Why does my dog keep on getting ear infections?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Excess moisture is a common cause of ear infections, so be sure to thoroughly dry your dog's ears after swimming and bathing. If your dog is prone to chronic or recurrent ear infections, identifying and managing any underlying causes such as allergies can help prevent new infections from occurring.


How can I prevent my dog from getting recurrent ear infections?

Keep ears dry and clean, or your dog may face recurrent ear infections that are difficult to treat. Avoid using drying agents on a regular basis—if there's no problem they can dry out the ear too much, and if the ear is oozing there's a reason for it. Drying it up without treating the cause leads to more ear problems.

What foods cause ear infections in dogs?

Dogs that suffer from allergies, either environmental, such as pollens (grasses, trees and weeds), dust mites, molds or food (beef, chicken, fish, soy, etc.) are predisposed to ear infections.
