This is very true that they are vulnerable to ear infections. Luckily, it’s simple to scrub their ears at home.There are a few vital things that you must need to know about dogs’ ears:
First. They’re sensitive so that they need a regular checkup to avoid infections.
Second. They don’t like getting their ears cleaned, so you have to work little hard with them.
Third. If you don’t do it the right way, you’ll cause some serious harm.
Fourth. Never use Q-tips to clean the ears neither of small dogs nor big dogs because they can damage the eardrum.
Fifth. Don’t forcefully insert the nozzle of the bottle inside the ear and never pour the solution straight down in the vertical ear canal. Just pour it along the sidewall of the ear.
This question must have come into your mind many times. So today, i’ll answer you question – Why cleanse a dog’s ear?
That’s a problem if your dog scratches his or her ears constantly because the bacteria or yeast has bred in their ears. Continuous scratching can result in lesions and open wounds. So, It is necessary to treat the infection as if it is left to escalate, it will progress to the middle or inner ear, which can affect their balance and hearing. So, early prevention can save them from experiencing unnecessary pain and further complications later on
How to spot the problem
If you see an unusual behavior like Excessive ear scratching or head shaking or notice anything like
1. Redness inside the ear flap
2. A musty odor
3. Discharge
4. Swelling
5. Off balance
6. Reduced hearing ability
7. Vomiting and nausea
Then it’s time to book an appointment with your vet.
Now
Get prepared.
First, before start cleaning, examine your dog’s ear. This will give you an idea of how dirty they are and do they need a cleanup or not.
This cleanup job is a messy job which makes you and your surrounding area dirty as dogs tend to shake their head during the procedure. So, The best place to clean their ears is in the tub or outside and it is a great thing to do just before a bath.
What all you need?
We’re going to need 5 things:
Ear cleaning solution: Make sure the cleanser contains no antibiotics, steroids, alcohol, or toxic materials of any kind, as they can cause irritation and should be at room temperature as dogs don’t like it cool.
Cotton balls: To clean the inside of both ears.
Towel: I’m sure you don’t want ear muck and solution all over on you or your sofa.
Grooming forceps: To pluck the ear hair as they block the air flow and traps wax which promotes the infection or bacteria to breed.
Treats: Give treats every time after each step for being so cooperative and a good dog throughout the process.
Let’s get to the nasty work
The first thing to do is keep all the things within your reach because I’m sure you don’t wanna start over the whole process from the halfway.
The very first step is to Create a calm environment and make them feel relaxed by gently petting them. Start slowly ‘n’ smoothly and offer them treats while you touch their ears.
Second step.
Hold the ear flap up straight and insert the nozzle into the ear near the opening and gently squeeze the bottle to fill the canal with cleanser.
Third step.
Bring your hands down the base of the ear which is the bottom part of the ear where cartilage can be felt. Massage gently for 20-30 seconds which will ensure the solution reaches all parts of the inner ear and releases stubborn debris.
The fourth step is ‘Shake it off!’
Your dog will shake his/her head vigorously, tossing all the dirt and cleanser with it. You might turn away or hold up a towel for this part. Now you know why I suggested the bathroom.
The Last step
Now clean all the muck from the ear flap and around the ear opening with a moistened cotton in water or gauze with your finger to wipe out the ear canal and finish by drying their head off.
Give treats and plenty of praise: But stop if your dog’s ear begins to get red or bleed or they seem to be in pain.
And it’ done.

I urge everyone to use Dr Alaho Olu herbal supplements on YouTube because he cured my HSV 2 and HPV.. He cures multiple Fibroids too..
the outside of my belgian malinois ear has dark spots not the inside (canal) the outside. i try cleaning it but nothing comes off is that just his skin color now?
There’s something in my Chihuahuas ear seams like a tick and my husband uses a q tip it makes her cry and me I tell him to stop and everything
Does this really work? I have a lab pit mix and I’ve had to take him to the vet three times for yeast infections, I can’t keep spending hundreds of dollars for five days of treatment when he gets these all the time. I’m desperate at this point
Thanks for the scene from the fly for no god damn reason.
Can u use peroxide?
And, perhaps add a warning to be careful when drying ht hair after cleaning not to be close as not everyone at home has a proper dog grooming dryer such as that shown in the video. Otherwise, it’s really helpful. 🙂
Dear God…….intro is way too long…..Q-Tips????? No way!!!
I like how they show someone using a q-tip to clean out their dog’s ear, and then 20 second later say you should never use a q-tip.
