How To Clean Your Dogs Ears

Bath time can be hard enough but trying to figure out the best way to clean your dogs ears is an added stressor. Below you will find the best way to keep your dogs ears clean.

You want to get a ear cleaning solution recommended by a vet. This solution will be going inside your dogs ear canal so ensure you’re using a good quality product that is vet approved. This isn’t an item you want to be guessing with and just grabbing the cheapest option. The safest option for your pet is to get a product your vet suggests.

You will need cotton balls. Not Q-tips. Make sure you stay away from the Q-tips and instead opt for cotton balls. These are the safest option to ensure you don’t accidentally harm your dog.

You will follow the instructions on the bottle of the solution and poor the intended amount into your dogs ear. Gently massage the outer ear canal to ensure the solution spreads around and grabs on to debris. Then use the cotton balls to gently wipe away the solution and any debris.

Always make sure to end with a treat! This keeps the process rewarding for your dog.
