Should I be plucking/pulling the hair from my dog’s ears?

Depends on the dog.

Some dogs do better having the hair pulled from their ears, as the hair likes to trap moisture in the ear canal – potentially causing an ear infection.

Other dogs, who get the ear pulled from their ears, can become so irritated that it causes an ear infection.

Use your best judgment when asking your groomer and/or veterinary staff if you want it done.
