Things You'll Need
- Peroxide
- Cotton balls
- Cotton swabs
- Dog treats
- Vinegar
- Water
Instructions
Mix one part vinegar, one part water into a small container and mix thoroughly.
Tell your dog to sit next to you, then hold onto its snout. Be gentle, yet firm.
Dip a cotton ball into the vinegar solution with your free hand. Clean out the inside of the ear with a few cotton balls. Then use a cotton swab to clear out wax buildup inside the ear canal. Don't put the cotton swab far down into the ear canal, because you can puncture the eardrum or it's possible to lose the cotton.
Use a dry cotton ball to do a final swipe of the ear. This will help dry the area, too. Steps 3 and 4 can be done to the other ear.
After both ears have been cleaned, give your dog a treat for obeying and sitting still.
