Editor's Summary
I've been using Epi-Otic ear cleaner for dogs and cats, and it's been a total game-changer for our mischievous pup. He developed a nasty ear infection back in 2019, and it was a real mess - his ears were red, swollen, and smelled like a dumpster. We took him to the vet, and they prescribed some medicated drops, but also recommended Epi-Otic as a preventative measure. I was a bit skeptical at first, but the vet assured us it was worth the investment. So, we set out to find Epi-Otic, which wasn't easy - we had to drive all over town to get it! The 125ml bottle costs around 900 rubles, which is a pretty penny. But I'll get to that later. We've been using it for a while now, and I'm happy to report that it's been a lifesaver. My pup's ears are now clean and healthy, and we haven't had any issues since.
