Ear Wipes vs. Ear Cleaner — Which Does Your Dog Need?

Both ear wipes and ear cleaner are great tools — but they’re not the same thing. Think of it like brushing vs. flossing. Here’s when to use each, why they work better together, and how to build a routine that keeps your dog’s ears clean and comfortable year-round.

Daily Wipes: For Outer Ear Maintenance

Use ear wipes to:

• Remove dirt, pollen, dust, and light wax
• Keep floppy or dirty ears fresh
• Gently clean after play, rain, or hikes
  Best for: daily or 3x/week use

Deep Cleaner: For the Ear Canal

Use liquid ear cleaner to:

• Break up built-up wax deep in the canal
• Flush out odor-causing bacteria
• Rinse after swimming, muddy play, or flare-ups
  Best for: weekly use or as neededPro tip: Let your dog shake after applying — it helps pull wax and debris out naturally.

 Together = Best Results

Use wipes daily and cleaner weekly for maximum comfort, fewer infections, and happy ear scratches.
