1. Regular Grooming

Keep a regular ear cleaning routine for your dog. Make sure you get rid of earwax, as well as debris, twigs and dirt, but don’t over do it! Check your dog’s ear weekly to see if they are dirty, but only clean when it’s necessary. This is probably the easiest and most efficient way to prevent dog ear infections.

2. Healthy diet

Dogs need to eat healthy to feel good. That means a well-balanced diet! For example, in most dogs, grain-free and gluten-free diets prevent yeast build-up in the ears. This should help prevent an ear infection, but if your dog does get one, probiotics can be a good way to keep the balance of good bacteria in your doggie’s organism. In this case, give your pet some plain unsweetened yogurt and they should be on the way to better balance.
