Ear care
Everything you need to know about ear care for dogs to keep their ears clean
Ear care for dogs supports the gentle cleaning of the ear flap and helps to reduce dirt, earwax or unpleasant odours. Dogs with floppy ears, thick fur around the ears or sensitive ears in particular benefit from regular checks and suitable care products.
Why ear care is important
Dog ears may require varying degrees of care depending on the breed and ear shape. With floppy ears, less air often reaches the ear canal, making it easier for heat and moisture to build up. Regular checks help to detect dirt early on and keep the ears clean.
Ear cleaners, care wipes and pads
Special ear cleaners, moist care wipes or soft pads are available for ear care. These are suitable for gently cleaning the outer ear area. It is important to use only products specifically designed for dogs and not to insert cotton buds deep into the ear canal.
Gentle care for sensitive dogs
The ears are very sensitive. Therefore, always clean them carefully and gradually get your dog used to being touched around the ear. If there is a strong odour, redness, frequent head shaking, scratching or discharge, the cause should be investigated by a vet.
Ear care as part of dog grooming
Ear care can be easily combined with regular coat and body grooming. Check your dog’s ears in calm moments and clean them only when necessary. This keeps grooming pleasant and supports your dog’s well-being.
