Is Your Pet Suffering from Ear Mites? Find out How Otomite Plus Can Help!

Ear mites can be a persistent problem for many pets, leading to constant discomfort, itching, and even infection. But what if there was a fast-acting solution that’s safe and effective?

Enter Otomite Plus Ear Mite Treatment (0.5 oz), a powerful yet gentle treatment designed to eliminate ear mites in both dogs and cats. Formulated to provide relief while targeting the root cause of the problem, Otomite Plus ensures that your pet’s ears remain healthy and irritation-free.

Benefits of Otomite Plus Ear Mite Treatment

  • Immediate Relief: Starts working on contact to kill mites quickly and provide your pet with immediate relief from itching and discomfort.
  • Veterinarian-Recommended: Trusted by vets for its effectiveness and safety, Otomite Plus is a reliable choice for treating ear mites.
  • Easy to Apply: Comes with a convenient applicator tip that makes administering the treatment straightforward and stress-free for both you and your pet.
  • Soothes Irritated Skin: Formulated with ingredients that help calm and soothe irritated ear tissues, promoting faster healing.

Otomite Ear Drops - Ingredients

Active Ingredients: Pyrethrins 0.15% (double synergized), Piperonyl Butoxide* 1.50% (synergist), n-Octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide .48% (synergist)

  • Pyrethrins: A natural insecticide derived from chrysanthemums, highly effective at killing mites on contact.
  • Piperonyl Butoxide: Enhances the efficacy of pyrethrins, ensuring complete elimination of mites.
  • Other Soothing Agents: Help to reduce inflammation and promote healing within the ear canal.

How It Works

Otomite Plus works by directly targeting the mites in your pet’s ears. Upon application, the active ingredients immediately start eliminating mites on contact. The formulation also works to soothe the ear canal, reducing inflammation and preventing secondary infections. As the mites are killed, the product helps in breaking the lifecycle of the mites, ensuring that the infestation is thoroughly eradicated.

Directions for Use

Shake well before using. Cleanse ear thoroughly with a low pH ear cleanser, like Epi-Otic Advances Ear Cleanser. Place sufficient Otomite Plus in each ear to wet external ear canal.

Approximate rates: for each pound of body weight: 1 drop (max 15) for dogs and 2 drop (max 10) for cats. Spread product inside ear canal by massaging the ear.

Re-treat at least every 7 days, depending on the severity of the condition, but not more frequently than twice a week.

If condition does not resolve in 2 weeks, discontinue treatment and consult your veterinarian. If it is necessary to reuse an ear cleaner, re-treat afterwards with Otomite Plus.

Q: Can I use Otomite Plus as a preventive measure even if my pet doesn’t have ear mites?

Q: Can I bathe my pet during the treatment period with Otomite Plus?

A: Bathing your pet during treatment with Otomite Plus is generally safe, but avoid getting the product wet immediately after application. Wait at least 24 hours after applying Otomite Plus before bathing to ensure the product remains effective.

Q: What should I do if Otomite Plus doesn’t seem to be working?

Q: How can I prevent ear mite infestations in the future after using Otomite Plus?

A: To prevent future ear mite infestations, regularly clean your pet’s ears, keep their bedding clean, and avoid contact with animals known to have mites. Regular vet check-ups and early intervention at the first sign of symptoms can also help keep infestations at bay.
