    Tips on Cleaning Your Dog’s Ears

    Needs:

    Cotton Balls, Cleaner, Helper, Towel

    We will demonstrate how to properly clean your dogs ears. You will need the following:

    • Cotton balls
    • Cleaning solution (available at our clinic)
    • a helper
    • and a little patience

    While some dogs may behave through the process, others won’t. Recruit an assistant to help hold your dog’s head still while following the steps.

    First, saturate a cotton ball with the cleaning fluid. You may want to squeeze the cotton ball and get some of the fluid into the ear to loosen things up. Then massage the ear to break up any wax or debris, then wipe out the ear canal with the cotton ball.

    Once you have dirtied up the cotton, prepare a fresh cotton ball and repeat the wiping out of the ear. Repeat until clean.

    For smaller dogs you can place them on a towel on a table or for larger dogs you may want to get set up on the floor.

    Let’s review: Wet a cotton ball with cleaning solution, moisten and loosen debris in the ear. Wipe clean. Repeat with fresh cotton.

    Thanks for watching this episode of Canine Corner.
