A gentle swabbing with a cotton ball dipped in mineral or baby oil, or a vet-approved ear-cleaning solution, keeps your dog's outer ear clean and dry. Dogs with floppy ears, such as a Great Dane, will need more frequent ear cleanings than their counterparts with upright ears because air doesn't circulate as freely; waxy and bacteria-laden debris tends to build up in the moist atmosphere under the flaps. Ear swabbing is doubly important if your floppy-eared-dog loves to go in water.
