Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is TrizEDTA and how does it support pet ear health?
Ans: TrizEDTA is a buffered solution of Tromethamine and Disodium EDTA at pH 8. It works as an antibacterial flush, alkalinizing solution, and antibiotic potentiator, helping cleanse the ear canal, raise skin pH, and break down inflammatory discharge for better treatment outcomes.
Q2: Can the flush be used in both dogs and cats?
Ans: Yes, the solution is formulated for use in both dogs and cats as a cleaning, alkalinizing, and pretreatment solution. It is also commonly used for puppies and kittens when directed by a veterinarian, making it versatile for multi-pet households.
Q3: How often should the flush be applied?
Ans: Typically applied 2 to 3 times per week as needed, or as directed by your veterinarian. Frequency depends on the condition being treated, severity of issues, and whether the flush is used alone or as a pretreatment with other medications.
Q4: Can the flush be used with antibiotic ear medications?
Ans: Yes, when used with antibacterial ear medications, apply the flush approximately 30 minutes before the antibiotic. This pretreatment helps break down inflammatory discharge in the ear and supports more effective absorption and action of the prescribed antibiotic.
Q5: Does the solution contain alcohol or dyes?
Ans: No, the formula is alcohol-free, dye-free, and fragrance-free. This makes it gentle enough for sensitive or irritated skin and ears, and suitable for pets with perforated eardrums when recommended by a veterinarian.
Q6: Is the flush helpful against Pseudomonas infections?
Ans: Yes, TrizEDTA buffer solutions are valuable as a long-term therapy for preventing the recurrence of Pseudomonas infection. They can be used as part of a regular ear cleaning regimen or as a presoak before placing antibacterial solution into the ear canal.
Q7: Can the product be used on skin, not just ears?
Ans: Yes, the multi-use formula can be applied to affected skin areas. Squeeze the flush over the affected area, then use a cotton ball to remove excess solution. Repeat as necessary or as directed by your veterinarian for optimal results.
Q8: How does the flush help with antibiotic effectiveness?
Ans: The TrizEDTA solution acts as an antibiotic potentiator. Alkalinizing the area and breaking down bacterial biofilm allows antibiotics applied afterward to penetrate more effectively, improving the overall outcome of antibacterial therapy in the ear canal.
Q9: How should the bottle be stored at home?
Ans: Store at controlled room temperature between 15 to 30°C (59 to 86°F) in a cool, dry location. Keep the cap tightly closed after each use and store it out of reach of children and other animals to maintain product integrity.
Q10: Are there any known side effects?
Ans: There are no known side effects when used as directed. However, if skin irritation develops or worsens during use, discontinue immediately and consult your veterinarian for guidance and alternative treatment options.

For eligible international orders, applicable import duties and taxes are calculated and collected at checkout where required. When these charges apply, the order is shipped on a duties-and-taxes-paid basis so that the same import charges should not be collected again at delivery.

5. Tracking
When tracking is available, you will receive shipment confirmation with tracking information after the order has shipped. Please allow up to 48 hours for tracking information to become active after the carrier receives the shipment.
6. Address Accuracy and Changes
Please review your shipping address carefully before submitting an order. If you notice an address error, contact us as soon as possible. We will try to help before shipment, but an address change cannot be guaranteed once fulfillment or carrier processing has begun.
Additional carrier or re-delivery charges resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address may be the customer's responsibility where permitted by law.
7. Delayed or Lost Shipments
If your shipment has not arrived within the estimated delivery timeframe, please contact us. We will review the tracking information, work with the carrier when necessary, and assist with an appropriate resolution based on the circumstances.
Delivery estimates are not guarantees and may be affected by carrier delays, weather, public holidays, customs processing, or other transportation disruptions.

- Unused, unwashed, and in its original condition.
- Returned with the original packaging, tags, accessories, manuals, and other included components, when applicable.
- Not specifically identified as final sale or non-returnable before purchase.
Products that show use, alteration, avoidable damage, missing components, or other conditions outside the eligibility requirements may be ineligible for a refund.
3. Product-Specific Non-Returnable Items
Some products may be non-returnable for hygiene, safety, customization, final-sale, or other product-specific reasons. Any such restriction will be disclosed on the product page or before purchase when applicable.

Returns are handled by mail. Before sending an item back, contact our customer support team through the Contact page or the current contact information displayed in the website footer. Please provide:

For a standard return made for customer-choice reasons, the actual carrier postage charged for use of the prepaid return label will be deducted from the approved refund. We do not charge a separate restocking fee.
If the return is required because the item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect and the claim is approved, we cover the return-label cost.
If you choose not to use the provided label when an alternative return method is authorized, use a trackable shipping service and keep your shipping receipt until the return is completed.

After the returned item is received, we inspect it and notify you whether the refund is approved.
If approved, the refund is issued to the original payment method. We generally process an approved refund within 1–3 business days. After the refund is issued, your bank or card provider may require an additional 5–10 business days to post the funds to your account.
