Oregano oil combats ear infections
Antimicrobial activity of thyme oil, oregano oil, thymol and carvacrol against sensitive and resistant microbial isolates from dogs with otitis externa.
Directly related to dog treatment
We explored the effectiveness of oregano oil and thyme oil in treating ear infections in dogs, specifically looking at their active ingredients, carvacrol and thymol. The study aimed to determine if these essential oils could effectively combat bacteria and fungi responsible for otitis externa, a common condition in dogs that can be caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens.
To do this, we conducted a thorough analysis of 100 bacterial and fungal isolates from infected dogs. These included strains of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, which can be meticillin-resistant, as well as others like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Malassezia pachydermatis. We measured their susceptibility to these oils using established laboratory techniques to find their minimum effective concentrations.
The findings were promising: oregano oil, thyme oil, carvacrol, and thymol demonstrated strong antibacterial and antifungal properties against the tested isolates. This suggests that these natural substances hold potential for treating canine ear infections, especially those caused by resistant strains. Overall, this study encourages further research into their use in veterinary medicine, advocating for their potential benefit in real-world scenarios.

Oregano oil shows potential in ear infections
In Vitro Antimicrobial Activity of , , and Their Mixture against Clinical Isolates Responsible for Canine Otitis Externa.
Moderate relevance to treatment efficacy
We investigated whether essential oils, particularly oregano oil, could effectively treat ear infections in dogs. The study focused on testing the antimicrobial effects of oregano (Origanum vulgare), along with two other essential oils, against various bacteria and yeasts involved in canine ear infections.
In total, we tested these oils against 47 bacterial strains, such as Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas, and five strains of the yeast Malassezia pachydermatis. The results were promising, especially for the Gram-positive bacteria, which showed sensitivity to the oregano oil and other essential oils. Their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ranged from 1.25% to less than 0.0195%, indicating effectiveness against these infections.
However, when it came to Gram-negative bacteria, particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the oils were less effective, with MICs suggesting limited activity. Interestingly, the mixture of the three oils showed effectiveness against nearly all tested isolates, making it a potential alternative for treating stubborn cases of otitis externa where conventional treatments fall short.
Overall, our exploration of oregano and other essential oils in treating ear infections highlights their potential as valuable alternatives when faced with resistant infections in dogs.

Prevented ear infections
Good Stuff! This is more affordable than buying it in the grocery store. It works excellently for my needs. I constantly battle swimmer's ear and ear infections, but taking Oregano Oil is the best preventative I’ve found. This brand has worked the best for me.

Cured dog's ear infections
This was for my 14-year-old bulldog, who was prone to ear infections. I didn't want to keep giving him medications. In our experience, this helped stop his ear infections, and he even regained some hearing after they ceased.

Prevention of infections
I take oregano oil at the first sign of a cold, and it has helped me avoid getting as ill as I might otherwise. As an asthmatic, I often suffer from chest infections, but I find that oregano oil prevents me from getting them. I also take it alongside 1000mg of vitamin C.
