How to Clean a Dog's Ears
You know your dog loves a nice scratch behind his ears, but do you know that he also needs a good rubbing inside them? Regular cleanings are crucial for keeping your pet healthy. Ears can accumulate dirt and wax buildup, creating ideal conditions for the growth of bacteria, which may lead to a nasty ear infection. Avoid such problems by following these three simple steps to keep your dog's ears clean and healthy.

I've swabbed my english springer's outer and some of the inner ear using q-tips dipped in diluted (i.e. store-bought) hydrogen peroxide to good effect. I'm interested in trying the vinegar and water mixture followed by a bit of rubbing alcohol to help dry it out. Here in CO we have such a dry climate that I believe yeast infections in the ear may be less common, but it can't hurt.
