Ear Cleaning
Gentle Ear Care for Your Pup’s Health
Clean ears are an essential part of your dog’s grooming routine — and at Doggy Spaw by Karla, we handle them with the care they deserve. Our ear cleaning service is designed to gently remove buildup, prevent infections, and keep your pet comfortable.
Whether your dog is prone to waxy buildup or simply needs regular maintenance, we offer a safe, thorough cleaning using vet-approved solutions.
Why Dog Ear Cleaning Is Important
Many pet owners overlook the ears during at-home grooming, but unclean ears can lead to serious issues, including:
- Odor or wax buildup
- Itching, redness, or irritation
- Ear infections or mites
- Pain and behavioral changes
Some breeds — especially those with floppy ears or lots of hair in the ear canal — are more prone to these problems. That’s why routine cleaning is so important.
What’s Included in the Service
Our ear cleaning process is quick, non-invasive, and stress-free. Here’s what we do:
- Visual inspection of the outer ear for signs of redness, swelling, or debris
- Gentle wiping with pet-safe ear solution to remove wax and dirt
- Drying and finishing to prevent moisture that can cause infections
- Referral alert if we notice signs that may need veterinary care
We do not probe deep into the ear canal or use cotton swabs — we clean only the safe, visible areas of your dog’s ear.
Benefits of Regular Ear Cleaning
Scheduling ear cleaning with your dog’s grooming visit helps:
- Prevent bacterial or yeast infections
- Reduce itching and head shaking
- Control odor caused by wax or debris
- Detect problems early, before they become serious
- Keep your dog comfortable and pain-free
For dogs that swim often or have long ears, we recommend more frequent cleanings to keep the ear canals dry and clear.
How We Keep Your Dog Calm
Ear cleaning can make some dogs nervous — especially if they’ve had a bad experience before. At Doggy Spaw by Karla, we:
- Take a calm, slow approach
- Use quiet, gentle motions
- Offer breaks when needed
- Communicate with owners about any sensitivities
Our goal is to make ear care quick, painless, and positive for every pup.
