what a nice video...at 63 ( TODAY!) I got a terrier dachshund mix she is so wonderful I had no idea how much how she would change my life, like No more living alone depression! anyway I really enjoyed your instructional video on cleaning their ears thank you so much for making that video you seem to have a good spirit and soul! and it wasn't you that clued me in it was your little friend who was getting her ears cleaned! :-)
Larry Miller Hello! You and I are both the same 65, so I can certainly relate to your living alone and depression. Sir, you gave yourself a gift, a well deserved one, at best, when you adopted that Lil' fella , and brought him to your home. Not only will he be your most loyal companion, but he will give you unconditional love for the duration of your natural life. My only hope is that you went to a shelter that euthanizes the unwanted animals, to make space for the newbies. If not, I can live with that also. Lol!! Anyway, you did such a good deed. Do you believe in karma, I do...... P.S. hope you and your furry friend, are doing well....!?
Thank you so much for this. I have a 3 month old pug and it is pure hell right now to clean his ears. He practically screams and jerks around and a complete wiggle butt that I have to have my boyfriend hold him for me. I'm going to try this next time. Is your ear solution cold or just room temp? If you have any other tips on keeping him still while I do this I would great appreciate it
I have a miniature bulldog (he's 55 lbs, not exactly mini!) who has the same ear type as the pup you show in your video. He hates the ear cleaning, runs when I bring out the bottle. I can get his ears filled, but cleaning them out after that is difficult. Is using baby wipes an ok thing to use for wiping them out?
Exactly what I was looking for. My Pit Bull should have his cleaned. I bought the solution but am hesitant, since I've never cleaned dog ears before. I will now make it a regular ritual. Thank you!
Thank you Monique. I have four big dogs and the vet charges me $7 for each cleaning for each dogs' ears. I try to use your method but the my doggies but I'm still afraid to use the q-tips as they are nervous too. And can I use baby-wipe in case I don't have the ear solution? Your girl is such a good dog!
cleaning your dogs ears looked very easy but for me i have Labradors. Cleaning their ears is extremely difficult. They dont like it and as soon as the cleaner goes in they shake and keeping them still is also not easy.After doing it twice a day a few weeks ago they would not even come to me when i called them. I also tried treats. I started to do this because both my labs were shaking their head all the time.please give me some advice Monigue
+Diane Gnieslaw I have the same problem with my Lab. She absolutely hates it and she won't come for me anymore. I have to take her on a walk to get her to cooperate.
Chelseawine Wine go to the vet and they will explain how to pin your dog safely.. the other person can do the ear cleaning.. takes two. then the neatest treats after!
Monique Pierpont my puppy had an ear infection.. I tried hard to make her understand and a positive experience.. but it wasn't and a little force in the correct place was the only (and right) way. I gave her lots of praise for it and carried on trying to make her understand it was nessasry to make her better.. she's come round to it now. p.a. I've been recommended using detol wipes twice a week on her to keep things clean for a while
I just adopted a puppy from our local shelter. I took her to her first vet visit a few days ago. The vet's assistant was cleaning my pup's ears (she has ear mites) and my pup was howling and yelping. I was really upset with the way she was handling my pup but she kept telling me that you can't go too far into a dog's ear and that it wasn't hurting her. The vet eventually came back into the room to see what the fuss was about and told the assistant to use a distraction (a treat). My question is how accurate is the vet assistant's statement about not being able to hurt a dog's ear during cleaning?
i have a 3yr old english bulldog, my question is why does my dogs ear have a very strong smell, i just got him from my sister. very sweet dog but i cant get him to stop smelling from the ears?????
is it safe to clean my 8 week old french bulldogs ears with zymox already? There is no sign of infection i just want to start cleaning them since he is a pup.
my 2 year old boxer is having ear infection from last three four days, i have never cleaned her ear as she doesnt allow to do so. can i clean it by myself now. i am worried because she is too big and doesnt allow me to touch her ear :( please help
I have my dog's left ear infected, nobody from the Doc's clinic ever told me how to clean my dog's ears. That was a good and informative instructional video, thanks for sharing.
Thank you soooo much for sharing this!!! I have a pit/chow mix who has allergies & I have to clean his ears twice weekly b/c of the build up. The hardest part is keeping my big dog still while I do it. The wetness in his ears drives him insane! I also just switched from using a very harsh smelling ear cleaning solution to just straight witch hazel. He seems to like it better. I will try your method & hope it helps make the process quicker & easier for both him & I (fingers crossed) :)
This video was great BUT how can i convince my dog to let me clean her ears when she doesnt even let me tuch it :( she is a bulldgo and has ear infections but she runs everytime she sees the bottle of the ear wash... HELP PLS
I just watched your video to make sure that I have been doing it right all along. Thankfully I have. However, my dog still gets recurring gunk in one ear. Now, she has caused an aural hematoma. Do you have any suggestions as to what else I can do to prevent this from happening again. I have a Beagle named Shiloh and she is around 12 years old. Thanks!
