How much will I pay to treat my pet's ear mites, including the vet?

Question

How much does ear mite treatment cost?

Sabina Snyder, Specialty Surgery Technician · Accepted Answer

Ear mite treatment is not particularly expensive, and you can purchase the treatment over the counter at a pet store for around $10. However, the best recommendation is that you visit your vet in order to confirm the diagnosis with a test called an ear cytology. This usually costs between $25 and $40, depending on where you live, and will tell you for sure if the debris in your pet's ears is caused by ear mites and not something else, like yeast or bacteria. Using the ear miticide without getting an exact diagnosis will prolong effective treatment if it turns out that mites aren't the problem.
