ÖRON

Ear infections are common conditions in dogs, especially those with floppy ears such as Basset Hounds and Cocker Spaniels. Prevention is key so cleaning your dog’s ears at home can also help prevent ear infections — learn how to do it safely. For this purpose, we have created Öron - a unique formula with antifungal and antiseptic properties that combines cleaning and care for dog's and cat's ears.

• SEAWATER CONCENTRATE: rich in oligo elements, helps with the cleansing of the ear.
• TEA TREE ESSENTIAL OIL: powerful antiseptic, healing, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal.
• CAJEPUT ESSENTIAL OIL: antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-fungal, analgesic.
• NIAOULI ESSENTIAL OIL: analgesic, antiseptic, cicatrizant.

OTITIS (most common ear infection) IN DOGS AND CATS - CAUSES

• Inflammation of the ear canal;
• Bacteria;
• Yeast/fungus;
• Don't confuse this with ear parasites!

EXAMPLE OF DOG BREEDS MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO CANINE EAR INFECTIONS:

• Long, heavy, or “pendulous” ears (Spaniels, Cocker Spaniels): The ear flap covers the ear canal and promotes the development of germs in the ear.
• Long and narrow auditory canal (German Shepherd).
• Hairy-eared Breeds/ dogs with hairy external canals (Spaniels, Poodles, Bichons Frises): Long-haired breeds have more hair growing inside of their ear canals. This traps moisture and debris.
• Breeds where cerumen is abundant (Spaniels, Labradors, Springers).
• Breeds with a tortuous ear canal, full of folds (Shar Pei, Chow-chow).
• Cats are also prone to this infection (e.g. Persian cats).

PREVENTING OTITIS IN DOGS

• Routine ear cleaning may reduce chances of infection.
• Check your dog's ears weekly.
• A slight amount of waxy build-up may be normally present in the ears.
• If your dog swims a lot, has pendulous ears or a history of ear disease, routine cleaning (often once to three times per week) is recommended.
• Be warned, however, that too frequent and overly vigorous inner ear washes may be damaging to the ear canal.
• Your veterinarian will determine and advise you on proper care procedure for your dog.
• Please note: if your dog is showing severe discomfort, the ears have a bad smell, or the ear canals look very abnormal, you need to contact the veterinarian as soon as possible!

RECOMMENDED USE AND INSTRUCTIONS:

Do not apply the product into the ear canal in case of a ruptured ear drum!
