Clean Ears, No Crying (either of you)

For the sake of their overall wellness, it's a good idea to routinely check your dog's ears and gently cleanse them. But it can be uncomfortable for your dog if the cleanser stings from alcohol. They cry out or tense up and then you do, too. We created our Simply Gentle formula without alcohol and added both Aloe Vera and Vitamin E for a soothing experience for both you and your dog. 

Directions

  • Inspect your dog's ears. If you see excessive redness, bumps or discharge (especially if it smells foul) speak to your vet. These can be signs of infection or allergies. 
  • Shake Gentle bottle lightly and then apply generously to a cotton ball or wipe (not a "q-tip" - no bias on brand, just the swab on a stick type) You can see on the diagram below how delicate the ear is. Forcing a swab into tight areas runs the risk of tissue damage or compaction of debris. (Neither will make you very popular with your pup.)
  • Gently, carefully wipe debris from folds and crevices of the exterior (auricular) cartilage - no need to dig/push into the areas you can't see.

Or if your vet recommends it, irrigate the ear by squeezing Gentle into the canal, massage the base of the ear for 30-45 seconds & then use cotton balls/wipes to remove loosened wax & debris. Don't force cotton into the ear canal. (Your dog is very likely to shake his/her head when you least expect it so be ready to duck if you choose this method.)
