Your Questions, Answered

You ask and we answer! FAQs about the Apothecary line.

Can I use Clean Ears to treat an ear infection?

Clean Ears is not a treatment for active ear infections, but it is a powerful way to support ear health and comfort. If there are signs of an infection, it’s important to see your veterinarian for proper diagnosis and care. Where Clean Ears shines is in daily care, early support, and ongoing maintenance. Why pet parents love Clean Ears: It’s made with a thoughtful blend of botanicals chosen to gently cleanse, soothe, and support the ear environment: Calendula & Chamomile – calm irritated skin and help ease discomfort Aloe Vera – hydrates and supports delicate ear tissue Witch Hazel – gently cleanses and helps remove buildup Mullein Oil & St. John’s Wort – traditionally used to comfort sensitive ears Grapefruit Seed Extract – helps keep the ear environment balanced Garlic infused in Olive Oil – supports overall ear wellness Together, these ingredients help create a cleaner, ear environment, one that’s less inviting to buildup and imbalance.

What Clean Ears does NOT do:

  • Treat active bacterial or yeast infections
  • Replace veterinary diagnosis and treatment
  • Address underlying causes of chronic ear problems

Best used for: Regular ear maintenance After swimming or bathing During allergy season Supporting ears after veterinary care When to see your veterinarian: If you notice redness, odor, discharge, swelling, head shaking, or sensitivity—those are signs your pet needs medical attention.

  • Red, inflamed ears
  • Strong odor
  • Discharge (yellow, brown, or bloody)
  • Head shaking or scratching
  • Pain when ears are touched

Best use:

  • Regular maintenance: 1-2 times weekly
  • After swimming or bathing
  • During allergy season when ears may be more prone to issues
  • After veterinary treatment, as ongoing prevention

Key ingredients: Calendula, chamomile, witch hazel, aloe vera, grapefruit seed extract, mullein oil, St. John's wort, garlic in olive oil.

Can I put Clean Eyes directly in my pet's eye?

Clean Eyes is a gentle, effective way to care for the delicate area around the eyes, helping keep it clean, calm, and comfortable. But it should not be added directly into the eye. How to use Clean Eyes: Shake well Saturate a cotton ball Gently wipe away debris from around the eye Pat the area clean Use daily as needed What it’s for:

  • Cleansing and removing discharge around the eyes
  • Helping reduce tear staining
  • Soothing delicate skin
  • Supporting a clean, balanced eye area with botanicals like lavender, eyebright, and aloe

  • Treating eye infections or injuries
  • Flushing the eye itself
  • Moderate to severe eye issues

When to see your veterinarian:

  • Redness in the eye itself
  • Cloudiness or color changes
  • Squinting or pawing
  • Yellow or green discharge
  • Any injury to the eye

Key ingredients: Lavender hydrosol, eyebright infusion, aloe vera, grapefruit seed extract

Is the Skin Herbal Relief Ointment safe if my pet licks it?

Skin Herbal Relief Ointment is crafted with gentle, plant-based ingredients designed to soothe and support the skin. A little licking happens, and small amounts are generally okay. But like any topical, it’s best to let it absorb so it can do its job. Why it works (and why it’s so soothing): A thoughtful blend of botanicals chosen to calm, comfort, and protect: Plantain & Chickweed , help quiet irritation and support skin recovery Calendula – known for calming and soothing sensitive or stressed skin St. John’s Wort (Hypericum) – traditionally used to comfort and restore Lavender – helps relax and gently support skin balance Olive Oil & Beeswax – deeply moisturize and create a protective barrier Vitamin E – nourishes and supports healthy skin Together, they help soften, soothe, and protect where your dog or cat needs it most. If your dog or cat licks it:

  • Small amounts are unlikely to cause harm
  • Ingredients are plant-based and thoughtfully selected
  • But larger amounts aren’t ideal, this is meant for the skin, not as a treat

Tips to minimize licking:

  • Apply a thin layer and massage it in well
  • Distract with a treat, walk, or playtime
  • Apply before meals or rest time
  • For paws, apply before bedtime
  • Use a recovery cone if needed

Great for:

  • Hot spots
  • Dry, cracked paws
  • Minor irritations or rashes
  • Bug bites
  • Noses and skin folds

When to see your veterinarian: if irritation worsens, spreads, or doesn’t improve within a few days

Accountability is not a destination.
This is where we are so far.

B Corp certification. Plastic neutral. 1% for the planet. These are not just badges. They are commitments with consequences. As a public benefit corporation, our obligations to people, animals, and planet are in our charter. And we are not done yet.

Forty-five years of refusing to settle.

Two founders. One conviction. A refusal to accept what this industry calls good enough. Dr. Bob Goldstein on the science. Susan Goldstein on the conscience.

Over decades of holistic veterinary practice, Dr. Bob saw the same thing again and again: animals responding to plant-based support in ways that conventional medicine had overlooked. That experience became the foundation for Apothecary: a range of herbal supplements formulated with clinical intent, built around the eight most common wellness needs, and designed to work gently with your pet's biology rather than override it. Time-honored botanicals, held to a modern veterinary standard. 

Family owned since 1979, still guided by the same belief that started it all: that the animals we love deserve far better than they're usually offered.
