard to keep him out of the water, even in winter, so keeping his ears dry is always a problem. We had always tried to avoid the ear infections by drying the outside ear area and squirting a vinegar and water solution in the ears after swimming, but it usually didnt work.
After our vacation to the lake last summer, the ear infections came back. We went to the vet, and $200. later we had our usual meds and ear drops. My dog has been through this so much that he doesnt like anyone to even touch his ears, especially not me. He knows whats coming when I have the towel and stuff and I sit at the table and call him over. Well, it just didnt work. We were back at square one shortly after completing the round of meds. He gets a terrible smell from his ears when they are infected and he shakes his head a lot, expecially when he barks. He also scratches at his ears causing sores around the head and on the ears.
Finally I did some research online and found ZYMOX. It sounded really good and it had some good reviews on AMAZON. I bought two bottles and as soon as it arrived began using it. On one vets website he recommended it be used 4 times a day for 1 to 2 weeks, so thats what I did. Within a week, his ears didnt smell anymore, the head shaking stopped, the itching stopped and now after he barks he doesnt shake his head.
Its been about 3 weeks since the round of ZYMOX (I did get the hydrocortizone solution) and his ears are still infection free, no smell, no discharge from the ears. He seems to be SO much happier and its funny but I think he can hear much better. He used to bark at any little sounds he heard and now, he doesnt do that. He doesnt mind me touching his ears either.
I love this product and will definately keep it around. It will go with us on vacation back to that lake this summer.

I first tried the Zymox without hydrocortisone. That didnt really seem to clear up my dogs infection completely. This product worked alot better. The hydrocortisone took away the itch, and thus kept my dog from scratching her ears, which let them heal faster! I highly recommend Zymox. Its so much more affordable than those expensive antibiotics from the vet, and more effective as well.

I am on day 9 of my dogs ear treatment.
I am thrilled to have my old dog back!
After day two or three, our 8-year-old yellow lab-mix dog was back to her old self. Shes had chronic ear infections since she was about a year old. Weve tried so many drugs and treatments for her, but none worked longer than a week or so after the treatment was over. When the infection returned, we had to go back for more drugs from the vet. the over the counter ear cleaners didnt help.
The antibiotics were hard on her system, the steroids turned her into a zombie and were hard on her system, the ear cleaners were usually pretty foul-smelling and would irritate her already irritated ears-plus they didnt work very well.
And ALL THE ABOVE INEFFECTIVE TREATMENTS/DRUGS WERE EXPENSIVE!
We tried Zymox after reading reviews on the internet, and Im very pleased so far. Zymox is made from 3 natural antimicrobial (antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial) enzymes. Microbes dont build up resistance to these enzymes like they do with antibiotic and antifungal drugs.
I would buy at least 2 containers, because one container will only last about a week of daily use, and treating active infections takes a daily dose for a week (or two weeks for a chronic ear problem).
You cant use any other treatment in the dogs/cats ears when you use this as the other treatment may counter the enzymes in Zymox. Maybe that would account for some folks not having success with this product?
I highly recommend Zymox! Id also recommend you get the Zymox with hydrocortisine, to help keep your pets ears from itching while theyre healing.

My lab had chronic ear problems for the past six years. I tried every product and diet and nothing helped until I tried Zymox. After a week, my dogs ears were better.
