How to Administer Ear Drops or Ointment to Dogs

Clean the external ear thoroughly with a moistened cotton ball using a veterinary recommended solution. Read the label instructions carefully for correct dosage.

 
 Gently pull the ear flap over the head, squeeze out the desired amount and apply it to the lowest part of the ear canal.

 
 Gently massage the ear area to help work the medication deeper into the ear canal. If there is enough medication in the ear, you will just begin to hear a 'squishing' noise as you massage.
 

Important: always administer medicine to its full term for it to be effective. When administering medication stay calm - your pet can sense if you are nervous, making it more difficult to apply the treatment. Always praise and reward your pet with a treat.
