- Contraindications: Do not use on animals under 12 weeks old. Avoid contact with the pet’s eyes.
- Infection Warning: This product is intended for mild mite infestations (indicated by head shaking, minor scratching, or dark waxy debris). It is not suitable for severe ear infections. If your pet has a strong-smelling discharge, severe pain, swelling, or a head tilt, consult a vet immediately.
How to Administer
- Warm the Bottle: Hold the bottle in your hand for a few minutes to bring it to body temperature.

-
- Cats & Very Small Dogs: 3 drops.
- Small Dogs: 4 drops.
- Medium Dogs: 5 drops.
- Large Dogs: 6 drops.
-
- Massage: Hold your pet’s head to the side for 15–20 seconds. Massage the base of the ear gently to let the liquid penetrate before letting them shake their head.
- Schedule: Repeat daily for 7 consecutive days. Always treat both ears, even if only one seems infected. A second 7-day course can be applied one week later to ensure any newly hatched mite eggs are destroyed
