WESTMONT, Ill., Aug. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Ear infections are among the top health issues seen among dogs in animal shelters, rescues, humane societies and animal sanctuaries across the U.S. According to Nationwide Insurance, pet medical claims for ear infections were the #2 most common medical condition to prompt a visit to the veterinarian in 2017.

These infections can cause a myriad of symptoms, including: pain, discharge, irritability and even hearing loss if left untreated. Ear infections can also make it more challenging for shelters to adopt out afflicted dogs.

To assist animals suffering from ear infections and increase adoptions of rescued dogs, pet health products company Pet King Brands, Inc. today announced it donated 12,000 bottles of ZYMOX PLUS Advanced Otic ear products, marking the company's largest donation to date. The novel product is part of the enzymatic family of products for the successful management of pet ear infections.

Dedication to animals in need is not new for Pet King as they have employed an animal advocate for nearly 10 years. The position has grown into an entire department dedicated to Cause Marketing and is a guiding principal of Pet King President Pamela K. Bosco.

"We receive stories all the time regarding the impact ZYMOX has had on pet ear health. We are also aware that shelters are overcrowded and under-funded with a large pet population suffering from painful ear infections," Bosco said. "We realized we could help on a large scale. We want pets to become more adoptable, sooner. Plus, ZYMOX is very easy to use, which reduces the demands on the shelter staff."

Pet King Brands will continue to help in the cause of promoting pet adoptions, reducing homeless pets and supporting pets in shelters through other substantial donations in the future.
