Description
xOverview
Ear care is a routine part of keeping dogs and cats comfortable. Virbac Epi-Otic Advanced Ear Cleanser combines a non-irritating, neutral-pH formula with gentle cleansing action. The inclusion of monosaccharides provides a soothing effect (anti-irritant) and helps limit the bonding of microorganisms to the skin’s surface. Its mild, low-pH design is intended to work without interfering with other ear products, while it helps remove cellular debris and excess wax and aids in drying the ear canal, so many pet parents notice a sense of fresh cleanliness after use.
