Your dog, due to the anatomy of his ears, will need special attention to the hygiene of his beautiful large floppy ears. We recommend that you clean them only as needed.

Check them on a regular basis and if dirt accumulates on them, clean them with a product designed for this purpose. We really like AvenaSativa which is made with oats available from your vet. This product is very gentle and suitable for regular use. If the dirt is heavier, a stronger cleaner such as Pro-Otic may be necessary. You will know how to be well advised by your veterinarian.

The anatomy of your dog's ear canal being "L" shaped, it is impossible to reach it along its entire length. You can put 1-2 ml of the lukewarm cleaning solution in it (our small bain-marie technique, no microwave will become much too hot because of the oil that these products contain). Massage so that the liquid reaches into the horizontal portion of the "L" and you will hear a "skwich-skwich". Then let your dog shake his head and wipe off the dirt with a finger wrapped in a paper towel. never use Q-tips or introduce an object that could seriously injure your dog's ear. Note that it is not necessary to wipe the ear completely to remove the product which is astringent.
