How Do Dogs Get Ear Infections?
Consider your dogs’ environment. Does he spend a lot of time swimming or in moist air conditions? The excess water to his ears will throw off the balance of his natural bacteria and yeast growth. Right before bathing your dog, or taking him to the beach, you should rinse his ears with Epi-Otic flush. You can buy it over-the-counter at any vet. Dogs have L-shaped ear canals that extend deeper than our vision can see. Fill his ears with the flush. He will shake his head, which will knock any debris loose.

You will hear a squishing noise as it fills the canal. The flush is made with an ingredient that will dry out your dog’s ears faster and more effectively than water can.
