Very effective.
Have had issues with my German Shephards ears since he was very young. Have tried everything. My dog doesn't like anyone or anything to touch his ears. All the other daily treatments were impossible as it is a wrestling match with this 120lb dog every day. I took my dog to the vet one way in regards to his ears. I was there to tell the vet it was time to do the procedure we did a few years earlier. Basically, anesthetize him and have the vet clean his ears out and then put the same stuff in he did last time. He told me we don't have to do that any more. We got 4 people in the room, we got the dog held down and we got the Claro in both ears. The results were amazing. Highly recommend.

Horrible experience for my dog and me
Our vet applied this to our terrier mix, Cooper, resulting in 30 days of painful whining and oozing ears. It created a sticky discharge which required delicate cleaning of the ear flap EVERY DAY FOR A MONTH. The waxy discharge was nearly impossible to remove from his fur. It created extreme discomfort and he was constantly trying to shake and claw this junk out of his ear. What a nightmare!

Temporary hearing loss
From Los AngelesComments about Claro Otic SolutionAfter application my dog experienced hearing loss that lasted about 3-4 days and gradually improved. We're on day 5 and he's still shaking his head indicating the medication wasn't all that effective -

Great stuff
From UndisclosedComments about Claro Otic Solution Two 1mL DosesI was never able to purchase it because I have to have a vet look at my dog every time before giving it to him. But I know it works and works well. I have Mastiffs and I would recommend this. And also recommend cropping ears if you can. Helps to dry the ears more naturally. -
This medication helps m pet than other medications I have ua
From UndisclosedComments about Claro Otic SolutionI picked this product because it is a constant battle to put medicine in his ear every day because he has a cheonic ongoing ear infection. This product helps because I only have to put this in his ear once every 4 weeks or more. -
This is a great medication made my dog feel better
From UndisclosedComments about Claro Otic Solution One 1mL DoseOmg m dog Dante has had an ear infection for months now and nothing seemed to work until I tried Claro. Since I used it in his ear he hasn't been shaking his head and his ear is a naval color instead of red. I love this product -

Claro Works!
From UndisclosedComments about Claro Otic SolutionOur Cocker Spaniel has had chronic ear infections, and the Claro is the only thing that gives her relief. I was paying the Vet three times the cost of the product to put it in her ears, so she showed me how to do it; and now I get the Claro from vetrxdirect. Aja thanks you! -

From UndisclosedComments about Claro Otic SolutionThis worked so well for my dog. Would really recommend it since my dog was having so many ear issues. We used this after he had ear hematoma surgery then it got infected-

Why are you promoting this dangerous product when you know the side effects can cause facial and eyelid paralysis and possible loss of smell which canines rely on tremendously? How many patients have become victims to this potentially devastating "medication"? How transparent are the warnings of Clark's toxicity??
-
Can Claro be used safely in Pregnant, Lactating, or dogs that are going to be Bred – such as dogs in your Breeding Program??
-

Verified Answer -
Do NOT trust this product! It poisoned my sweet little Havanese. The product information is so poor that the healthcare professionals were unaware of how toxic to canines it can be.
