# Fond Paws FAQ Knowledge Base

## Is Fond Paws a medicine or a treatment?

No. It is a cosmetic ear rinse that cleans and deodorizes your pet’s ears. It does not treat or cure infections, mites or any condition.

## Will it sting or irritate my pet’s ears?

No. It has no alcohol, no peroxide and no vinegar, so there is no sting. The soft flexible tip is gentle, and it is safe if your pet licks it.

## Can I use it on both dogs and cats?

Yes. The same gentle rinse works for dogs and cats. For cats it is handy for that dark, coffee ground looking debris, and it is safe if licked.

## What does Fond Paws contain / consist of?

It is built around Betaine Salicylate to dissolve ear wax, witch hazel to soothe irritated ears, and lavender and mint, in a plant based base with no alcohol. The full ingredient list is printed on every bottle.

## What kind of product is Fond Paws?

It is a gentle plant based ear rinse for dogs and cats. You put two to three drops in the ear canal, massage the base, let your pet shake, then wipe with a swab. It cleanses and deodorizes the ear canal. It is a hygiene rinse, not a medicine.

## How is Fond Paws different from a vet ear cleaning?

A vet visit is the right call for pain, swelling or discharge. For routine cleaning and early signs like wax, odor and light scratching, a gentle at home rinse used one to two times a week keeps ears clean between visits and can save you a vet bill.

## How much does Fond Paws cost?

A single bottle is $29.99. The 2 bottle duo is $49.99 with free shipping, and the 3 bottle pack is $64.99 with free shipping and a free gift. Every order is backed by the 60-day promise.

## What is the 60-day promise?

Use the rinse as part of your pet’s routine, one to two times a week. If you are not happy with how your pet’s ears look and smell, email us once for a full refund and keep the bottles. It is a satisfaction promise, not a cure guarantee.

# Guide-specific questions

## Can ear cleaning at home save a vet bill?

Source guide: At Home Ear Cleaning vs a Vet Visit

For routine wax and odor and early scratching, cleaning at home one to two times a week often keeps ears healthy between visits. It does not replace a vet when there is pain or discharge.

## When should I stop and see a vet?

Source guide: At Home Ear Cleaning vs a Vet Visit

Stop and book a vet if you see pain, swelling, redness that worsens, blood, dark discharge or a head tilt. Those are signs a cleaning rinse cannot address.

## How often should I clean my pet’s ears?

Source guide: How to Clean Your Dog and Cat Ears at Home

One to two times a week is a good routine for most dogs and cats. Floppy eared and swimmer dogs may need it a little more often to stay ahead of wax.

## Is this safe for cats?
