Whereas standard ‘human’ cotton buds are not suitable for dog’s ears and can be harmful if used, the BambooStick’s size and shape is optimised for cleaning the pinna and vertical cannal so that it is almost impossible to pass the ear canal turn and touch the ear drum, even in bigger dogs.
The cotton head surface is made of 100% medical grade cotton wool, which is 12 times more absorbent than ‘human’ cotton buds to allow quick and complete cleaning of secretions in the pinna convolution.
The stick is made from bamboo, which is not slippery when using oily liquid. Bamboo is 100% biodegradable and can be incinerated without any pollution. Bamboo was chosen as it is cultivated, grows very quickly, requires little water and no fertiliser therefore does not lead to deforestation.
Dr. Fabrice Lauby of Clinique Veterinaire stated: “Even in cases of heavy secretions, after irrigating the ear with cleaning liquid, 2 or 3 BambooSticks are enough to perform a complete cleaning of the dog’s ear.”
Prices start at £2.25 for a pack of 50 BambooSticks, with offers for bulk buys.
The BambooStick is now available from J.A.K Marketing, who is also offering a free sample pack to UK veterinary practices. More from
