  I had no idea the outer ear could get stripped of ear wax's natural benefits with too much cleaning.  I think that might be the problem my dog has because I recently noticed his skin on the outside of his ear is dry.  I clean his ears once a week but never see any wax.  So I guess I better not clean them unless I see excessive wax right?
