What Is Included in Our Ear Cleaning Service?
Professional ear cleaning is designed to help keep the visible outer ear clean and comfortable as part of routine grooming. During your dog's appointment, our groomers use professional products formulated specifically for canine ears and work carefully to avoid causing unnecessary discomfort.
Our Ear Cleaning service typically includes:
- A visual check of the outer ear.
- Gentle cleaning of the visible ear flap and outer ear.
- Removal of everyday wax build-up where appropriate.
- Removal of loose dirt and debris.
- A visual inspection for anything that may require veterinary attention.
- Advice on maintaining healthy ears between appointments.
Please note: Ear cleaning carried out during grooming is part of routine hygiene and is not a veterinary examination, diagnosis or treatment. If we notice signs such as unusual discharge, swelling, a strong odour, excessive redness or anything else that causes concern, we will recommend that you arrange an examination with your veterinary practice.
Why Regular Ear Cleaning Matters
Some dogs naturally produce more ear wax than others, while floppy ears, hairy ear canals and active outdoor lifestyles can increase the likelihood of debris becoming trapped around the outer ear.
Routine professional ear cleaning helps to:
- Maintain good ear hygiene.
- Remove visible wax build-up.
- Remove dirt, dust and loose debris.
- Support overall ear comfort.
- Complement your dog's regular grooming routine.
- Provide an opportunity for visual observation of the outer ear.
- Help owners keep ears cleaner between appointments.
Combined with regular home checks, professional grooming appointments provide another opportunity to monitor your dog's ears as part of their ongoing care.
Breeds That Benefit from Regular Ear Care
Although every dog can benefit from routine ear cleaning, some breeds require more regular maintenance because of their ear shape, coat type or lifestyle.
We commonly provide ear cleaning for:
- Cocker Spaniels.
- Springer Spaniels.
- Cockapoos.
- Cavapoos.
- Labradoodles.
- Goldendoodles.
- Poodles.
- Basset Hounds.
- Golden Retrievers.
- Labrador Retrievers.

If you own one of these breeds, regular ear care alongside coat maintenance can help keep your dog comfortable throughout the year.

- Full grooming appointments.
- Bath and Dry visits.
- Maintenance grooming sessions.
- Puppy introduction appointments.
By incorporating ear care into your dog's regular grooming schedule, you can help maintain good hygiene without adding additional stress to your pet.