***** Thank you so for replying so quickly. What you said makes a lot of sense. I live in the deep south. You could cut the humid air with a knife. I will most definitely take your advice and try it. My dog thanks you too.
What a well behaved doggy! You’ve obviously done a great job with her. I wish my dog was so well behaved when I clean his ears - he sees the bottle of ear cleaner and hides 😭 Thanks for the advice 👍🏼
Monique, thank you for the video. I have a six month old labrador who gives me a difficult time sitting still for cleaning and putting ointment in his ears. He acts like a bucking bronco! Any ideas?
this is fantastic our shihtzu has terrible yeast ears and suffers so bad,,im going to try this after work,do u know if its safe to use witch hazel as ear cleaner I have read this many times,,thank you for your video
thank you kindly I used the solotion I bought from the vets,,it was a bit of a struggle keeping her still but went well,,thank you for such great advice
i have a gsd and i dont understand why she gets this ear problem. she also scratches from time to time. Visually she looks fine. I just hope her condition is not a life time condition. The vets are a disappointment.
Hi my dog has yeast in his ears his full ear area has turned black and it is having itching also, always tilts his head and scratches his ears,he is not sleeping whole night bcoz of itching, plzzz help me wat to do
Unfortunately you really don't know if it is indeed a yeast infection unless you look under a microscope. Your dog sounds very uncomfortable. Please take him to your vet asap.
Hi thanks for doing this video our dog suffers with really waxy ears & they really bother him ,I have been to our vets but they didn't show or tell me how to do it like u have & the stuff that came out of them was unbelievable !!the next few days I had to clean them again cus the build up of wax was mega ,we did have another dog but sadly he past away last wk & he was licking his ears every day so we never really saw how much wax was in there but since he has been gone we r now seeing the amount of wax ,anyway thank u ,u have helped us alot♥;-)
Pallavi Bajpai I dun fill my dog's ears that much liquid. And warm.the liquid before putting into her ears. She's much more willing to endire the process now. Although shr still hates it I know.
I have a 12 lb Beagle that wont even tolerate you giving her the look like you are going to inspect her. I am a 235lb man and I literally can't restrain her without fear of her hurting herself trying to get away.
Unfortunately with a lot of man made breeds it doesn't matter. They are genetic messes and all you can do is make them as comfortable and happy as possible.
@@KeepWagging agreed but diet is going to make the biggest difference. most ear infections are caused by yeast infections. A good natural diet and probiotics can really help a lot. You won't have to clean the ears out so much
Your zymox was expired. hehe great video!! I have a french bulldog that has an ear infection. She's under veterinarian care and been prescribed Otomax, and baytril. It's been a week and i'm not seeing much improvement. Lots' of head tilting, lethargy, and sadness for the poor little thing. Her ears were cleaned three days ago, but I haven't been doing it every day. SHould I? I was told to do a follow up in three weeks, but I don't necessarily want to keep her on antibiotics for that long if her condition isn't improving. Would the Otomax be perpetuating the balance problem if it's not applied correctly?
Great video Monique, not only did you provide the steps, you included the logic behind the steps as well. Just became a fan, so this might be something you covered in a previous video. Claw trimming, YIKES! The white claws are easier, but the black are impossible! Would you please do a video covering this and if you have any cat tidbits, that would be extremely helpful. Living on a farm you see some interesting things, and one of the barn cat's claws are beginning to curl. Any help would be great. Again, great video! I am going to go clean out my Foxhound Slim Sadie's ears right now. ....Step 1: treats and belly rubs here I come!
thank you for the tutorial. I just got a puggle/cockapoo mix and wasn't even sure if dogs needed there ears cleaned so I googled it.and I found this video.I hope my dog takes to it better than he does his baths else it becomes a wrestling match.ha.thank you
My English bulldog has a bad middle ear infection on one ear and it makes squishy sounds when I massage it while cleaning. I’m so worried about her. I’ve been cleaning her ear regularly with a good cleaner but it’s not getting rid of her infection.
I think it's time to see your veterinarian. Depending on the infection it may not be able to be resolved with cleaner. Also, does she like when you rub her ear or back away from you because it is painful? Some bacteria can cause ulceration in the ear canal.
