Propythium Ear Cleaner - Natural Yeast Killer
Propythium contains Pythium oligandrum — a beneficial, non-pathogenic, algae-like microorganism that helps manage fungal and bacterial conditions. It’s designed for topical use, including in the ears of dogs, cats, and horses.
Pythium oligandrum is a microscopic, yeast-like organism that naturally lives in soil. Of over 50 known species, this one is particularly beneficial — found around plant roots worldwide.
It works through mycoparasitism, meaning it consumes other fungi for survival. It attacks harmful fungi, extracts nutrients (such as nitrogen and carbon), kills them in the process, and then produces zoospores that actively seek out additional fungal targets and their spores.
P. oligandrum also has antibacterial properties — it secretes enzymes that inhibit bacterial growth in the area while it works. Studies show that, although it reduces pathogenic bacteria, it does not disrupt the natural bacterial flora (Vallance et al., 2009 & 2012). When resources (yeast or fungi) are depleted, it encapsulates and leaves the area, allowing normal microflora activity to resume.

The Propythium Ear Cleaner combines the antifungal and antibacterial power of Pythium oligandrum with pharmaceutical-grade olive oil. It helps relieve dogs, cats, and horses from symptoms associated with fungal or bacterial ear infections while gently cleansing and moisturizing the ear canal.
Application: Apply Propythium Ear Cleaner directly into the ear canal for as long as symptoms persist (typically no more than five days). Afterward, it can be used occasionally as a moisturizing ear cleaner.
Instructions:
- Shake the bottle well — sediment is harmless and normal.
- Pump a few drops of the product into the ear.
- Gently massage around the ear to ensure even absorption.
- Wipe the ear clean with gauze.
- Caution: Do not mix with other antifungal treatments.
- Storage: Keep dry at 15–25 °C. Avoid contact with other substances.
- Warning: For veterinary use only. Keep away from children. Not for oral use.
Customer Reviews
Finally, a product that does what it promises! After just 2 days the improvement in my dog's ear was noticeable and today, after 4 days use the improvement is clearly visible with a minimal amount of the brown dirt which had been plaguing Charlie's ear since June, coming away when his ear is wiped and hardly any of the liquid discharge which accompanies it! I am very hopeful that another couple of applications will have sorted out the issue completely! After trying 4 or 5 different approaches with ear cleaning products, it is such a relief to have found one that actually works.
I’ve gone down the middle with this review as I’m really not sure if my dog has had a reaction to the Propythium. Ears were smelling yeasty and had discharge before starting, but are now red and inflamed. So cannot write an accurate review at this point. We have been happy with other products from Dogs First.
After using cleaning products daily for months, we swabbed the ear, confirmed yeast, ordered Propythium used it for 3 days and the difference is amazing. Thank you.
Definitely reduced discharge, ears appear healthier.
Difficult to squeeze drops from bottle.
I ordered this because of th
e high recommendation..My problem was trying go get my stubborn dog to cooperate.
