What Saline and Flush Solutions Are For

Flushing. A grass seed in an eye, dirt in a fresh cut, a build up in an ear. Water is not sterile and human eye drops often contain things dogs should not have. A proper flush solution clears debris without doing more damage on the way through.

What to Choose

Ear cleansers

Virbac Epi-Otic at around $35 for 237ml or around $55 for 500ml is the veterinary standard. Our ear flush solution at around $31 and the gentle pet ear cleaner at around $23 are the everyday options.

Dental solutions

Oral dental care at around $20, for rinsing rather than brushing.

How to Flush an Ear

Fill the canal, massage the base of the ear for twenty seconds until you hear it squelch, then let the dog shake. Wipe only what you can see. Never push cotton buds down the canal: you compact debris against the eardrum and turn a cleaning job into a vet visit.

When to Stop and Call a Vet

A dog holding its head to one side, a smell, discharge, or pain on touch means stop flushing and get it seen. Cleaning an infected ear without treating the infection makes it worse. Anything in an eye that does not flush out in one attempt is also a vet job, because a scratched cornea deteriorates quickly.

Trusted by RPBA Breeders

Members keep a flush solution in both the whelping kit and the car, because grass seeds turn up on walks rather than at home.
