Keep your dog's ears clean and healthy with our Ear Cleaning Products for Dogs. Did you know that the same yeast (Malassezia) that causes tear stains is also naturally present in your dog's ears and can grow out of control leading to an ear infection?

 

What breeds of dogs are prone to ear infections?

 

Dogs with long and floppy ears such as Bloodhounds and Cocker Spaniels. The ear flaps prevent moisture from escaping, creating a warm wet environment, perfect for yeast and bacteria to thrive and spread.

 

Dogs that are swimmers such as Labradors and Golden Retrievers. When water gets trapped in the ear canal, it can lead to inflammation, which compromises the natural defences of the ear. This allows bacteria and yeast to multiply unchecked, resulting in an infection.

 

Dogs with hairy inner ear flaps such as Schnauzers and Miniature Poodles. These breeds are prone to ear infections primarily because of the hairy ear canals which trap moisture, creating a warm, dark environment ideal for bacterial and yeast growth.

 

How to prevent ear infections in dogs

 

Keeping your dog's ears clean and dry, and checking them regularly will help prevent ear infections, especially if your dog has allergies.

 

To keep the ears clean use Eye Envy Fresh Ear Cleaning Wipes or in the case of extreme build up use Eye Envy Ear Cleaning Solution.
