Cleaning Dog Ears

Learning how to clean dog ears is rarely at the top of a dog owner’s to-do list, but it’s an important way to prevent some common health problems. Bacteria and yeast, can lead to serious infections.First check for infections:

  • inflammation or swelling in or around the ear canal
  • any type of dirty-looking discharge
  • strong, foul odor
  • ears are sensitive to touch
  • If your dogs ears are clean but look dirty you can clean them very easily. Put a generous amount of cleaner in each ear and massage the base of the ears for thirty seconds. Then let your dog shake his head. Wipe the visible part of the inner ears with a cotton ball or tissue to remove any excess cleaner. Don’t use a Q-tip in your dog’s ear; it could damage his ear drum
