Dog Ear Care
It is important to maintain the ear health of dogs, just like maintaining their hair and nails. Routine cleaning of the ears can prevent ear infections by removing wax, debris and sebum. Ask a veterinarian or a groomer how to clean your dog’s ear.
- Ear Cleansers help to rinse and clean out the ear canal. Select a product that is made for dogs, and recommended by veterinarians.
- After applying the cleanser, use cotton balls or pads to remove any debris.
- Ear Powder can be used to prepare the ear canals of dogs that have excess hair for plucking.
- Hemostats are useful for removing excess hair on ears. Make sure that you have been trained before you try this.
- Ear medication can be prescribed by your vet for dogs suffering from ear problems such as infection or ear mites.
