The Ear Police
Saving Our Pets from
Unneccesary Suffering

(from the July 2004 issue of  the HealthyPetNet News)

Ears should be a real point of concern for owners of young animals. They’re so active in their youth. They play on the lawn and roll around on the carpet.  These surfaces can contain bacteria and parasites that can affect their ears. From puppy and kittenhood, we should get ourselves and our pets into the habit of ear cleaning at least once a week. This also applies to other types of grooming. It’s much harder to train an older pet to stand still while we brush their teeth, clean their ears and shampoo their coats. 
If you have just brought home a youngin’, then now is the time. 
It’s advisable to avoid cleaning their ears with the chemical solutions found at most pet stores. They may irritate your pet’s ears.

Natural minded people would be more apt to use herbal solutions. Since the turn of the century, we have gone back to our roots and become more partial to herbs, which help rebalance tissue.

Herbs support the ear by providing the skin of the ear and the ear canal with the nutrients it needs to remain healthy. A properly formulated natural ear product changes the ears environment so that its less apt to fall prey to unwanted organisms. A wax-ridden, oily, unhealthy ear is a magnet to parasites.

The whole idea of the natural mentality is to keep your pet well and out of the vets office. If we nip the cause in the bud, there will be no effect. For instance, say your dog gets an ear infection. The typical way of thinking is to fix it right away with medication without giving much thought as to what the cause of the ear infection was in the first place.  Perhaps your dog has oilier-than-normal ears because of its breed.  Maybe we can decrease the amount of oil it's ears produce by changing the food from a supermarket brand to a premium brand and by cleaning the ears more often. This is holistic living.

Also, take a look at the skin and coat. If the coat is lackluster and the skin is flaky and oily, who's to say that the ears wont be a reflection of that?

After all, the ear is just skin. This means our pets should be eating the best food and getting their ears cleaned two to three times weekly.

HealthyPetNet's Herbal Ear Formula is a blend of therapeutic herbs and mild cleansers to help clean ears, remove wax and other debris that could potentially lead to infections and parasites.  It also soothes minor irritations and leaves ears dry, which discourages the regrowth of harmful organisms.

Our Herbal Ear Formula is not made to deal with serious ear problems.

If your pet's ears don't look better within one week, it's best to contact your family veterinarian.