Keep Wagging I did take her to a veterinarian and she said that she has a middle ear infection that needs to be punctured and filled with saline and rinsed out while she is under. I have no idea what that costs so I’ve been cleaning with Triz edta in the hopes it will just go away 😩
Keep Wagging well I have started her ears on zymox ear solution. I have been putting it in her ear and rubbing it in. I am hoping by the end of 7-14 days she will be good.
my Siberian Labrador 8 monthold puppy has symptoms of what may be ear mites. except for he will not let me put in any type of solution to clean his ears it's now is if you won't even let me touch him to a certain extent he doesn't snap at me at in anger but if I do it for too long it starts to bothering me and then he tries to bite me but a puppy bite I don't have the type of money to take him to get it done I rescued him from going to the pound took all the proper safety precautions got his shots his flea medication he's healthy walk twice a day even has solid bowels I noticed it when he started bobbing after a walk about a month ago I tried the q-tip the cotton ball no solution I've tried to get somebody else to help me straddle him because he is big dog I haven't had a vet tech tell me how it's supposed to be done I know it bothers him and its only getting worse I don't know what to do he's a beautiful dog I if only I could send you a picture but I know that it bothers him because he's itching his ears or shaking like as if he was wet please help me if I sent you a picture of how beautiful he , you'd be amazed is complemented day in and day out again please help this is my first comment out on a situation like this and was hoping you could help me
The vet had me using a Malaseb Flush during and after the time that my dog was getting Mometamax for a yeast infection in the ear. Is there a significant difference between Malaseb and Zymox ear cleanser? If I am not mistaken, the active ingredients are different.
Quite by accident I came across a method of cleaning the dog's ears that is simple and easy with no discomfort to the dogs. I apply a drop of sulfodene, which is a canine topical antiseptic, into each year. It softens the wax and allows the wax to flow by itself out of the dog's ears. This procedure completely eliminated the need for the flushing, the Q-tips, the dryers, and even the need to pluck out the hair. All that is needed is to keep the hair short within the canal by using a blunt nose scissor.
Great informative video! I noticed the ear cleaner you use is liquid form. I see that some ear cleaners are powder form, which is better? I have a PBGV that has chronic ear problems and is also deaf now (she is a rescue so I don't know her exact age but she is a senior.)
ok, Monique great video! You have given me the confidence to do this myself. I was scared to do so, and always relied on my groomer to get this work done. However, Chloe (Shih Tzu) is not very cooperative (lol) know what I mean? And, therefore, I've had my groomer do this. But, she gets a lot of ear infections due to Yeast=according to her Vet and I now wanted to keep doing this more often than waiting for the groomer. Thank you so much for this.
Thanks for making this video, our dobe doesn't have cropped ears and her ears have always been a problem. We've only ever use Q-tips so its nice to know that we use a cleaning solution and gauze instead of lots and lots of Q-tips.
how? I may not be much help but either he or she is hurting or some owners just have to suck it up and force the dog. Are they calm before treatment? First time?
My 7 year old pibble has had ear wax buildup for about a year, only in the one ear. I've been trying my best to clean out using wipes but I've been hesitant on much else considering it's such a sensitive area. I'm going to go to the store to get some solution tomorrow. Thanks for the tips and a beautiful model. She's so adorable! I'm a sucker for bully breeds 😍🐶
Hi! Make sure you use an ear cleaner that has a surfactant in it to break up the wax if that's what it is. If it becomes a chronic issue I would have that ear checked!
Thank you for this video!!! I only have 1 question. While I realize this is an old video, while watching i noticed the ear cleaner you were using was expired. Is it harmful to use expired clearer? I'm not trying to be a jerk, that is a legit question. Thanks :)
+Monique Pierpont Thank you for not taking offense to my question and thank you for the information!! I will be trying this method with my dogs soon! Have a good day!! :)
Thanks so much for the info. I am about to clean my 12 yr-old black lab/grayhound/golden retriever's ears for the first time. My old guy is the best dog ever (sorry to those of you who think you had it ;) but lately his ears seem to be bothering him. Also, I am aware that his hearing is bad. I attributed it to his advanced age but after this video, I am hopeful his ears just need a good cleaning. Thanks for your great video!
