Can I Give My Dog Epi-Otic?

No
NEVER cotton swabs into the canal. Head-shaking + odor + redness = infection = vet (cleaner alone won't fix it, and a ruptured eardrum changes what's safe).

Cats use a different amount

The published cat reference (same technique, only if directed) differs from the dog range. Never split the difference between species; check the cat page instead.

About Ear cleaner (vet-formulated)

Ear cleaner (vet-formulated) is an ear product. You will see it sold as Epi-Otic, MalAcetic and store-brand equivalents, and the label strength on the box is what matters for the math, not the brand. Reference data on this page reflects published veterinary sources, not a prescription for your dog.

What to have ready when you call the vet

Whether you are confirming a dose or reporting that your dog already got into something, the call goes faster with four facts ready: your dog's current weight, the exact product name and strength from the label, how much was given or eaten, and roughly when. With those, most clinics can answer in one call.

The safe habit

Confirm any medication decision with your veterinarian, who knows your dog's health history and other medications. VetDose shows published reference data, not prescriptions.
