Why Should You Clean Your Bulldog and French Bulldog’s Ears?

Preventive ear cleaning is critical for bulldogs and French bulldogs because their ears do not self-clean like other dog breeds.

Does Bulldog Ear Cleaning Prevent Infection?

Yes, cleaning bulldogs and French bulldog ears helps prevent and manage

  • bacterial infections
  • yeast
  • mites
  • allergic otitis
  • irreversible painful end-stage diseases

How to Clean Your Bulldog and French Bulldog Puppies’ Ears:

Follow those simple 4 Steps:

#1 ➡️EAR CLEANSING WIPES:
Remove debris from the ear flap with Dr. Kraemer’s Bully Ear Cleanser Wipe. 

#2 ➡️EAR RINSING:
Pour our Bully WaxLess Aloe or Yeasty Bully Ear rinse into your puppy’s ear canal.

#3 ➡️EAR CANAL MASSAGE:
Massage the ear canal for a few seconds.

#4 ➡️EAR DRYING:
Dry the ear with a cotton ball, cleansing wipe, or gauze.  

Note: The external ear canal runs vertically and then turns 90 degrees to a horizontal part leading to the eardrum. A cotton ball will not pass the curve and hurt the eardrum.

How Often Should I Clean My French Bulldog Puppy Ears?

Depending on the health of the ears, it can vary from daily care to every other day.

A Tufts University veterinary school graduate, he built and ran a Southern California veterinary hospital dedicated exclusively to these two breeds, and spent over 20 years working almost entirely with them, including years of rescue work alongside So Cal Bulldog Rescue. In practice he combined conventional medicine and surgery with regenerative therapies including stem cell treatment, PRP and therapeutic laser, alongside nutrition, topical therapy and supplements. His emphasis throughout has been preventive care and longevity rather than treating problems once they take hold. He has been asked to comment on Bulldog and French Bulldog health by Business Insider, HuffPost, The US Sun, NBC Los Angeles and the OC Register.
