Direct4Pet has announced it has added Peake Petcare Soothing Ear Cleaning liquid solutions for dogs to its online listings, among several other new suppliers.
The Peake ear cleaner is made to gently loosen and remove dirt and ear wax while disinfecting the ear canal. It comprises Gentian Violet and Boric Acid, which help sterilize the ear and create an acidic environment hostile to bacteria and fungi. It comes in several sizes and includes a colour-free variant suitable for dogs with white ears.
The UK-based veterinary pharmacy and pet-care retailer said these products will join their web page for owners whose dogs need help to clean their ears, such as floppy-eared dogs, dogs that enjoy swimming and dogs with hairy inner ears or narrow ear canals
The company said it is important owners focus on ear care, adding that some dog breeds are more susceptible to ear problems than others such as poodles and their cross breeds, (Cavapoos, Cockerpoos and Golden Doodles,) Spinones, Setters, Spaniels, Labradors, New Foundlands, Leonbergers, Old English Sheepdogs, Shih Tzus , Shar Peis , Basset Hounds and Dachshunds.
RCVS-registered, Direct4Pets offers a range of prescription medicines, food, supplements, accessories and everyday essentials supervised by qualified veterinary professionals.
Direct4Pet in-house veterinary surgeon and company director Stephen Gilmore said: “There are a number of common ailments that can affect a dog’s ears such as ear infections (bacterial, yeast, or fungal), ear mites, allergies, foreign objects like grass seeds, ear growths, and aural hematomas.
Other issues are vestibular disease affecting balance, ear injuries from bites or trauma, and otitis externa, an inflammation of the ear canal that can lead to pain, swelling, redness, odour, and discharge.”
He added: “We are delighted to add Peake Petcare Soothing Ear Cleaner to our listings. The product was developed from a very old formula originally developed by a company in the Netherlands, Quistel that has been used for many years so it is tried and tested. It is sold all over the world and the product is particularly popular with groomers.”
