SOUND FAMILIAR?
Sometimes, the Smallest Signs Get Your Attention
Ear concerns may start with little changes in your pet's everyday behavior.
🐶
Frequent Head Shaking
You notice your dog shaking their head more often than usual.
🐾
Scratching Around the Ears
Your pet repeatedly paws at or rubs the area around an ear.
💧
Visible Wax or Odor
You notice buildup or an unusual smell during your pet's regular grooming.
Important: Persistent head shaking, redness, pain, odor or discharge may indicate an ear problem that needs veterinary attention.
WHY A ROUTINE MATTERS
Ear Care Shouldn't Have to Feel Complicated
A consistent, gentle approach can make routine grooming easier to manage.
Why Improvised Cleaning Can Be Frustrating
Trying to reach inside an ear with ordinary cotton swabs or improvised tools can be risky. Pushing material into the ear canal may cause irritation or injury.
For routine cleaning, use a product specifically intended for pets and follow the labeled instructions or your veterinarian's guidance.

How often should I clean my pet's ears?
Cleaning frequency depends on your pet. Some pets need occasional cleaning, while others need a veterinarian-recommended routine. Avoid unnecessary overcleaning.
Does ear cleaner treat an ear infection?
Routine ear cleaners are not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment of an infection. If you notice persistent odor, redness, discharge, pain or repeated head shaking, contact your veterinarian.
