Nutraotic Ear Cleaning Wipes for Dogs & Cats

Nutraotic ear cleaning wipes give you a quick, mess-free way to keep your pet’s ears clean between baths and vet visits. Each tub holds 60 textured circular wipes, pre-soaked in Nutravet’s aloe vera formula. They lift dirt, debris and wax from the outer ear and the entrance to the canal, and they leave a fresh cucumber and melon scent rather than that damp-dog smell.

Why use Nutraotic ear cleaning wipes?

A bottle of solution is ideal for a proper clean. Wipes are what you actually reach for on a Tuesday evening when the dog comes in from a muddy walk. Having both makes routine ear care far more likely to happen.

• Textured surface helps lift dirt, debris and softened wax
• Gently cleans and dries the ear
• Helps reduce ear odours
• Aloe vera moisturises and soothes the skin
• Non-irritating and safe for daily use
• 60 wipes per tub, ready to use with no measuring or pouring

What is in them

• Aloe vera – moisturises and soothes.
• Chloroxylenol and salicylic acid – provide anti-bacterial and anti-fungal support and help lift wax.
• EDTA / disodium EDTA – boosts the antimicrobial action of the blend.
• Vitamin E – an antioxidant.

The wipe itself measures 6.5cm across and is made from 70% viscose and 30% polyester.

How to use them

• Take one wipe from the tub and reseal the lid so the rest stay moist.
• Wrap it around your finger and clean the outer ear and the visible part of the canal.
• Use a new wipe for the second ear. Nutravet advises this to avoid carrying bacteria from one ear across to the other.
• Never push a wipe or a cotton bud deep into the ear canal.
• For a deeper clean, use them alongside Nutraotic ear cleaning solution.

Who they are for

Dogs and cats, including puppies and kittens. These are grooming and hygiene wipes, not a medicine, and they will not treat an ear infection. Book a vet appointment if you notice discharge, marked redness, swelling, heat, a strong smell, repeated head shaking or scratching, or any sign of pain. Nutravet advises against use where the eardrum may be perforated unless your vet has said it is fine, and the wipes are not formulated to eradicate ear mites.

When wipes are the better choice

The wipes and the solution do different jobs. Reach for the wipes when:

• Your dog has come in from a muddy or dusty walk.
• You want a quick check of the ears without a full clean.
• You are travelling, at a show, or away for the weekend.
• Your pet dislikes liquid being poured into the ear.
• You are clearing away debris already loosened by the solution.

Building an ear-care routine

A short weekly look is worth more than an occasional deep clean. Pick a regular slot, such as after Sunday’s walk, and make it part of grooming rather than an event. Handle the ears calmly, look inside before you wipe, and note anything that seems different from last week. Finish with a treat, so your pet learns that ear handling is dull rather than alarming. Catching a problem early is often the difference between a wipe and a course of treatment.

Getting the most from a tub

Reseal the lid straight after taking a wipe, because a tub left open dries out quickly and the last wipes end up useless. Take them out one at a time rather than pulling a handful. Store the tub upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and use it by the date printed on the label.

Nutraotic ear cleaning wipes FAQs

How often can I use them? They are safe for daily use. How often your pet needs them depends on breed, coat and lifestyle.

Do I really need a fresh wipe per ear? Yes. It is the simplest way to stop bacteria travelling between ears.

Are they suitable for cats? Yes, for cats and kittens as well as dogs and puppies.

Can I use them on the face or paws? They are formulated for ears. Use a general-purpose pet wipe elsewhere.

Wipes or the solution? Wipes handle quick routine cleaning. The 225ml solution reaches further into the canal. Many owners keep both.

What if a tub has dried out? Do not add water or anything else to it. Start a fresh tub and keep the lid sealed between uses.

Can I use them on a nervous rescue dog? Yes, and they are often easier to start with than liquid. Build up slowly and keep the sessions short.
