Pets are a major responsibility and once you have decided to own a pet it is your responsibility to ensure that they are healthy and active. Though there are many issues, medical and otherwise, that you will have to reckon with, the hygiene and cleanliness of your pet is one aspect that you will need to maintain constantly.
Dog ears are often neglected while giving your dog a bath or ensuring overall grooming. Your dog may be squeaky clean from the outside and may have an extremely shiny coat, but if you have not ensured that his ears are cleaned every week, there is a high probability that your dog is slowly becoming a breeding ground for ear mites and bacteria.
Dog ear mites are less common than cat ear mites . But they can get extremely frustrating, if unattended, since they can develop into larger and more complicated issues. Dog ear mites can also cause behavioral changes in your pet that can lead him to be irritable and moody. And surely, the last thing that you would want to do is to have your pet put to sleep due to some aggressive behavior that occurs due to an ear infection.
