How can you prevent

ear infections in pets?

Keeping your pet’s ears clean with UPC pet ear cleaner is the best way to help remove any debris or dirt that could potentially lead to an infection.

How do you clean

your pet’s ears?

Get two cotton pieces of wool. One cotton for each ear to prevent spreading ear infection if one ear might have an infection.
Spray the cotton wool with UPC ear cleaner until the cotton wool is wet.
Take the cotton wool and put it in the dog's ear and gently wipe the ear out with your finger (no deeper then the depth of one knuckle).
Take a new cotton wool and repeat with the other ear.
