Buddycare Antibacterial Ear Drops for Pets – 200ml

Buddycare Antibacterial Ear Drops for Pets – 200ml

These are the antiseptic drops rather than the routine cleanser, and the difference is in the bottle: water, salt and hypochlorous acid at 150 parts per million, and nothing else at all. Hypochlorous acid is the same compound white blood cells produce, which is why it can be antibacterial and antifungal while still being safe if a pet licks it.

Buddycare list them for dogs and cats alike, and register them under the UK Biocidal Products Regulation and EU 528/2012 as a PT3 veterinary hygiene product. They are used twice daily on an irritated ear, or weekly as maintenance once it has settled.

Performance & Benefits

• Hypochlorous acid at 150ppm — antibacterial and antifungal, and safe if licked.
• Three ingredients in total: water, sodium chloride and the acid itself.
• No alcohol, no fragrance and no dye, so it does not sting a sore ear.
• Registered under the UK BPR and EU 528/2012 as a PT3 veterinary hygiene product.
• Suitable for cats as well as dogs, which most of the range is not.
• 200ml bottle.

Suitable For

• Dogs and cats with itchy, irritated or repeatedly dirty ears.
• Ears that flare up after swimming or bathing.
• Weekly maintenance once a problem has settled down.
• Households needing one bottle that covers both species.
• Not a replacement for veterinary treatment of an ear infection — if the ear is painful, swollen or discharging, see a vet first.

How to Use

• Apply liberally into the ear canal until liquid is visible.
• Massage the base of the ear for about thirty seconds.
• Let the pet shake its head, then wipe the outer ear clean.
• Use twice daily, or as often as your vet advises.
• Once settled, Buddycare suggest weekly use as maintenance.
• Keep out of reach of children and use biocides safely.
