How to Clean My Poodle's Ear With White Vinegar and Water
- 1). Pour 1/4 cup vinegar and 1/2 cup water into the 8 oz. squirt bottle and tighten down the cap. Shake the bottle to mix the ingredients.
- 2). Command the poodle to sit. Kneel down to the poodle's level. Rub the poodle's ears gently to allow the poodle to get used to having its ears touched.
- 3). Choose an ear and work on one ear at a time. Lift the ear flap and look into the ear. Check for hair in the ear and pluck any hairs before applying the vinegar solution.
- 4). Apply the white vinegar and water solution to a cotton ball. Swab the outer area of the ear with the solution, rubbing gently to remove any dirt or wax.
- 5). Squirt a small amount of solution near the ear hole. Massage the base of the ear to work the solution a little deeper into the ear. Step back and allow your poodle to shake its head to clear its ear. Wipe away any excess solution with a cotton ball.
- 6). Repeat with the other ear.
- 7). Clean your poodle's ears every four weeks or more often if necessary.
