A recent video of a well-known pet blogger's "Paw Classroom" showed that correct cleaning can reduce the incidence of ear diseases by 76%. It is recommended that owners establish an "Ear Health File" to record data such as each cleaning time and earwax status. This is a new trend in the current pet care field.
If you notice abnormal discharge (such as brown waxy matter), persistent odor, or your dog frequently scratches its ears, you should seek medical attention immediately. Remember: preventive care is always better than cure!
