Miniature Schnauzer Dog Ear Cleaning


Dog ear cleaning is yet another important part of your Miniature Schnauzer's weekly dog care routine. And although most Miniature Schnauzer dogs would prefer you 'leave their ears alone', the weekly regimen gets your Miniature Schnauzer accustomed to the ear-cleaning process, making it that much easier for you to clean your Miniature Schnauzer's ears.


Cleaning your Miniature Schnauzer's Ears


Most Miniature Schnauzers don't like having their ears cleaned but it is a necessary evil in order to prevent ear infections or worse.

Get your Miniature Schnauzer's dog ear cleaning supplies handy: dog ear wash solution, dog ear powder, cotton balls, pair of tweezers or hemostat, and Qtips.

Dog Ear Cleaning Process:
Begin your Miniature Schnauzer's dog ear cleaning by first checking the inner flap for any discharge or bad smell. Your Miniature Schnauzer's ears should be pink and smell nice.

dog health tip: Check your Miniature Schnauzer's ears weekly as part of your Miniature Schnauzer dog care routine and weekly dog checkup.

Next, take your tweezers, hemostat, or use your fingers to pluck out the hair from your Miniature Schnauzer's inner ear canal.

You might want to use some dog ear powder to help you grasp hold of your Miniature Schnauzer's inner ear hair. Just remove a small amount because the hair is there for a reason. You just want to remove or pluck out enough ear hair to prevent it from knotting and having debris accumulate inside your Schnauzer's ear canal.

Now, add a few drops of the dog ear wash solution and gently massage the base of your Miniature Schnauzer's ear to distribute the solution thoroughly. Then use the cotton balls to remove any discharge.

Next, use a Qtip to clean the outer ear canal only. NEVER insert a Qtip inside your Miniature Schnauzer's ear canal. Doing so could cause permanent damage to your Miniature Schnauzer's ears.

You should clean your Miniature Schnauzer's ears this way every 2 to 3 weeks and use pre-moistened ear wipes or swabs for your weekly dog ear care cleanings.

    dog health tip: Ear infections are very common in all dogs and if left untreated can lead to serious damage. So make sure and ask your vet about cleaning your Miniature Schnauzer's ears.
