Cleaning Your Dogs Ears



  1. Use an ear wash formulated for ear cleaning. It's important to never use undiluted peroxide on your pet's ears as it may cause burning.

  2. Soak a cotton ball thoroughly in the ear wash. Squeeze out excess ear wash.

  3. Place the cotton ball in your dog's ear and gently rub up and down.

  4. Allow your dog to shake off excess moisture. This is important for preventing ear infections.

  5. Soak the tip of a cotton swab in the ear wash and run it along the nooks and crannies of your dog's ears.

  6. Avoid putting the swab down your dog's ear canal; leave this type of cleaning to the veterinary medical staff.



Tips & Warnings

  • Never use pure undiluted peroxide on your pets ears. The peroxide can harm your dog!
  • If your dog has chronic ear infections, consult a veterinarian. Chronic ear infections could be a sign of allergies or other problems.
  • If the ear canal looks abnormal, clean only the outside and consult a vet.
