How It Works
The LP3 enzyme system naturally cleans and detoxifies the ear canal by breaking down microbial structures (bacteria, yeast) without harsh chemicals. No steroids means it’s ideal for ongoing maintenance or sensitive ears.
Best Use Cases
Use this version when you want to maintain ear health, address mild infections, or as a gentler daily solution without exposure to corticosteroids.
Usage Instructions

- Massage base of ear for 30–60 seconds

FAQ
- Is this suitable for chronic use?
- Yes — since there’s no steroid, it can often be safer for longer-term maintenance (but follow vet advice).
- When should I choose a steroid version?
- If your pet’s ears are highly inflamed, itchy, or irritated, a version with hydrocortisone (like PLUS Otic or Hydrocortisone variant) may be more appropriate.

- Massage the base of the ear 30–60 seconds and wipe excess.

Safety & storage

- Do not use if you suspect a ruptured eardrum. If symptoms worsen or fail to improve, consult your veterinarian.
- Store at room temperature; keep out of reach of children and pets.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Over-cleaning before use (can reduce enzymatic effectiveness)
- Inconsistent daily application

FAQs
- Is steroid-free better?

- Can I switch between Zymox versions?
- Many pet parents keep Enzymatic for routine care and use a hydrocortisone version when flare-ups occur. Ask your vet for guidance.
- Do I need to clean the ears first?
- No. Apply directly and wipe away excess.
