Worked like a charm!
By Zalina on Aug 19, 2019
Thank you Otomax for getting rid of a very nasty ear infection. My Rocco would never let me put drops directly into his ear, or wait till I count to 8, but the cotton ball method worked just as good!

Works great! No hassle! Would recommend!
By Jess on Mar 8, 2019
I have been dealing with ear issues for a while with my lab. Vet visits get expensive! We tried MANY ear supplies from the pet store. My friend came over with her dog who has the same issues and recommended this. So we tried it! We did 3 doses and he has been clear for about a month now. Worked quickly! No hassle with chewy getting a script from the vet. No trip to the vet. Saved a lot of time, discomfort and money! Such a happy momma and happy pup! Thank you chewy!!!

Dermatological Cure All
By Tessa on Mar 13, 2019
My dog, Luna, has allergies and all-around dermatology issues. Otomax was originally prescribed to her for an ear infection but (under her dermatologist's advice) it has been something of a dermatological cure-all in our household. It has successfully treated frequent ear infections, local staph infections (on her paw), and allergic-reaction skin lesions.
