Very effective.
Have had issues with my German Shephards ears since he was very young. Have tried everything. My dog doesn't like anyone or anything to touch his ears. All the other daily treatments were impossible as it is a wrestling match with this 120lb dog every day. I took my dog to the vet one way in regards to his ears. I was there to tell the vet it was time to do the procedure we did a few years earlier. Basically, anesthetize him and have the vet clean his ears out and then put the same stuff in he did last time. He told me we don't have to do that any more. We got 4 people in the room, we got the dog held down and we got the Claro in both ears. The results were amazing. Highly recommend.

Horrible experience for my dog and me
Our vet applied this to our terrier mix, Cooper, resulting in 30 days of painful whining and oozing ears. It created a sticky discharge which required delicate cleaning of the ear flap EVERY DAY FOR A MONTH. The waxy discharge was nearly impossible to remove from his fur. It created extreme discomfort and he was constantly trying to shake and claw this junk out of his ear. What a nightmare!

Normal dog now has trouble eating, drinking, and walking.
From Moscow IdahoComments about Claro Otic SolutionMy vet suggested this product for my dog's waxy ears. Afterward, her tongue stopped working correctly, making it difficult for her to eat and drink. She also become ataxic, having difficulty standing or walking. It has basically turned her into an invalid and robbed her of quality of life. I have to feed her by hand, and have been hydrating her with saline from the vet given at home sub-q. We had the vet try to flush Claro from her ears, as best as could be done. One week after application, Lucy is walking again, but wobbly. I wish so much we had never used this. -
My dog now appears to be deaf
From Punta Gorda FloridaComments about Claro Otic SolutionI am so sad that I didn't try some type of a home remedy to clear up the yeast in my little dogs ears. He now appears to be deaf and will never hear "Good Boy" or our voices again. It breaks my heart I let this happen to my beloved pet. -

Why are you promoting this dangerous product when you know the side effects can cause facial and eyelid paralysis and possible loss of smell which canines rely on tremendously? How many patients have become victims to this potentially devastating "medication"? How transparent are the warnings of Clark's toxicity??
-
Can Claro be used safely in Pregnant, Lactating, or dogs that are going to be Bred – such as dogs in your Breeding Program??
-

Do NOT trust this product! It poisoned my sweet little Havanese. The product information is so poor that the healthcare professionals were unaware of how toxic to canines it can be.