Hi Monique, I just found this post! Yes, thanks to your video I have been able to clean my old boys ears without any problem. He did shake some crud out but, as for his hearing, I don't think it was just dirty old ears. He is a wonderfully happy and healthy old guy but his hearing seems just to be reflective of his age. Thanks again for your great video, it really helped me! :)
Thank you, very helpful video Monique :) My last dog always had clean ears. But our new pup, seems to have one ear loaded with dirt and wax. I was wondering how to approach such a delicate cleaning job. I didn't know I could fill the ear with solution, then massage (great idea). Just wondering, would it be safe for the dog, if I used the ear-cleansing solution for a human ear, or is that not advised?
My dog has been going crazy shaking her head and scratching at her right ear. Our vet said it may be ear mites but had trouble verifying due to my dog not letting her near ear. I just preformed these steps and so far they seemed to have worked. My dog is a German shepherd/Chow mix so she has some big ears lol
Thanks for this. I have a basset/border collie who hates having her ears cleaned, but it's gotta be done...maybe your method will work a little better than what I was shown. Wish me luck!
what a nice video...at 63 ( TODAY!) I got a terrier dachshund mix she is so wonderful I had no idea how much how she would change my life, like No more living alone depression! anyway I really enjoyed your instructional video on cleaning their ears thank you so much for making that video you seem to have a good spirit and soul! and it wasn't you that clued me in it was your little friend who was getting her ears cleaned! :-)
Larry Miller Hello! You and I are both the same 65, so I can certainly relate to your living alone and depression. Sir, you gave yourself a gift, a well deserved one, at best, when you adopted that Lil' fella , and brought him to your home. Not only will he be your most loyal companion, but he will give you unconditional love for the duration of your natural life. My only hope is that you went to a shelter that euthanizes the unwanted animals, to make space for the newbies.
If not, I can live with that also. Lol!! Anyway, you did such a good deed. Do you believe in karma, I do...... P.S. hope you and your furry friend, are doing well....!?
Thank you so much for this. I have a 3 month old pug and it is pure hell right now to clean his ears.

Ps.... Anyone who clicked thumbs down should be banished from the Internet .... Maybe the planet ... And should never be allowed to own a pet

Couldn't help laughing while watching the video tho, a bull dog with it's tongue sticking out looks so funny.

😇👌🏼🐾
Is this safe? I was going to buy on amazon but I saw somebody say it caused her dog deafness :(
Some medications can cause deafness temporarily but not a cleaner, that I have ever heard of.
What with the annoying dancing logo on the top left corner? Otherwise, an excellent video :-)
Is the cleanser made specifically for dogs? Or is this just basic cleanser?
Hi! Thank you very much for the infos. The reward part really helped me, because my dog hated when I cleaned her ears.

Yes how I can clean my American bulldog Scot. Maybe under sedation when his nails being cut.
At 2:28... Ear Cleaning Solution is 6 months expired. : (
It does seem that way but I used to refill my little bottle with a gallon of the same product.
So you need FOUR things then. You forgot treats. Jesus Christ.
I actually had a bag behind me but you are correct, I did forget to mention it in this video. My apologies.
please re do this video with a Rott...
I want to give your dog a big hug.
great video hello from australia
Very good, thanks.
This is fine for short term, but the BEST thing you can do for your dogs ears and skin is feed them properly.
Unfortunately with a lot of man made breeds it doesn't matter. They are genetic messes and all you can do is make them as comfortable and happy as possible.

The vet had me using a Malaseb Flush during and after the time that my dog was getting Mometamax for a yeast infection in the ear. Is there a significant difference between Malaseb and Zymox ear cleanser? If I am not mistaken, the active ingredients are different.
that part about the vet tech I even had one help me it was a mistype not I haven't
Quite by accident I came across a method of cleaning the dog's ears that is simple and easy with no discomfort to the dogs. I apply a drop of sulfodene, which is a canine topical antiseptic, into each year. It softens the wax and allows the wax to flow by itself out of the dog's ears. This procedure completely eliminated the need for the flushing, the Q-tips, the dryers, and even the need to pluck out the hair. All that is needed is to keep the hair short within the canal by using a blunt nose scissor.
Great informative video! I noticed the ear cleaner you use is liquid form. I see that some ear cleaners are powder form, which is better? I have a PBGV that has chronic ear problems and is also deaf now (she is a rescue so I don't know her exact age but she is a senior.)
ok, Monique great video! You have given me the confidence to do this myself. I was scared to do so, and always relied on my groomer to get this work done. However, Chloe (Shih Tzu) is not very cooperative (lol) know what I mean? And, therefore, I've had my groomer do this. But, she gets a lot of ear infections due to Yeast=according to her Vet and I now wanted to keep doing this more often than waiting for the groomer. Thank you so much for this.
