Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I get my pet’s ears cleaned?

Depends on your pet’s breed and ear structure. Regular inspections and cleanings—especially for floppy-eared breeds—help prevent infections.

Can I clean my pet’s ears at home?

Yes—with the right tools and gentle technique. Use vet-approved cleaners, soft gauze (not Q-tips), and stop if there’s pain or redness.

What signs indicate I should visit the vet instead of cleaning at home?

If you notice swelling, discharge, foul odor, or your pet shows pain or head-shaking—please get veterinary attention immediately.

Why not use human ear cleaners or Q-tips?

Human products often contain harsh alcohols or peroxide that irritate a pet’s ear. Q-tips can push debris deeper or even damage the eardrum. Always use pet-safe options and gentle tools.

What ingredients do you look for in ear cleansers?

We select products with antibacterial, antifungal, or soothing components (like aloe vera)—nothing harsh or alcohol-based.

How do you ensure the process is stress-free for my pet?

Our team is trained in gentle restraint and uses positive reinforcement—treats, praise, and patience—to make the experience calm and comfortable.
