Why is it important to have a routine for sensitive ears?
Dogs, like humans, can have varying levels of sensitivity in their ears for a variety of reasons. Sensitive ears can significantly impact a dog's quality of life, causing discomfort, scratching, and potential complications such as ear infections. Here are some reasons why a routine is important:
Controls underlying cause: otitis are often linked to an underlying allergy, that persist throughout a dog’s life. Even if the ear looks normal, it is not, requiring regular care and attention. An established routine allow to follow precisely the signs, keep the symptoms under control and get medical attention as soon as it gets out of control.
Treats hidden discomfort: Even if their ears appear normal on the surface, they might be experiencing underlying issues that are not immediately visible. A routine helps in addressing these subtle discomforts that might go unnoticed.
Ensures well-being: Ear issues can cause intense head shaking, discomfort, and pain for dogs. A well-designed routine helps alleviate symptoms and keeps the dog more comfortable longer.
Reinforces the bond: Regular care routines create opportunities for bonding with your pet. Following a routine establishes predictability and consistency, reducing stress for the dog. Using products practical and pleasant to use allow to strengthen the bond between the pet and its family over the long term.
Understanding the specific triggers for your dog's ear sensitivity is crucial in developing an effective management plan. Regular veterinary check-ups and observation of your dog's behavior and ear can help identify and address the underlying issues promptly.
What to use for sensitive ears?
Make sure you choose a veterinary recommended cleaning solution to clean your dog’s ears. The ears are very delicate structures, and homemade solutions can be irritating and even harmful to your dog.
A good cleaning agent should be gentle to not irritate the ear, but also effective in removing excess earwax and debris. It’s ideal to look for a solution that has a moisturising action to help maintain the ear canal’s natural skin barrier, containing soothing ingredients to control potential irritation and allowing to favour a healthy microbiota that is often imbalanced in case of sensitive ears.
DOUXO S3 CARE Ear cleaner was developed to remove gently and efficiently earwax and debris thanks to micellar technology while soothing ears. It helps to strengthen the ear canal and prevent germ overgrowth leading to otitis. In an otitis context, its use is compatible with ear medications. Its packaging was developped to be convenient, comfortable and hygienic to use.
