Things You'll Need
- Cotton
- Dog ear cleaning solution
- Towel
- Ear drying powder
Instructions
Take a ball of cotton and wet it. Squeeze out excess water. Use the moist cotton ball to clean the dirt you can see on the inside of the ear lobes.
Squirt a good amount of cleaning solution into each ear to get rid of ear wax buildup and other debris. Massage the base of the ear for about 30 seconds. Allow the dog to shake its head to get rid of the solution from inside the ear.
Dry the ear with a towel to get rid of any remaining solution. A moist ear is a conducive environment for bacterial or fungal growth.
Dust the ear with ear drying powder to prevent growth of microorganisms and odor.
Clean your dog's ears once a month. If your dog spend a lot of time playing in water, clean the ears once a week. Make ear cleaning a regular part of your dog's grooming routine to prevent future ear problems.
