| Hair in Ears How do you guys deal with hair in the ears? I know we are supposed to pluck it or pull out very small amounts at a time with our fingers, but one of my dogs is extremely squirmy and I am afraid to hurt him. He has a lot of hair in his ears and none of my others do. His ears are starting to smell bad so I know that I have to get the hair out. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or should I just take him to the groomer? Beth

| Beth: If you go to a groomer, they will usually do a nail trim and ear plucking. I groom Chewy myself, but those two things I cannot stand. The whole thing will be about 10-15 mins and you can make regular appts to do it and the cost should be no more that $15. |

| Pet Smart in my neighborhood does the ears and a nail trim for $12. Best 12 bucks I ever spent! I can't even get near Dublin's toes with clippers, and I don't even want to think about trying to pluck ear hair!

When I take Mollie in to have her nails trimmed I always have them check her ears and if they need to they get the hair out. It's $4 more.

Same her. I take Mollie to Petsmart and have them both done for $12. Mollie is the same she turns into a devil dog if I came near her with nail clippers I can't imagine getting hair out of her ears.
