Why Your Dog’s Itchy Ears Might Be a Gut Problem
If your dog constantly scratches their ears or suffers from recurring infections, you’re not alone. While most pet parents reach for wipes or cleaners (which help!), the real root cause might be deeper — in the gut. Let’s explore the connection between ear health and gut balance, and how a full-body routine can bring lasting relief.
Like humans, dogs have a gut microbiome that impacts more than just digestion — it plays a huge role in immune response and inflammation. When that system is out of balance, inflammation can show up anywhere — including the ears.
Signs of internal imbalance:
- Recurring ear infections
- Excess ear wax
- Yeasty or musty smell
- Itchy paws and ears
- Digestive issues (gassiness, soft stool)
If you're seeing more than one of these, it's time to think beyond topical care.
A healthy gut supports a healthy immune system — and fewer ear flare-ups. That’s why we recommend a 3-part approach:
- Daily Gut Health Chews – for microbiome balance & skin support
- Ear Wipes – for gentle daily removal of allergens & buildup in the outer ear
- Ear Cleaner – for a deeper weekly clean to reset the canal
This simple combo supports your dog inside and out — so they’re not just comfortable today but protected long term.
