Comments on How to Clean a Dog's Ears

Great instructions and be careful.

Great information and great article.

i need to get a dog! 5*

Good instructions. Also important for dogs with cocker-type ears: when you bathe the dog, gently stuff cotton balls into their ears to prevent excess water from entering their ear canals. Dogs with cocker-type ear flaps are highly susceptible to "swimmer's ear" (yeast infections of the ear) because the ear flap impedes drying.

With cockers, you have to get the cleaner deep in the canal and massage the base of their ear for 60 seconds; then you have to apply drying powder.

tep or thornit are a great way of making the ears unfriendly environments for those pesky mites. Use when the ears are healthy, not when there is infection or canker though
