Healthy Ear Care Routine
📅 Published: June 27, 2024| ⏱️ 5 min read | 🏷️ Health
Ears trap moisture, pollen, and yeast. Keep them fresh with gentle flushes and fast ID of infection red flags.
Supplies & Frequency
- Choose vet-approved ear flushes with drying agents.
- Clean weekly for floppy ears, biweekly for prick ears, and always after swimming.
Cleaning Steps
- Fill the ear canal with solution until it almost overflows.
- Massage the base for 20 seconds to loosen debris.
- Let your pet shake, then wipe visible gunk with gauze (never cotton swabs).
Watch for Problems
Redness, foul odor, head tilting, or pain requires a vet visit—do not self-treat severe infections.
Record ear condition in your grooming journal so you can spot patterns tied to allergies or weather.
