Cleaning Dogs’ Ears

Dogs are predisposed to ear issues as they have a long, narrow L-shaped ear canal. It’s estimated 20% of dogs suffer from ear infections. Prevention is key so it’s important to regularly check and clean your dog’s ears. We recommend taking a peak while you’re snuggling up on the couch watching your favorite show or the big game. If you have any concerns about your dog’s ears it’s important to follow up quickly to avoid any concerns turning into a larger issue.

The best way to keep your dog’s ears clean and healthy is with routine care and cleaning. At Scenthound, ear washing is one of the five core areas of care we provide with every wellness and grooming visit. And after every groom you’ll receive our S.C.E.N.T. Check report with details of the visit, so you can stay informed and track any concerns over time.
