As a groomer, we were trained to always pluck the ear hair with every groom (just a standard thing, like trimming toe nails and emptying anal glands). The powder helps reduce odor and helps to grip the hair inside the ear. It also helps with keeping the ear dry. Dogs that shed don't have ear hair, but dogs that don't shed do. |

Yeah, I guess cutting would help. That's so crazy! I've never heard of anyone letting the hair in the ear get long like that. Yeah the powder helps a ton and you might need some hemostats (ear hair pullers), but you have to be VERY careful with them. Just pull a little at a time rather than a big clump at once. It won't hurt them as much. Then afterwards wipe the ears out with the ear cleaner on a cotton ball. Good luck! |
I pluck Stedman and Tatum's ears here at home myself - it is VERY easy to do and doesn't hurt them one single bit....they just sit there and let me do it and don't make a peep :) And trust me, if STEDMAN doesn't mind it, then I don't think any dog would - LOL. He is the biggest baby in all the land and if it bothered him even a *LITTLE* bit, he would NOT let me do it :p It only takes a minute or two and yes I do remove ALL the hair from the inside of the ear. I use the R7 Ear Powder for plucking from Petsmart - works just fine :) |
We groom often here amd ear hair is just apart of that. In fact I spent about 6 hours a few days ago doing bathing, nail clipping, ear and sanitary trimming and of course removing ear hair. :) It's really easy but after 4 dogs I'm ready to be all done! Thank goodness my Koda doesn;t need hers done too! |
