Dogs need to have their ears cleaned just like humans do, but certain precautions need to be taken so that no infections follow as a result

Step 1:
Use an ear wash formulated for ear cleaning.

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

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

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

Step 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.

Step 6:
Avoid putting the swab down your dog's ear canal; leave this type of cleaning to the veterinarian.

NOTE:

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.
