A lot of people really like the BioGroom shampoo. The cleaner would be worth a try. I smelled the shampoo once though and the scent was so close to Skin So Soft. I'm not a fan, so the stuff doesn't come near my girl. I'm so picky that when talking about a medicated shampoo or cleaner, I'll have the vet open and smell first to make sure it's not gross.

Even if the ears look okay, it's never a bad idea for them to swab and see what they get if anything. If they are getting something, then cytology is needed since there is a smell.

Ugh, I can't stand the smell of Skin So Soft.

I use the Biogroom tearless puppy shampoo for the head and faces when I bathe the pups - it smells more like baby shampoo or soap to me. I haven't tried their other shampoos but I do like the Biogroom line, so this may be worth a try.

It's not the smell of the cleaners that bother me. They've all worked fine on my other pups. It's just that none have gotten rid of Chelsea's ear odor and that bugs me.

I'm really curious about the coconut oil, but Alexander used to have a problem with yeast infections so I learned I have to use something with a drying agent that will also leave the ear ph balanced. I need to find out more about the CO oil....I do love the smell of coconut.
