Plucking Dogs Ears (How To From A Professional Groomer!) 

Thanks so much for watching! We would love to hear if your dog has ever had their ears plucked?

Great video. Its amazing how many people make comments but dont listen to what she said. Everyone crying about it. Some dogs need it or they get infected some dogs dont need it and causes ear infections. A little uncomfortable now stops a lot of pain later. I have 3 poodles. 2 i dont pluck 1 i have to. My 60lb girl has the smallest ear canal with a lot hair.

Thank you for being so curent and constantly educating people. Thank you for not blindly do things merely because either the procedures have been done by everyone or they have been done forever and this is the way they train groomers.... Furthermore thank you for showing how plucking should be done with care and at the same time as fast as one can do it to be cognizant of the emotional welfare of the dog and emphasising cleaning the ears afterwards.

I just got my boy, Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, in December. He’s 5 months old. Just got his first cut down which removed all his dark hair on his back. He got a real bad ear infection and I took him to the vet and she put that metal clamper thing in his ear and twisted it and pulled out a gang of hairs! He didn’t even cry. I was amazed at how much hair was in there. I had to put antibiotics in his ear BID for 10 days. I want to prevent this from happening again. So thank you for the advice on just going through his ears while we’re hanging out and pulling some out. I’m watching your videos on grooming also. I can do this and with practice will perfect the wheaten-doo. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I appreciate your videos.

I have a new puppy and this is the first time having a breed that needs ear plucking (Irish Soft Coated Wheaten) & am super anxious about doing this to him. (I never heard of this until my breeder educated me) Your empathy with the dog is more than I have seen in the videos I've been viewing, & I appreciate you and that you focused on health implications both pluses and minuses to doing this or not, & why you opt not to as much anymore. Subscribing!

You do such a great job of showing what to do by explaining. I grew up having a poodle and have mini schnauzers now. My least favorite thing is plucking the ears. I know how necessary it is but I feel like I am hurting them. Better to hurt them a little than have an ear infection though so I do it. You explain so well. Thank you for the great job you do.

Loved all your advice, but my dog is anxious 😟

Ear hair should be done at every grooming appointment. If you don’t, the hair builds up, you get the mats deep down in the ear canals, and nasty infections. And the more a dog has their ears done, the more comfortable they are with it, especially if you do it consistently so that you are never running into big problems. That being said, not all dogs ears need to be plucked

I wanted to add that I love my boy’s eyelashes! They are so long!! SC Wheaten Terrier mom of Tanner Whiskey.

That instrument is called a hemastat

Eu tirei o curso de auxiliar de veterinária e para o cão tar a ganir e pq o tas a aleijar....

I dont understand a lot of pain in little bits as opposed to a lot of pain one time.

Great demo!!

Pull faster , your pulling so slow as if you are trying to hurt the dog. Like pulling a bandaid off of a wound so slowly instead of fast.

That looks and sounds like torture! Vets say this can cause micro tears in their ear canals causing MORE infections. Please educate yourself and talk to your vet before subjecting your pup to this pain!

She's definitely in pain
