HOW TO CLEAN YOUR DOG'S EAR?
The answer to this question is fairly
simple, you need to wash your dog's
teeth every day. Yes, that's right, and
although you heard that three times a
week is enough it isn't.
Make it positive
Teach your dog to let you handle his ears,
and use praise and treats to do so.
Get the right tools
Prepare cotton balls or gauze, gloves,
and an ear rinse.
Prepare everything
It is important to have everything you need
within the hands reach so you don't have to
stop in the middle of the ear cleaning.
Cleaning the ears
Start cleaning them from the outside and
slowly work your way inside, stop once you
start feeling the resistance.
Use tweezers
If your pooch has hair growing
from his ears you will need to tweeze
it once in every few weeks.
