The biggest feature of the Beagle is that it has a pair of large hanging ears. Because of the special structure of their ears, Beagles are more likely to develop earwax than some other pet dogs. In severe cases, ear mites will breed and cause inflammation of the ear canal. In the process of raising a beagle, you should take care of its ears regularly and perform necessary cleaning to ensure that the ears of the beagle are clean and healthy.

The two big ears on the top of the head of the Beagle hang down on both sides of the head. The big ears cover the ear canal, making the ear canal unventilated and easy to accumulate grease, dust and moisture. Once it is not used for a long time, Bacteria can easily breed during cleaning, causing an unpleasant odor to emit from the ear canal. Generally speaking, it is best for parents to check the Beagle’s ears once a week and clean them when necessary.

Cleaning the ear canal of a beagle is not a difficult task, because the dog is relatively small. First of all, it is easier to control the dog, but it is not as difficult as large dogs. Steer and control. Of course, you must prepare relevant cleaning tools before cleaning the ear canal. For example, cotton swabs, alcohol cotton balls, 3% sodium bicarbonate ear drops or 2% boric acid water, ear hair plucking powder, ear hair plucking scissors (you need to buy professional pet ear hair plucking scissors.)

After stabilizing the Beagle’s body and head, it’s time to take action. First, sprinkle some ear-pulling powder into the ear canal, then hold the dog's ears and gently knead the ear canal to better utilize the effect of the ear-pulling powder. After 1-2 minutes, you can start using scissors. The ears of the beagle were plucked. Note that when plucking ear hair, it is best to pull it out in small handfuls. It should be done quickly and steadily, so as to cause the least pain to the beagle.

After plucking the ear hair, if there is still earwax, drop some 3% sodium bicarbonate ear drops or 2% boric acid water into the dog’s ear canal, and then knead it gently. After the earwax has softened, gently remove the earwax with tweezers or cotton swabs, and finally clean it with a clean cotton swab. Note that when cleaning earwax, tweezers and cotton swabs should not go too deep into the ear canal to prevent puncturing the dog's eardrum or scratching the ear canal mucosa.
