My dog keeps getting ear infections. What ear drops can I get?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 22 lbs

Hi, my cockapoo often suffers from ear infections & I'm pretty sure she has another one now. I would like to know which ear drops to buy. I don't really want to have to go to the vet each time as it's a fairly frequent problem. Thanks

Unfortunately effective ear drops are on prescription, but your vet could do more than one prescription so you can buy them online. The combination of Canaural (with medication) and Sancerum (it is not on prescription and used only for ear cleaning) would be a good first line treatment. Aurizon or Otomax (instead of the Canaural) are more specific products, more indicated for resistant and more difficult cases. Aurizon, Otomax and Canaural can be used for a week each time. Sancerum can be used for routine ears cleaning.
