The Best Ear Cleaner Recipe for: bad, smelly, stinky ears due to ear infections.

The Best Ear Cleaner Recipe for:
bad, smelly, stinky ears due to ear infections.
I have the best recipe for ear infections to share with you.  My black standard poodle had very bad ear infections.  I tried everything outside of medicine, not that I am against medicine but it did not work in the past so why do it again.
 
This is what you need:
Ingredients can all be found at a drug store.

White vinegar
Boric acid powder
Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) 70%
Povidone-Iodine Solution

Directions for mixing the solution together:

Pour six ounces of alcohol in to a plastic applicator bottle. (See preferred bottle type in picture) Add one and a half teaspoons of boric acid powder.  Be careful not to get any boric acid on your skin or clothes.  If you do, wash it off immediately.

Shake the solution extremely well, until the boric acid powder is dissolved.

Add two ounces of white vinegar.  Shake the solution some more.

Add one teaspoon of the Povidone-Iodine Solution , and shake it again.

Using your new ear cleaning solution:

This WILL stain so be careful to use it in a place that you don't want messed up. I like to wear plastic gloves and an old tee shirt.

Have cotton balls ready.  Squirt the solution inside your dog's ear until the ear canal is completely full.  Massage the outside of the ear near the head to help get the cleaning solution around inside of the ear - it has many nooks and crannies.  Put a cotton ball in the ear and allow your dog to shake out the ear cleaning solution from his ears. Use cotton balls to wipe out crud and repeat.

Shake the solution before each time you use it. Store at room temperature.

Use the cleaning solution daily until you start to see an improvement.  Cut back to once per week until completely free of infection.

Warning:  Do not use this ear cleaning solution on dogs with ruptured ear drums, or on dogs with open sores or wounds in the ear area. Remember - it has alcohol in it.

The good news:  I used this once and it cleared my dog's ears up the very first time.  No kidding, It Did!  I used the solution again a week later and No crud, smelled great and he was infection FREE.  It's like a miracle.
If you read this and have the same result will you please send me a note, I would love to hear your story.

Now my disclaimer: I am not a vet, so this is alternative to veterinary medical practice.  If your dog needs further attention go seek veterinarian help.

Wellness Dog Food Recall

Again, Wellness is recalling some of their 12lb Small Breed Adult Health Dry Dog Food due to excess moisture.  Their have reported that their website is down due to hurricane Sandy, but they have the recall information posted on their Facebook page.  You can do a search for that. 

Here is a Quote:
"At Wellness, your complete satisfaction is always our top priority. Only the best tasting, most nutritious food will do for our furry family members. With that in mind we want to let you know that we have discovered that a small amount of our 12lb Small Breed Adult Health Dry Dog Food with the “Best By” date of August 18, 2013 did not meet our high standards. A small batch of the product with this specific date code was found to be higher in moisture than our recipe calls for. High moisture may cause food to mold before its expiration date, but poses no health risk.
We want you and your pet to be completely satisfied, so we are asking those who may have this limited supply of food to contact us for a replacement. No other dates, bag sizes or recipes are affected. Thanks for your support of Wellness, and we apologize for any inconvenience. If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-225-0904. We’ll be open at 8am eastern on Wednesday morning."

Well, this is NOT the first time this company has had a recall.  I am a dog owner and lover and find it hard to trust a company after it has messed up more than once. 
I trust two companies for my dog's food and you may see both at www.spottsgrooming.com or www.pipschoice.com or at www.frrco.com/120855
Don't take a chance on your pet's life is my motto!

Dog Supplements for cold weather

It's cold weather season and that means your dog needs protection from harsh, cold temperatures.  Dogs need to go outdoors to go potty, but the rain, snow, and blowing winds can affect your pet's health.  Give them a supplement once a day to help your dog stay healthy.  Give them NuVet Plus - your dog's best friend!

Potty Park

Potty Park is great for anyone.
Why use the Potty Park? Well your puppy will have a spot to go potty in your home or wherever you choose to place it because your pup is attracted to it. This is great for the elderly or those with busy schedules who can not walk their dog several times during the day. You can even place it on your patio or anywhere inside your home.  Great for people that live in high rise apartments. It is also easy to teach your puppy to potty in real grass after being trained with this system since it has the look and feel of real grass.
