About this ebook
This is a fully illustrated dog care e-book in the Dog Grooming Guides series published by Puppy Care Education.
A guide for all dog owners who want to know more about caring for their dog’s ears. Ear infections can lead to deafness and chronic ear problems, but there are many things an owner can do to help prevent them from occurring.
Many aspects of the grooming of your dog’s ears are about ear health not beauty. For long-coated dogs, trimming around and under the ear and plucking out excess ear-hair from inside the dog’s ear is about making your dog’s life healthier and more enjoyable.
This Puppy Care Education dog-grooming guide on caring for your dog’s ears is full of detailed information, drawings, and photos covering the function and care of the dog’s ear.
Your dog will be healthier and enjoy life more with well-cared-for ears.
