Otodex ear drops are made for treating dogs' ears. It is usually quite obvious when a dog has any kind of irritation inside its ear because it will scratch at the ear, or shake its head violently to try to ease the discomfort.

If your dog seems to have a serious ear problem, or has red, or runny ears it is usually best to see a vet before attempting treatment.

Otodex is designed for the gentle removal of ear wax which is usually visible as flakes, or small lumps of way inside the ear, particularly if your dog has been scratching at it. It also deals with ear mites which you will be able to see inside the dog's ear.

These look like tiny black dots and the itching will drive you dog crazy. A dog with ear mites will shake its head constantly.

These drops come in a plastic bottle which you squeeze to dispense the liquid inside. It is clear, colourless liquid and smells very strongly of eucalyptus.

Simply drop two drops of the liquid (one good squeeze of the bottle with give you this) in the dog's ear and massage behind the ear flap to give almost instant relief.

I used Otodex when my dog had ear mites. At first he object strongly to my putting the stuff in his ears but once he felt the relief he didn't seem to mind any more.


Now, if he has discomfort in his ears he is quite happy to let me put the drops in.

This costs around £2.99 from pet shops and is effective for ear mites and wax but care should be taken when applying medication to a dog's ears.

If you are not certain that the trouble is caused by ear mites, or wax, or the skin inside the ear is very sore, or broken, see a vet.

Summary: Good for wax and ear mite treatment of dogs
