Ear Health

Dogs need their ears cleaned to ensure good ear hygiene. Read this blog for some tips on what you can do.

All dogs need their ears cleaned regularly to ensure good ear hygiene. If your dog’s ears are neglected, this can lead to a painful inner ear infection and an unhappy pooch.

In fact, ear cleaning is even more important if you have a dog with furry or long and droopy ears where airflow is restricted. This can trap debris and moisture creating a breeding ground for bacteria.

Floppy-eared breeds like Cocker Spaniels, Basset Hounds and Golden Retrievers, and furry-eared breeds like Miniature Schnauzers and Bishon Frises are more prone to ear infections.

So you should always watch out for excess debris, wax and yeast build up in your dog’s ears, as they can quickly turn into a nasty infection. But the best course of action to keep problems at bay, is to make ear cleaning a part of your dog’s grooming routine. It’s a fool-proof way to keep your pooch happy and their ears healthy.
