Looking for a good product to clean ears after swimming. Malacetic Acid has been recommended. What do you use? Any particular likes or dislikes?

Alcohol is what I have used in the past with pointy eared dogs. It doesn't kill some of the stuff that floppy eared dogs are prone to. Or at least that is what I was led to understand. Good to know it's used and seems to work.
That's what my Vet prescribed for our occasional yeasty ear, so that's what I use.Originally Posted by ckfalz

We use Otifree (Otifree EAR Cleaner DOG CAT 60 ML | eBay) on cosmetic cotton pads. Really works for us.

Luna swims almost daily and hasn't had any sort of ear problem yet with the rubbing alcohol/witch hazel routine. Knock on wood!

We tried several different brands, before our vet recommended the Virbac ear cleaner. Lola had a bunch ear problems early on, so our vet suggested that we use it twice a week and whenever she swims. We've been religious about it, and the results have been amazing. You can buy it on Amazon.

The vet prescribed maya something for an ear infection. However she is still shaking her head, just not as much. So I use vetericyn. I brought it to the vets and she said it will work just fine.
