Keep Daisy’s ears dry at bath time

Ahh, spring. Your pooch loves getting outside to play and jump in muddy puddles, which means more baths for her. But frequent bathing can lead to painful ear infections when water gets trapped in the ear canal. The key to warding off infections: Keep your dog’s ears dry in the bath. The vet-approved how-to: Shape a cotton ball into a cone and carefully insert the narrow end into the ear to prevent water from getting into the ear canal.