My dog is hella hyper with me- he’s so good with vets but is bad with other dogs so i cant take him to get groomed- nor do i have the money, i want to do it by myself but he likes to jump around and doesnt like his ears being touched
Very_Thankfull_videos…. thaqqqqqq 👏
My dog is short haired , so we don’t need forceps but I’ll get some anyway
In the tub or outside I know I wouldn’t want to be in the tub or outside the dogs already scared they’re in pain you grab a damn blanket and you sit on the couch and you keep yourself clean as much as you can but the only damn thing that matters is their safety from trauma
My dog loves having his ears scratched so hopefully he’ll let me clean them🤞 thanks for the info
Video starts at 2:10
One thing that helps my dog who has frequent wax i warm the solution i place it between my legs for about 10 min shake bottle warm again he really hates it cold stops a lot of his fighting.
Thanks its very helpful ❤️❤️❤️
Some vet discourage plucking ear hair, check with your vet 1st please.
So what’s in the cleansers ? I have at least 5 different ones ? 🤦🏾♀️
Very well done. Appreciate the step-by-step instructions.
My puppy ear has redness what should i do
I am so glad you said Don’t use alcohol in the ear cleanser. I can’t believe on Utube the people cleaning their dogs ears use alcohol and vinegar and recommend they use it. I am sure people watching the demonstration do use what they say to use. As you would know this would cause severe burning and only add to it if there was an infection.

Thank you so much for your video
You said not to squirt it into the canal then said to put it into the canal.
way too long of useless info.
I’m a first time dog mom. My dog has been scratching 1 ear and it looks pretty red and dirty. A vet quoted me almost $300 without even seeing her (dog)! Is it really this expensive? My gosh!
My dog is having a problem with a itchy ear I hope it works 🙁
What if your dog wont shake her head after putting solution in.
My dog already has ear infection
everyone’s going to just act like they didnt see that @ 0:48
my dog gets too excited so it’s nearly impossible
Mostly a very informative video but at the opening shot and at 20 seconds in, someone is using a Q-tip in the dogs ear. Later on in the video you say that’s a no-no. And I already knew it was, I cringed when I saw that cleaning going on. Other than that, informative and entertaining. Thanks.
There are a lot of contradictory information in this video, one of them is the recommended product which contains alcohol, also the way to apply the solution directly into the canal..
My akitas right ear stinks. Im so worried, man
V dont have a dog. And I dont intend to have one at home.
Yeah did book a damn appointment they wanna charge. $45 just for the exam and $200 to clean her ears out smh like fuck I don’t got that kinda money just need my dog fixed.
Thanks for the info. I’ll try doing this with my dog
Unrealistic. Very few dogs sit still while you have a Q-tip in your hand!
What if I wanted to use water solution and white distilled vinegar for her ear she’s a pup and had very dirty ears and I don’t want to harm her
What are you talking about Q-tips are the best thing to use as long as your not sticking them down the dog’s ear’s deep especially a wet Q-tip my dog love’s it and let’s me use them I always use a flash light so I can see what I am doing if your not a moron Q-tips are perfect I don’t know why the internet gives out bad information I hear alot thst Q-tips are bad bit there made to clean out ears 🤪🤷♂️ of Crouse don’t shave them down any ear but they clean way better then any cloth.
Very helpful video despite the annoying cutaways.
Well Thanks for your efforts. Out of love for my dog I suffered the horrible irritation of the pathetic whistling sound. Also the flakey videos and the fact that you show cue tips in the ears then say Never do what you just showed being done made me wonder of your intel. I am sure we can do better.
My puppy hates getting her ears cleaned
Nein, nein, nein, nein. Niemals Ohren beim Hund reinigen, die sind selbstreinigend. OMG wie agressiv "Sie" mit dem Wattebausch da dran gehen geht überhaupt nich. Die Schleimhaut ist super empfindlich und brennt höllisch wenn sie gereizt oder der gesamte Wachs entfernt wird und Sie tun dem Hund keinen Gefallen. Einfach nur schlimm dieses gefährliche Halbwissen..
Usually when people come on here they’re upset they’re how to charge at the vet and really is depressing to have to even go through please like the video just be that one person that makes videos and gets to the point you know it’s like so many people want to help but they’re helping themselves and far more detrimental ways that you don’t want to tell
Only a fully qualified vet or vet tech should EVER use cue tips (which are shown in the introductory video!!)
You need to change the video to match the info being given.
Thank you so much. The video was great explaining how to clean my dog’s ear. I really wanted to know if you can use peroxide instead of the ear drops that I can’t afford right now.
Thanks. Exactly what I need. Last time the vet cleaned his ears it seemed really rough.
1. Consider killing some of that music in your videos, especially that high-pitched whistle! That hurt MY ears as I watched this. 2. Why do you show someone digging into a dog’s ear with what looks like a Qtip at 25 seconds in, when you later say NO Qtips? 3. A slower pace and less cutesy visuals would be appreciated. I don’t need to see zombies or Neil Patrick Harris.
Now I’m going to go look for a better video.
