Allergy season means one thing around here: a whole lot of itchy ears and ear infections. The good news? Regular at-home cleaning makes a huge difference.
Here's our go-to method: soak a cotton ball completely in ear solution, tuck it into the ear, and gently squish until you hear that squelching sound - that's how you know it's actually getting into the canal. No need to go deep or use a Q-tip unless there's visible discharge. Wipe the outside, then let them shake it out - that's what dislodges the buildup from deep inside.
If your dog swims or has recurring issues, do this once a week (or after every swim). But if you ever see ulcerations, skip the DIY and bring them in. 💜
