is an astringent powder designed to keep ears dry, reduce odor, and facilitate the removal of unwanted hair. It is intended for grooming and hygiene, not for treating ear infections or mites.
Key Features & Benefits
- Keeps Ears Dry: The primary function is to absorb excess moisture in the ear canal, which helps prevent an environment conducive to bacterial and yeast growth.
- Reduces Odor: It helps eliminate unpleasant odors in the ear canal not caused by medical conditions.
- Aids Hair Removal: It has “tight grip” properties that make it easier to pluck unwanted hair from the ear canal using fingers, forceps, or tweezers. This also makes it excellent for hand stripping in grooming.
- Easy Application: It comes with a convenient funnel tip dispenser for precise and controlled application.
- Safe Formula: According to Bio-Groom, it is made with an inert amorphous powder and is safe for all breeds of dogs and cats, including puppies and kittens.
How to Use
For best results, the manufacturer recommends the following procedure:
- Clean ears first: Begin by cleaning the pet’s ears with a liquid ear cleaner, such as Bio-Groom Liquid Ear Care Lotion, and cotton swabs.
- Apply powder: Gently puff a small amount of the Bio-Groom Ear Fresh Grooming Ear Powder into the ear canal using the funnel tip dispenser to ensure even coverage.
- Remove hair: Use the powder’s grip properties to remove unwanted hair with your fingers, forceps, or tweezers.
- Allow the pet to shake its head: This helps spread the powder and is a natural part of the ear cleaning process.
- Caution: This product is a grooming aid, not a medication. If the dog has a painful condition, discharge, swelling, or signs of infection or mites, discontinue use and consult a veterinarian immediately.
