The routine
Clean ears in five simple steps
Five steps, a cotton ball, and a minute of your time.
Apply the ear wash
Lift the ear flap and apply 5–10 drops of Dog Ear Wash into the ear canal.

Massage the base
Gently massage the base of the ear for approximately 30 seconds. This helps distribute the solution and loosen wax and debris.
About 30 seconds
Let your dog shake
Release the ear and allow your dog to shake their head. This helps bring loosened material toward the outer ear.
Shaking is part of it
Wipe away debris
Use a clean cotton ball or our ear tips to wipe away visible liquid and debris from the outer ear.
Never push anything deep into the ear canal.
Outer ear only
Keep treats nearby and reward your dog throughout the process to make future ear cleaning easier.

Ear care FAQs
Can I use the Dog Ear Wash on puppies?
The product is designed for puppies and adult dogs. Follow the label directions and introduce ear cleaning gradually with plenty of positive reinforcement.
Can this treat an ear infection?
Dog Ear Wash is intended for routine cleaning — not to diagnose or treat an infection. Contact your veterinarian if the ear is red, swollen, painful, has unusual discharge, or develops a strong persistent odour.
Why does my dog shake after I apply it?
Head shaking is a natural part of the cleaning process and helps move loosened solution and debris toward the outer ear.
Should I clean my dog's ears after swimming?
It is helpful to check and dry the ears after swimming or bathing.
How should I make ear cleaning less stressful?
Let your dog inspect the bottle and cleaning supplies before beginning. Work slowly, keep sessions short, and reward calm behaviour throughout the process.
