Gentizol Ointment for Dogs
Canine ear infections associated with a yeast infection require special treatment. If your dog has this kind of ear infection, your veterinarian may prescribe Gentizol Ointment because it combines an antibiotic, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory into one convenient topical medication.
- Treats canine ear infections due to yeast
- Three treatments in one—antibiotic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory
- Soothing ointment is easy to apply
Chronic or acute ear infections, also called “otitis externa,” can be caused by a certain type of yeast called Malassezia pachydermatis. Yeast can grow quickly in the ear’s warm, moist environment causing pain, itching, irritation, and swelling and making your dog very uncomfortable. Gentizol Ointment is specifically formulated to treat ear infections due to yeast. This prescription medication combines three active ingredients, including gentamicin (an antibiotic), betamethasone (a steroid), and clotrimazole (an antifungal), to fight bacteria and fungi, and reduce swelling. The powerful trio works quickly and the topical ointment formulation is soothing on your dog’s ear.
What you should know about Gentizol Ointment:
- Talk to your veterinarian before using this product.
- Follow dosing directions exactly - don’t give your pet more medication than directed and don’t skip doses.
- Read the label carefully for information about storage, possible side effects, and drug interactions.
Resistance is a major concern when giving antibiotics. Resistance occurs when bacteria survive and mutate and are then able to survive even after antibiotics are given. To help avoid any resistance, it is important to give antibiotics as they are prescribed for as long as they are prescribed even if your pet is looking and feeling better.

From undisclosedComments about Gentizol OintmentIt's great for my English Bulldogs ear infections. -
I will buy this product again from VetRxDirect!
From undisclosedComments about Gentizol OintmentI have used this ointment on the ear of one of my dogs who seems to suffer from a chronic ear itch. This is one of the best products the vet has recommended for my Sammy. Once I clean his ear and apply the medicine, he stops scratching and he stays relaxed for several days. I strongly recommend that you talk to your vet if your dog has an ear problem and if the vet recommends this product, buy from VetRxDirect as they sell it at a significant lower price.

My vet recommends this for my cat but i see it is for canines. Is it safe for cats??

The manufacturer states that the product is labeled to be used in dogs only. Under the guidance of a veterinarian, Gentizol ointment may be used in an extra label manner, inconsistent with manufacturer instructions, for your cat.

I have just used the product from my vet and now my dog can't hear either, I'm trying to clean this out of her ears in hopes she will have her hearing return. This is messed up! I can't wait until I get a hold of my vet and give a dose of there own medicine. Last time I go there!!!

My dog was prescribed this for itchy ears in the summer. Currently she has scratched open soars on her ears, is this safe to use now and will it help her??
-
My vet prescribed this for a cut on my dog. Most of the information I see is about ear infections. Should I be putting this on my dog's skin??
-
Gentizol ointment contains a combination of gentamicin, betamethasone and clotrimazole in a non-irritating base to provide antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antifungal activity. Gentizol is indicated for canine acute and chronic otitis externa, however can be recommended to be used off-label by your veterinarian for topical application to cut on your dogs skin.
