My vet never said anything to me about it , she probably just assumed I knew

I don't know what would be classified as excessive , but I would say Chloe has a good amount ,and judging by the length of it I don't think they plucked it at her last visit because it's up to the tip of her ears ...unless it can grow fast . I don't see her pawing at her ears alot , but she does every now and then.
I was afraid it would hurt ( like waxing

) so I didn't want to hurt her.
Do most of you do it yourself ? and if you do pluck it how long does it need to be before its plucked again?
So , how many do it and who doesn't...and do you have any problems?
