Otoclean - Ear cleanser for dogs and cats - 18 ampoules of 5 ml - ELANCO

Ear cleaner for dogs and cats: Otoclean ELANCO

Otoclean, ear cleanser for ear hygiene

Otoclean is an ear cleanser for dogs and cats designed for the hygiene of the external auditory canal. It gently cleans the ear and helps remove serous discharge as well as crusts. The product also respects the ear pinna and the auditory canal.

Are you looking for a solution to maintain your dog's or cat's ears? Otoclean meets a need for regular ear hygiene. It can notably be used when deposits accumulate in the canal.

ELANCO includes Otoclean in its otology range intended for dogs and cats. The laboratory distinguishes cleaning products from treatments intended for external otitis. Otoclean should therefore be regarded primarily as a hygiene product.

The pack contains 18 single-dose vials of 5 ml, i.e. 90 ml in total. The single-dose format allows the use of a new container for each new cleaning. ELANCO thus presents it as both a practical and hygienic format.

Composition and action of the ear cleanser Otoclean

The official ELANCO veterinary brochure notably highlights two components of Otoclean:

• Oleic acid
• Lactic acid

ELANCO attributes to this combination an emollient and moisturising activity. These properties accompany the cleansing action of the product while contributing to the comfort of the auditory canal.

The formulation also includes cleansing agents combined with natural plant extracts. These extracts enhance the action of the cleansing agents. They also help soothe ear irritation and support skin regeneration.

Thus, Otoclean acts along several complementary lines. It facilitates cleaning of the canal, clears the ear of serous discharge and crusts, then supports the comfort of the ear skin.

Another advantage lies in its packaging. Each box contains 18 independent containers. This avoids keeping a large, already opened bottle for several weeks. ELANCO precisely describes this presentation as hygienic and practical single-dose.

However, Otoclean should not be confused with an ear disinfectant. In the ELANCO range, the laboratory describes for example Surosolve as a cleanser combining a ceruminolytic and antiseptic action. This distinction is not claimed for Otoclean.

If in doubt, ask your veterinarian for advice.

Advantages of the ear cleanser Otoclean for dogs and cats

Otoclean brings together several interesting features for ear care:

• Cleaning of the auditory canal: it removes deposits present in the ear.
• Removal of serous discharge: the product helps clear the canal of accumulated secretions.
• Removal of crusts: its cleansing action facilitates their removal.
• Respect of the auditory canal: ELANCO indicates a gentle and thorough cleaning.
• Emollient action: oleic acid and lactic acid contribute to the comfort of the ear.
• Moisturising action: these same components are highlighted by the laboratory for this property.
• Skin comfort: plant extracts help soothe irritation.
• Support of the epidermis: they also contribute to its regeneration.
• Single-dose format: the 18 separate vials constitute a practical and hygienic presentation.
• Dual purpose: Otoclean is specially designed for dogs and cats.

Otoclean can also take part in ear hygiene prior to certain treatments prescribed for otitis. However, cleaning does not replace the treatment indicated by the veterinarian.

Otoclean: the essentials on this ear cleanser

Otoclean is an ear cleanser for dogs and cats developed by ELANCO. It cleans the auditory canal and facilitates the removal of serous discharge and crusts.

Its formula notably combines oleic acid and lactic acid. ELANCO highlights their emollient and moisturising activity. Plant extracts complement this action by promoting the comfort of the epidermis.

Finally, its 18 single doses of 5 ml differentiate Otoclean from cleansers offered in a large bottle. This packaging is a practical solution for maintaining good product hygiene between the different cleanings.

Frequently asked questions about ear cleaners

What is the best product for cleaning ears?

There is no universally best ear cleanser for all situations. The choice depends notably on the amount of earwax, the condition of the auditory canal and the possible presence of otitis.

Otoclean is designed for ear hygiene in dogs and cats. It cleans the canal and helps remove serous discharge and crusts. On the other hand, in the presence of pain, redness or abnormal discharge, a veterinary examination allows the cause to be identified before choosing the appropriate care.

What is the best disinfectant for my dog's ears?

Otoclean is an ear cleanser and not a disinfectant presented as such by ELANCO. This product should therefore not be chosen solely for its antiseptic action.

Ear cleansers have very different antimicrobial activities. A comparative study including Otoclean notably observed variable in vitro activity against Malassezia pachydermatis. The choice of an antiseptic therefore depends on the clinical situation and should be adapted with the veterinarian in case of otitis.

What is the best disinfectant for my cat's ears?

An ear disinfectant should not be chosen at random for a cat. A red, painful, foul-smelling ear or one with discharge can be linked to different causes. Simple cleaning does not allow a diagnosis to be established.

Otoclean is indeed intended for cats, but ELANCO classifies it among its ear cleansers. It is therefore suitable for ear hygiene, without being presented as an antiseptic treatment for otitis. In case of persistent symptoms, ask your veterinarian for advice.
