Cleaning Your Dog's Ears

Here is our routine for cleaning a dog's ears:

  1. Mix 50/50 vinegar and water.
  2. Fill a 20 to 50 CC syringe (without the needle).
  3. Inject it into the ear. (Not so fast that you would cause damage! Don't force it as so as not to block the air that comes out or hard enough to damage the dog's eardrum!)
  4. Massage it for 60 seconds.
  5. Clean the ear with cotton balls (not q-tips or cotton swabs)
  6. If the dog requires medications, add them in after this application.

With dogs that seem to have constant ear problems, clean their ears at least once a week.
