The dog's ear canal is covered with abundant ear hair. If it is not cleaned regularly, it is easy to produce dirt. In severe cases, it can cause ear mites. A normal ear canal should be clean, odorless, dirt-free, and pink. If your dog often shakes his head unnaturally and scratches his ears with his paws, it means that his ears are uncomfortable and need to be cleaned. So how to clean your dog’s ears?

Cleaning method:

You can first use an alcohol cotton ball to wipe the dog's external auditory canal clean, and observe whether there is dirt deep inside the ear. If there is any, use a cotton swab to gently wipe it out. If the dirt is hard and difficult to wipe out, leave it alone for now. Be careful not to insert it too deep, otherwise the dog will shake its head in discomfort. If you are not careful, you will injure the dog's inner ear. Then use pet-specific ear-dropping oil to put 2 drops into the dog's ear. Cover the ear and gently massage the ear for 1 minute. Then look inside the ear. At this time, there is hard earwax. It will become soft and can be wiped out with a cotton swab.

Ear cleaning should be done once a week. If your dog's ears have become red, swollen, itchy, have a strong smell, and have a lot of earwax, they should be cleaned once a day. After 3 days, there will be obvious improvement, and then the frequency will be gradually reduced until the ears are completely normal.

Note:

When the dog’s ear canal is first cleaned, the dog will resist because he is not used to it. At this time, the owner should not give up. Two people can join hands, one holding the dog's head to prevent it from moving, and the other cleaning. Be sure to comfort the dog softly while cleaning, and talk to the dog softly when massaging the ears. This can calm down its emotions, and over time, the dog will enjoy it very much.

The ear hair in the dog's ear canal should also be trimmed appropriately, because if the ear hair is too dense, it will affect ventilation and cause inflammation in the ear. The "Lady's Eyebrow Trimmer" is very practical to use here. Just pinch the ears with your hands, then place the eyebrow trimmer on the inner ear hair and press it against the ear skin to trim the hair.

When trimming the edges, you should pay attention to your gestures and move slowly, trimming layer by layer until you reach the skin. At this time, the dog will cooperate with you very well, because it will never hurt the dog.

The outside of the ears is the outer surface. You cannot use an eyebrow trimmer. You need to use a special trimmer for dogs, which only costs a few yuan. The reason is that if the eyebrow trimmer is trimmed closely, the hair will be too short, affecting the appearance. Because of its special structure, the trimming knife can trim the dog's hair very well.
