Vetericyn packages it in a shake well dropper bottle with no manufacturer warranty listed.', 'Priced at $18.99 for 1.5 oz, this sits close to other specialty hydrocortisone ear drops. With 542 reviews at a 4.6 star average and roughly 2,000 units sold in the past month, it has one of the stronger track records among the ear care products in this set.']

Performance notes

The fill and massage method is meant to work the hydrocortisone and Otizyme blend directly into the ear canal rather than just cleaning the outer ear, and the label's seven day cadence points to this being a short, focused course rather than a long term daily product. Expect some head shaking right after application since the dog is working the liquid through the ear canal.

What buyers say

With 542 reviews averaging 4.6 stars and about 2,000 units bought in the past month, this product has a solid, active customer base and one of the higher review counts among the ear treatments in this lineup.

Is head shaking after application normal?

Yes, the manufacturer's directions note that head shaking after application is common as your dog works the solution through the ear canal.

Does this contain a steroid ingredient?
