Description
If your furry friend is shaking their head, scratching or holding their head to one side, they may have an ear infection.
Natural Cat and Dog Ear Infection Remedy
Ear infections in dogs and cats are fairly common and some breeds are more susceptible because the anatomy of their ears may trap moisture and debris inside the ear. Dogs with floppy ears like the American English Coonhound or cats with smaller outer ears like Himalayans are prone to developing ear infections.
Diagnosing these conditions requires a thorough examination of your dog or cat’s ear. Once diagnosed, your vet may recommend pairing a topical remedy like Echo Gold with an oral supplement like Alge-Ex if the cause is environmental.
Potential Causes of Cat and Dog Ear Infections
- Breed related issues
- Allergies due to food or environmental irritants
- Parasites (eg. ear mites)
- Other health issues that trigger hormonal imbalance (hypothyroidism)
- Grass or moist hair (foreign particles)
- Excess wax (wax moisture promotes bacterial growth and infection)
- Bacteria and yeast infections
- Immune conditions
- Tumors
How NHV Supplements Help Prevent Ear Infections
Ear infections can cause a lot of discomfort and itchiness in your furry friend. Soothing ingredients like ginger, chamomile and myrrh provide relief as your pet recovers while ingredients like goldenseal and tea tree oil contain antibacterial and antifungal properties which help control infections in and around the ear.

Algae-Ex provides internal support while Echo Gold is beneficial for protecting and soothing overall ear discomfort.

If your pet only eats dry food then soak a few kibbles at feeding time.

FAQ
Can I give the Echo Goal internally?
No. This is a topical supplement only. For an internal supplement that will aid with allergies, pair Echo Gold with Alge-Ex.
How long will it be before I see results when using the Echo Gold?
The natural ingredients in our supplements work holistically to support your pet’s body so it may take 3-4 weeks, of consistent use, for the herbs to present their full benefits. A little patience goes a long way! Our gentle yet effective kit for cat and dog ear infection can be used alone—as a gentle alternative to traditional medicine, or alongside pharmaceuticals for additional support.
My pet is on other ear drops from the veterinarian. Can I use these at the same time?
NHV supplements are formulated by a holistic veterinarian and master herbalist to be gentle, effective remedies that can be used alongside other vet-prescribed medication. Check with your veterinarian to see if they can be used together. If you decide to use them together, for best results, leave a two-hour window between each supplement or medication (to avoid negative interactions between ingredients).

What's the black stuff in my dog's ear?
It is difficult to say what is in your dog’s ears without a thorough examination of their ear discharge. To figure out the cause of the black stuff, have your vet take a look and come up with a diagnosis. Never diagnose your pet without a visit to their vet.
My pet’s ears are hot. Does that mean they have a fever?
If your pet has hot ears, don’t panic. Their ears help them regulate their internal temperature so they may just be warm from playing or being outside on a hot day. Your pet’s temperature can only be accurately calculated using a rectal thermometer - temperature readings from their ears may not be accurate.
