We decided to check out Great Pet’s Great Ears Cleaner and offer our review for your information.
After testing, we found that Great Ears Cleaner is easy to use and well-tolerated by cats. The scent is not unpleasant and the product cleans effectively without overly drying or irritating the cat’s ears.
This cleaner is a fine option for cat owners trying to avoid ear issues by performing regular cleaning. It could also work as part of a treatment regimen for cats with ear infections. The one knock we could give this product is the price, which is a bit high. Fortunately, you don’t need much cleaner to do the job, and one bottle should last you quite a while.

Made From All-Natural Ingredients
Great Pet’s Great Ears cleaner is made of 99% all-natural ingredients, making it gentle and safe for all ages of cats. It has no alcohols, parabens, phosphates, or sulfates, allowing it to clean without drying out or irritating the cat’s ears. Because it doesn’t sting or have a sharp smell, Great Ears is more easily tolerated by our feline friends. Coconut provides moisturizing qualities as well, serving to help soothe and restore the skin of the ears.
Easy To Use
Let’s face it, cats aren’t always willing participants in their own health care and grooming. You want an ear cleaner that works quickly and easily, and Great Ears does just that. Simply wet a cotton ball or soft cloth and wipe the inside of the cat’s ear. If your cat’s ears are waxy or dirty, you will need to use the product daily for at least 3 days. For regular maintenance and moisturizing, however, a quick wipe down 1-2 times per week should suffice.
30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
When purchased directly from the company, Great Ears comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, with either refunds or exchanges available. The product does need to be in new condition, however. Products purchased from third-party retailers are subject to the return policies of those stores.
High Price But Long-Lasting Bottle
Great Ears Cleaner checks in at a higher price than many other best-selling ear cleaners, including some often sold in veterinary offices. However, the bottle is large enough to last up to several months because you generally only need to use enough cleaner to wet a cotton ball each time.
FAQ: Great Pet Cat Ear Cleaner
Can I Squirt This Cleaner Into My Cat’s Ear Rather Than Wipe It With a Cotton Ball?
In theory, yes, but this won’t be as effective at cleaning the outer ear as the cotton ball method would be. In addition, your cat is less likely to tolerate a flood of cleaner in their ear and may quickly learn to hide as soon as they spot the bottle.
How Do I Teach My Cat to Tolerate Ear Cleaning?
If you are able, begin getting your cat used to a grooming routine, including ear cleaning, when they are still kittens. Great Ears is a good choice for cleaning kitten ears because of its gentleness. Whatever age you begin, the key is to make the whole experience as pleasant as possible for the cat.
Be calm and reassuring towards your cat and provide plenty of treats to reward their cooperation. Once your cat realizes the cleaning does not hurt, is over quickly, and results in yummy rewards, the task should go more smoothly.
Where Is This Product Manufactured?
Great Pet products are made in the USA.
