Bearing Ear Care Lotion to keep your pup’s ears clean and itch-free. It’s a popular choice for routine maintenance, especially for breeds with floppy ears that tend to trap moisture and wax.
Here is a quick breakdown of what this product usually offers and how to use it safely.
Product Overview: Bearing Ear Care (100 ml)
This lotion is generally formulated to be non-irritating while tackling the “gunk” that accumulates in a dog’s ear canal.
-
Deodorizing: Helps eliminate that “doggy ear” smell caused by wax and bacteria.
-
Antiseptic Properties: Often contains ingredients like salicylic acid or eucalyptus oil to reduce inflammation and prevent mild infections.
-
Gentle Cleaning: Dissolves earwax and removes dirt without the need for aggressive scrubbing.
How to Use It Properly
-
Apply: Gently squeeze a few drops into the ear canal. Do not shove the nozzle deep into the ear; just aim for the opening.
-
Massage: Massage the base of the ear for about 30 seconds. You should hear a “squishing” soundthis means the lotion is breaking up the debris.
-
The Shake: Let your dog shake their head. This naturally brings the loosened wax to the surface.
-
Wipe: Use a cotton ball or soft gauze to wipe the visible part of the outer ear. Avoid using Q-tips/cotton swabs inside the canal, as you risk pushing debris further in or damaging the eardrum.
When to See a Vet
While cleaning is great for maintenance, it shouldn’t be used as a “cure” if there is an active problem. See a vet if you notice:
-
Extreme redness or swelling.
-
A discharge that looks like coffee grounds (a sign of ear mites).
-
Your dog yelping when you touch their ears.
-
Constant head shaking or tilting to one side.
