Itchy, Dirty or Smelly Dog Ears? What You Need To Know

Dirty ears are a problem for everyone now and then… for dogs and humans alike. But when those dirty ears get so bad that they start to smell, you need immediate cleaning and perhaps even medical treatment.

You see, smelly ears area sign of infection. Ear infections are very common in floppy-eared dogs and dogs with long ear canals, as well as those with hair inside the ears.

However, ear infections can affect any dog. They range from bacterial, yeast tofungal infections and can be very difficult to get rid of.

What's even worse is how your dog feels with an ear infection: itchy … uncomfortable … restless … and then there's that rancid smell! Yuck!

Just ask one of my pet parents, Dan.

Dan has a six-year-old red basset hound named Ruby Tuesday who has been plagued with chronic ear infections throughout her life. He told me he always knows when she has an infection because Ruby starts shaking her head, pawing at her ears and rattling her collar. And the smell from her ears can knock you out. Dan told me the icky brown and black stuff that builds up inside her ears has about the worst smell he can imagine.

Ruby's infections have cost Dan and his family thousands in vet bills and medicines over the years. And just think about how terrible poor Ruby must feel!

After Ruby’s last infection cleared up, Dan started cleaning Ruby's ears regularly with a special ear cleansing solution that has finally put an end to the costly ear-infection routines of the past.

Ear infections are one of the most common reasons for visiting a veterinarian. I see a lot of dogs like Ruby every week. And if your dog gets a yeast infection (Candidiasis) in her ears, she could harbor it forever. Yeast is extremely difficult to clear up.

The thing is, dogs can't clean their own ears – and they can’t tell you when their ears hurt. That’s why having a regular ear cleaning regimen is so important. Left untreated, chronic infections can lead to other problems including possible deafness.

If your dog has a lot of hair inside the ears, keep it well trimmed. If your dog swims, dry out the ears every week and after swimming (or more frequently as necessary). I also recommend using an ear cleaning solution on a regular basis.
