Vet's Best Dog Ear Cleaner Kit | Multi-Symptom Ear Relief | Wash & Dry Treatment | Alcohol-free

Product Information

Allow your dog to shake his head. This allows the remaining ear cleaning solution and debris from the ear canal to move out of the canal to the outer opening of the ear. Sit on the floor and have your dog sit in front of you with his rear end positioned between your legs. If you have a large breed dog, position him so he is sitting with his rear end in the corner of a room, with his one side against the wall. Stand on his other side. Your dog’s ears are not going to share the exact same shape with another pooch and certain breeds are more likely to develop ear infections. Breeds of dogs that have hairy ears or floppy ears are susceptible to infections and will often suffer from issues involving their ears.

This formula made the list because it is made to help reduce any inflammation that your pooch may have experienced from a mite infestation and the product eliminates all ear odours. You can use this cleaner on your dog’s ears daily without the worry that the product will become ineffective or cause problems for your pooch. If your dog’s ears have a foul odor, it’s a sign that there may be an infection or other issue. A professional can help determine the cause of the odor and provide treatment. 3. Pain or DiscomfortA] liquid ear cleaning solution is generally much more effective than wipes because dogs’ ear canals are quite long and narrow and actually have a right-angle shape,” explains Dr. Jamie Richardson, veterinarian and chief medical officer at Small Door Veterinary. “So wipes aren’t able to reach down into the canal to clean it.”

If you notice an excessive amount of earwax or discharge coming from your dog’s ears, it’s a sign that something is wrong. This could be a sign of an ear infection or other underlying condition. A professional can help diagnose the issue and provide appropriate treatment. 2. Unusual Odor One of the biggest misconceptions is that some individuals think that dog’s ears are just like our ears, but they are not. In fact, your dog’s ear canal bends differently than ours and if you are not careful, you can injure your dog. It is easy for debris and dirt to collect in your pooch’s ear because they have a specific right-angle bend in the shaft and canal. Made with floppy-eared dogs in mind like Spaniels, Poodles, Basset Hounds, Beagles, Retrievers, etc. Soothing: As already mentioned, some canine ear problems can cause the ears to become quite sore and inflamed. In this case, a dog ear cleanser that contains soothing ingredients is a great option. You might choose a product that contains natural anti-inflammatory ingredients, such as green tea or turmeric.Once you have removed excess hair and surface dirt, you can gently clean the ears with a medicated wash such as Chlorhexidine or another product recommended by your vet. Use the solution on damp cotton wool, and never get the ears wetter than they need to be, and do not pour or squirt water into the ears. You should aim to remove grit, dead skin, dirt and wax from the shell of the ear, but never poke anything into the ear canal itself, and do not scrub or dig around in the ear! The hair in a dog’s ear can serve as a line of defense against dirt, debris, and external contaminants. By removing this natural barrier, the ear might be more exposed to potential irritants. 4.
