How to clean dog ears Cleaning dog ears is very important

The importance of cleaning ears

Dog ears are usually prone to inflammation, and in severe cases, bleeding, pus, redness, swelling, hearing loss, etc. may even occur. If there is a problem with the auricle, it will be fine if treated in time. If there is a problem with the dog's ear canal, it will be relatively troublesome during diagnosis, treatment and recovery. Dogs have deep ear canals. In order to avoid complicated treatments after illness, it is very important to clean the earwax on a daily basis. It is best for owners to develop the habit of checking and cleaning their dogs frequently when they are young.

Methods for cleaning ears

The most common earwax cleaning methods are to use cotton swabs and ear cleaning solutions. Carefully brush away the hair around the dog's ears, and finally remove the earwax from the dog's ears. During the cleaning process, attention should be paid to careful and gentle movements. Dog earwax cleaning should be maintained 1-2 times a week. If the cleaned earwax is black, yellow or has a strong smell, you should take your dog to the doctor as soon as possible to avoid further deterioration of the condition.

Clean the ear hair regularly

In addition to cleaning the earwax, the dog’s ear hair also needs to be cleaned regularly. Otherwise, the dog's earwax cannot be discharged normally, thus damaging the ear canal environment and causing inflammation. Especially for dog breeds with thicker hair, such as Bichon Frize, Poodle, Yorkshire Terrier, and Collie, regular cleaning of ear hair is essential.
