Leading veterinary-led online retailer Direct4Pet has added a number of new suppliers to its online listings, including Peakes Petcare Soothing Ear Cleaning liquid solutions for dogs. 

Ear care is an important area that pet owners need to pay attention to, says in house Veterinary Surgeon and Company Director, Stephen Gilmore. “There are a number of common ailments that can affect a dog’s ears such as ear infections (bacterial, yeast, or fungal), ear mites, allergies, foreign objects like grass seeds, ear growths, and aural hematomas. Other issues are vestibular disease affecting balance, ear injuries from bites or trauma, and otitis externa, an inflammation of the ear canal that can lead to pain, swelling, redness, odour, and discharge.”

Some breeds of dogs are more prone to ear problems than others such as poodles and their cross breeds, (Cavapoos, Cockerpoos and Golden Doodles,)  Spinones, Setters, Spaniels, Labradors, New Foundlands, Leonbergers, Old English Sheepdogs, Shih Tzus , Shar Peis , Basset Hounds and Dachshunds to name but few. Typically, owners of floppy eared dogs, dogs that love being in water and, dogs with hairy inner ears or with narrow ear canals often need help to keep their ears clean which as a veterinary led retailer, Direct4Pet has a section of their website dedicated to offering products that cater for this area.

Steve says: “We are delighted to add Peakes Petcare Soothing Ear Cleaner to our listings. The product was developed from a very old formula originally developed by a company in the Netherlands, Quistel that has been used for many years so it is tried and tested. It is sold all over the world and the product is particularly popular with groomers.”

Peake Petcre's Soothing Ear Cleaner is designed to gently loosen and remove dirt and ear wax while disinfecting the ear canal.  The formulation includes Gentian Violet and Boric Acid, which help sterilize the ear and create an acidic environment hostile to bacteria and fungi. It is available in 50ml, 150ml, and 500ml sizes and there is a product in the range that is suitable for dogs with white ears as it is colour free. This product is highly rated by pet owners for its effectiveness in alleviating ear irritation and maintaining ear health.
