Pet ear care this summer!

Clean and dry your pet's ears after they go swimming this summer season, this can help prevent ear infections.  Dog ears can get filled with water, dirt, debris and anything else that is in the water while they are swimming. This along with the warm temperature of the ears make ears the perfect environment for bacteria and yeast to grow. 

By cleaning and drying the ears after swimming, the chance for ear infections is greatly decreased.  Taking a few extra minutes to clean and dry those ears can save you money at the vet office.
