Ear Cleaning Cleaning your dog’s ears should be part of the regular hygiene routine to promote your pet’s health and prevent infections. For some dogs, especially the ones with floppy ears, this might mean a cleanup every week, while for others, once a month is enough.

To determine this, just check in once a week to see if there is a buildup of wax or dirt in your dog’s ears. By keeping your dog’s ears clean you will prevent infections, get rid of ear mites, remove organic matter, and maintain healthy bacteria balance.
