Question Preventative Ear Drops

If I had known that would be a side benefit, I would have doped him up years ago!
Fortunately our dog is not prone to ear infections. I have been very curious about swimmer's ear prevention drops for humans - would they work on our canine friends too? Has anyone tried them?
