Gentle Non-Acidic Ceruminolytic Ear Cleanser for Routine Ear Care
Product Description
Dechra KlearOtic Ear Cleanser is a gentle, non-acidic, ceruminolytic ear cleaning solution formulated for dogs and cats. Containing 22% squalene, a natural organic ceruminolytic, it works to break down and remove excess earwax (cerumen) and debris from the ear canal. It is useful for ceruminous otitis, routine ear maintenance, and for removing debris from ears infested with Otodectes (ear mites). KlearOtic is non-ototoxic, meaning it does not cause hearing loss or inner ear inflammation, making it safe for regular use.
Benefits
- Breaks Down Earwax Naturally: Contains 22% squalene, a natural organic ceruminolytic that effectively dissolves and removes waxy buildup (cerumen) from the ear canal.
- Non-Ototoxic Formula: Research confirms squalene does not cause inflammation or any degree of hearing loss, making it a safer ceruminolytic compared to acidic alternatives.
- Non-Acidic and Gentle: The non-acidic, gentle formula minimizes irritation, making it suitable for routine ear cleansing in dogs and cats with sensitive ears.
- Removes Ear Mite Debris: Effective for clearing debris from ears infested with Otodectes, supporting hygiene management as part of a broader ear mite treatment plan.
- Prevents Wax Build-Up: Regular routine use helps maintain clean, healthy ears that are less likely to become infected due to accumulated wax and debris.
Ingredients
Active Ingredient: 22% Squalene
Other Ingredients: Mineral Oil, Isopropyl Myristate, Squalane.

- Apply to Ear Canal: Apply the solution directly into the ear canal as needed for routine cleaning or wax removal.
- Massage the Ear Base: Gently but firmly massage the base of the ear after applying to help distribute the solution and loosen wax and debris.
