Have you seen your dog shaking their head or scratching behind their ears? These are signs of ear infections, which occur most often in the summertime. Dogs who swim or have baths often in the summer need to have their ears dried with a soft cloth, especially if they have heavy ear flaps that keep the air out. Ear infections can also be the result of allergies to food or the outdoor environment. Look inside your dog’s ear, and if you see anything other than a clean, pink, healthy ear, it’s important to bring them in for immediate veterinary care.
