How do I clean my pet's ears properly

To clean your pet's ears properly, start by gathering some cotton balls or pads and a vet-approved ear cleaner. Make sure you're in a comfy spot where your pet feels relaxed. Gently lift their ear flap and apply a few drops of the cleaner into the ear canal. Then, massage the base of the ear for about 20-30 seconds to help break up any gunk. After that, let your pet shake their head (they usually love doing that!). Finally, use the cotton balls to wipe away any debris you can see. Just remember to be gentle and take your time—if your pet seems uncomfortable, it’s a good idea to stop and consult your vet!