Thanks for making this video, our dobe doesn't have cropped ears and her ears have always been a problem. We've only ever use Q-tips so its nice to know that we use a cleaning solution and gauze instead of lots and lots of Q-tips.
thanks for answering that fast. Good job!
Great video!! How often should you clean your dogs ears just for regular cleaning? I have a beagle... Thanks in advance!!
You are so nice
My dog is scared of the q tips. What do i do?
how? I may not be much help but either he or she is hurting or some owners just have to suck it up and force the dog. Are they calm before treatment? First time?
This was very helpful :)
She is lush
That's a funny hat.Also it looks like she actually enjoyed getting her ears cleaned.
So, the bottle says it expired in 2011 at 2:28 - 2:30
Hope this video isn't that old.
how do i do it with a crazy 1 year old pug who absolutely wont deal with ear cleaning and has an ear infection
Thank you SOOOOO much! This was very helpful. My two boys can now clean their dog's ears with no doubt about how to do it!
umm the product youre using exp was 09/2011?
Awesome and super helpful video! Also, there is a little lizard in the background at the end on the blue wall!
thank you so much for a comprehensive, safe, explicit tutorial. I'm posting it on facebook for dog friends to see. Hope that is OK.
You look like Meghan Markle
Thank you : )
My 7 year old pibble has had ear wax buildup for about a year, only in the one ear. I've been trying my best to clean out using wipes but I've been hesitant on much else considering it's such a sensitive area. I'm going to go to the store to get some solution tomorrow. Thanks for the tips and a beautiful model. She's so adorable! I'm a sucker for bully breeds 😍🐶
Hi! Make sure you use an ear cleaner that has a surfactant in it to break up the wax if that's what it is. If it becomes a chronic issue I would have that ear checked!
Thank you for this video!!! I only have 1 question. While I realize this is an old video, while watching i noticed the ear cleaner you were using was expired. Is it harmful to use expired clearer? I'm not trying to be a jerk, that is a legit question. Thanks :)
+Monique Pierpont Thank you for not taking offense to my question and thank you for the information!! I will be trying this method with my dogs soon! Have a good day!! :)
Thanks so much for the info. I am about to clean my 12 yr-old black lab/grayhound/golden retriever's ears for the first time. My old guy is the best dog ever (sorry to those of you who think you had it ;) but lately his ears seem to be bothering him. Also, I am aware that his hearing is bad. I attributed it to his advanced age but after this video, I am hopeful his ears just need a good cleaning. Thanks for your great video!
Hi Monique,
I just found this post! Yes, thanks to your video I have been able to clean my old boys ears without any problem. He did shake some crud out but, as for his hearing, I don't think it was just dirty old ears. He is a wonderfully happy and healthy old guy but his hearing seems just to be reflective of his age. Thanks again for your great video, it really helped me! :)
Thank you, very helpful video Monique :) My last dog always had clean ears. But our new pup, seems to have one ear loaded with dirt and wax. I was wondering how to approach such a delicate cleaning job. I didn't know I could fill the ear with solution, then massage (great idea). Just wondering, would it be safe for the dog, if I used the ear-cleansing solution for a human ear, or is that not advised?
Monique Pierpont
are there no worries of the liquid getting stick in the ear canal
thanks, my friends dog looks just like this one, hers has bad ears, im sending this to her
My dog has been going crazy shaking her head and scratching at her right ear. Our vet said it may be ear mites but had trouble verifying due to my dog not letting her near ear. I just preformed these steps and so far they seemed to have worked. My dog is a German shepherd/Chow mix so she has some big ears lol
What a sweet girl. She is so well behaved. Beautiful bulldog!!
Now show us how to do this on a kangal and pit bull.
Excellent demonstration. Thanks for sharing.
Hi i follow your videos they are bery helpful can you tell me what kind of powder i can use on my bully 's tail pocket thanks for the info
Thanks so much for this, very easy to follow and well explained!
This dog probably has a yeast infection.
Told my cleaner to do that! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this. I have a basset/border collie who hates having her ears cleaned, but it's gotta be done...maybe your method will work a little better than what I was shown. Wish me luck!
Great video Monique, thanks for sharing.
You are obviously so passionate about canines! I can see it in your face :D x
Why so many transitions?
Yep, all the cuts and swipes. It was a little off putting. Good information though. Very helpful.
Thanks for this!! my one frenchie's ear is full of wax
Is it ok to give treats to my bully after it does something i want and what kind of treat do you recomend and ones again thank you
Thank's i'll do that it's my first bully and i want to do the right thing & correct you have a lot of followers we all thank you
How often do I clean the ears on a puppie?
