PurOtic Dog Ear Cleaner and Ear Dryer

All-Natural Ear Cleaning Solution

Purotic was another core product inspired by our good old boy, Maximus. He lived to the ripe old age of 16 and as a black lab, that's a long time. Matt did his best to keep Maximus healthy and as he aged he kept having more and more issues. Not only did he survive and beat nasal cancer twice, his first ailment really happened with his ears. He was a beach dog and loved the ocean. He would bring his ball up to you and beg you to throw it into the water. But this dog wanted his ball thrown past the waves and we always believed it was because he wanted to catch the waves back in after he got his ball. This was a fun time for him but over the years he did develop serious ear issues from all the water. It got to a point where surgery was very close and very expensive. Dave and Matt being the researchers they are decided to look for an alternative natural solution. This is where Purotic was created.

Dave and Matt are both scientists by trade, a biochemist and an engineer, so both minds went to work when it came to this product. There are really 2 parts to this product that make it unlike any other product on the market. Dave figured out that they needed a safe way to unblock ears and Matt knew they needed to be able to get the medication deep into a dog's ear canal.

Safe Emulsifier to break up blockages

When the Innovet team decided to research into an all-natural ear cleaner for dogs, Dave had been preparing to become a doctor. He was already working in a hospital and knew about a complete safe emulsifier they used in babies ears called docusate sodium. This was known to be a very safe product to put in small children and infants to break up ear wax and blockages. He decided to research and see how safe it could be for dog's ears and found out that it was 100% safe. From there the development phase of the product was fairly easy. He decided to blend natural anti-fungal and anti-bacterial agents he knows to be safe for the ear canal and that is where our botanical blend came about. Each herbal oil had it's own anti-inflammatory properties and combined with the emulsifier, it was a formula that could not lose. In fact, this formula actually saved Maximus from surgery and in turn , saved his hearing.

Patented Application Tip designed specifically for Dog's Ear Canal

On the other side of the coin with this Product, Matt being the engineer that he is, was really not satisfied with the application of the medication for the dog ear. One thing lost in the translation is the shape of the ear canal of a dog versus a human. For us, it's a straight shot to the canal but for dogs you're dealing with a much different structure. The ear canal is shaped in and then goes down and inside their head a little deeper. With many of the ear cleaning solutions for dogs on the market , a lot of the medication doesn't even make it's way down to the canal and will just drip on the the fur outside of your dog's ear. It's an unfortunate waste of money at that point and your dog never really gets better from that treatment.

So Matt went to work on designing an applicator that would effectively deliver the ear cleaning solution to the ear canal of a dog but also would be gentle enough with the internal structure of the ear. He needed to design a soft tip that would not injure the ear structure but would also not deliver a hard shot directly to the ear drum as that area can be very sensitive. Being that dogs rely on their strong sense of hearing , he didn't want to compromise this sense. After much research and development, Matt decided to use an aspect of his previous invention, the feeding syringe. Without going into a long story, Matt designed an application tip based on his soft feeding syringe for birds and animals with limited eating capacity and used that design to create a safe and effective tip for the Purotic ear cleaning solution for dogs. This tip has proven to be the most effective delivery system for ear medication for the last 15 years and has a patent on it so no other company may use this without our permission to do so.

A Winning Combination

With an all-natural, safe ear cleaning solution combined with a soft, silicone tipped applicator, Purotic was born. The design has been optimized so that one full dose of the spray is released slowly upon one pull of the trigger and will make it's way down into your dog's ear canal. Now you can clean your dog's ears with the utmost confidence that it is cost effective and will clear up an ear infection. The formula is alcohol and sulfate free so no burning or itching should occur other than your dog feeling liquid in his ear canal. Once there just a nice massaging motion on the dog ear should be enough to let the solution do it's work. This liquid will drain out the base of the ear but we recommend you use a paper towel or tissue to wipe out the inside of your dog's ear so they feel much more comfortable. It's also a good idea to use rubbing alcohol to clean the application tip each time you use it, that includes between each ear being cleaned so you aren't transferring any bacteria from one ear to the other. Dog's ears are very sensitive but with the correct preventative and regular care, we are convinced using this solution will help save your dog's ears well into his senior years.

No more Foul ear odor!

One of the greatest benefits of this product is the elimination of foul ear odor. What many people may not know is that a lot of problems that occur in dog's ears are caused by yeast. Yeast overgrowth happens here because of the dark, moist environment and it can get there from a variety of way we won't go deep into here. The reality is that it's commonly there and is the source of the smell. It's a fungus and our botanical oils are the perfect natural remedy to kill this fungus. Once that happens, the smell is gone. No more ear smell and you can cuddle up on your dogs face, head and ears without any smelliness.
