What You’ll Need to Clean Your Dog’s Ears
Before you begin, make sure you have the right tools to clean your dog’s ears safely and effectively. Here’s what you’ll need:

Designed to be pH-balanced, it matches the natural acidity of your pet’s ear canal, ensuring safe and non-irritating use. Suitable for all breeds and ages, especially for pets with long ears or those prone to infections, regular use helps maintain clean, healthy ears and prevents common ear issues.
Cotton balls or gauze – for gently wiping away debris.
A towel – to keep your dog comfortable and prevent spills.
Treats – to reward your dog and make the experience positive.
Optional: A helper to hold your dog still, especially if your pet is anxious about ear cleaning.
How to Clean Your Dog’s Ears
Prepare Your Dog – Find a quiet, comfortable space and make sure your dog is relaxed. Gently pet and reassure them.
Inspect the Ears – Check for redness, swelling, bad odor, or discharge. If the ears look severely infected, consult your vet before cleaning.
Apply the Cleaner – Hold your dog’s ear flap upright and squeeze a few drops of Puainta® Quantum Ear Cleaner into the ear canal.
Massage the Base – Gently massage the base of the ear for about 30 seconds to help the cleaner break up wax and debris.
Let Your Dog Shake – Allow your dog to shake its head to help remove loosened debris.
Wipe Away Excess – Use a cotton ball or gauze to gently clean the outer ear and visible parts of the ear canal. Avoid using cotton swabs, as they can push debris further inside.
Reward Your Dog – Give your dog a treat to reinforce positive behavior.
How Often Should I Clean My Dog’s Ears?
The frequency of ear cleaning depends on your dog’s breed, lifestyle, and ear health:
Once a week – Recommended for dogs prone to ear infections or those with floppy ears.
Every two weeks – Suitable for most dogs with healthy ears.
After swimming or baths – Water trapped in the ears can lead to infections, so clean them after water exposure.
As needed – If you notice dirt, wax buildup, or odor, it’s time for a cleaning.
Using Puainta® Quantum Ear Cleaner for Dogs regularly helps maintain a clean, healthy ear environment and prevents infections.
When to Contact Your Vet
While regular ear cleaning can prevent infections, some ear issues require veterinary attention. Contact your vet if you notice:
Persistent bad odor even after cleaning.
Excessive scratching, redness, or swelling.
Thick discharge or bleeding.
Loss of balance or frequent head shaking.
Ignoring these symptoms can lead to severe infections or hearing problems. Puainta offers an effective solution for routine cleaning, but for serious infections, professional treatment may be needed.
