Performance notes
The 0.2 percent chlorhexidine and 0.2 percent ketoconazole combination is formulated as an antiseptic and antifungal wash aimed at the yeasty odor and floppy ear issues named in the listing. The directions call for daily massage in application with an absorbent wipe down afterward, which fits a maintenance routine rather than a single deep clean.
What buyers say
With 3,383 reviews at 4.6 stars and about 6,000 units bought in the past month, this is one of the higher volume medicated washes in the ear care lineup, suggesting a large base of repeat buyers managing ongoing odor and yeast concerns.
What do chlorhexidine and ketoconazole do in this formula?
They are the two active ingredients Vetnique lists here, chlorhexidine as an antiseptic and ketoconazole as an antifungal, combined in a wash aimed at yeasty odor in dogs with floppy ears. This is not veterinary advice, and a diagnosed infection should be evaluated by a vet.
How often should I use it?
The directions say to apply daily or as directed by your veterinarian, massaging the base of the ear and wiping away excess solution with an absorbent material.
Is this safe for regular maintenance cleaning?
Because it contains active antiseptic and antifungal ingredients rather than being a plain cleanser, it is best used on your vet's guidance rather than as a daily all purpose wipe down.
