SHELTIE EAR TAPE:   Ideal for Taping Ears - Imported from Japan - Recommended by Top Breeders. A favorite of both Sheltie and Collie Breeders and Pet Owners. Quickly becoming popular with several other breeds, including Corgis, Dobermans, Terriers, Border Collies, German Shepherds, and others.

bullet

ANDOVER MOLESKIN (XT HEAVY):  A replacement for MEDFIX MOLESKIN. Preferred by Sheltie and Collie breeders alike for training ears. Use with DOC BRANNEN'S GROOMING ADHESIVE or TORBOT LIQUID BOND CEMENT and Jiffy Sew. We provide detailed instructions with each shipment. 
Note:  Medfix has changed their Moleskin and it is now a much lighter weight with a different adhesive. We find that the Extra Heavy Andover Moleskin is a superior quality for use training ears.

bullet

LATEX BACKED MOLESKIN (Heavy) 
The only Latex Backed Moleskin currently available. Similar to the discontinued J&J or MedLine Moleskin. Best used with an adhesive spray (such as DOC BRANNEN'S or TUF-SKIN) or TORBOT LIQUID BOND CEMENT.We provide detailed instructions with each shipment. 
 

bullet

JIFFY SEW:  Popular 'fabric' glue used to train ears to tip. We like to use it with moleskin and glue the moleskin to moleskin (see instructions)

bullet

DOC BRANNEN'S GROOMING ADHESIVE:  
Many people prefer to use moleskin for their ear training needs. DOC BRANNEN'S GROOMING ADHESIVE is a safe and effective adhesive spray to use with moleskin to improve adhesion of the moleskin to the ear.

bullet

CRAMER TUF-SKIN ADHESIVE:  Spray sparingly on the sticky side of Japanese tape or moleskin to improve adhesion. Great for beginner's or for those cases where it just won't stick. Will not irritate the ear - fast becoming a favorite !!

 

bullet

TORBOT LIQUID BOND CEMENT:  Just paint it on the sticky side of either the Moleskin or the Japanese tape before you place it in the ear to improve the adhesion. It dries quickly and holds securely. Contains latex. 4 oz can.

bullet

DETACHOL SURGICAL ADHESIVE REMOVER: 
The longer the sheltie ear tape is in the ear, the stickier it gets. DETACHOL helps remove the Sheltie Ear Tape and cleans out residual adhesive from the ear.

bullet

ZO-EZE:  Great for cleaning ears just before you put in either the moleskin or tape. Clean the ear with Zo-eze on a cotton ball, the clean with rubbing alcohol and let dry. Available in a 16 oz bottle.

bullet

MEDI-SOL ADHESIVE REMOVER:  An alternate adhesive tape remover - available as a non-aerosol spray. Non-irritating, natural citrus odor.

 

bullet

UNI-SOLVE WIPES:  Individually packaged wipes to remove adhesive from the ears. Great for that quick pre-show clean up. 50 wipes.

bullet

ALCOHOL WIPES:  Individually packaged 70% isopropyl alcohol wipes. Great for cleaning ears before putting in tape or moleskin. Or use after cleaning the ears with adhesive remover to remove the oily residue. A must addition to your tack box.  100 wipes.
