Actually, the ear powder does help keep their ears dry in the canal and helps to prevent infections.

| I'd just like to clarify that you should not just "grab a bunch", rather take a little bit at a time. You can use tweezers or hemastats if you have them. (I actually like hemastats better, they don't slip off of the hair.) Be careful not to grab skin inside the ear and get the hair just as close to the base of the shaft of the hair as possible. Pull with swift straight strokes. If there's a lot of hair, you may want to take a break every once in a while and you can gently massage the ear after pulling the hair. It'll help to take any pain away. And of course, give 'em a treat when you're done - they'll remember that it's not always a bad thing to sit in your lap and let you look in their ears.

| I leave the hair in my Yorkie's ear canals alone. They have never had an ear infection. If ear infections are a problem, only then would I consider using the powder and pulling the hairs out. |
