If your dog’s ears twitch when you scratch them... it might not be affection 👇

Vet’s Best just saved my ears—fellow dog mums, have you smelled your Rottie’s lately?

Say Goodbye to Funky Ears with Vet's Best Ear Cleaning Pads (Spoiler: Your Pup Will Thank You)

Because what comes out of your Rottie’s ears should never smell like week-old socks

Hoomans, let’s get real. You use Vet’s Best for your pup’s itchy skin, calming chews, or dental care—but have you ever peeked inside your Rottweiler’s ears and thought, “Uh-oh... what is that smell?” Welcome to the earwax jungle, my friends. 😳

Turns out, a Rottie’s ears might look all cool and majestic until you realise they’re kind of like little sound caves—warm, dark, and perfect for waxy mayhem. That’s where Vet’s Best Ear Cleaning Finger Wipes step in with the grace of a spa treatment and the efficiency of a squirrel chase.

When Rottie Ears Go Rogue (Trust Me, Mine Did)

My left ear started doing this weird twitchy thing every time Mum tried to scratch behind it. At first, she thought I was being dramatic (how rude), but then came the sniff test. Let’s just say… she gagged. We tried cotton balls. Then she said the words no dog wants to hear: “Let’s go to the vet.”

But instead of traumatising me with poky tools and awkward greetings from cats in the waiting room, she discovered these genius Vet’s Best Finger Wipes loaded with aloe vera and natural ingredients. One swipe and my ears went from “do NOT go near there” to “yep, scratch away, hooman.”

The Big Perks in a Tiny Pad

  • Guided by touch: Unlike hard plastic droppers or swabs, these finger pads let you feel exactly what you're doing. Which is lucky, because hoomans seem to lose all coordination under pressure.
  • Soothing yet strong: Dirt, wax, and stinky stuff dissolve with a gentle rub. No flinching. No ear twitches. No running around the living room like you’re trying to apply lava inside my head.
  • Smell? What smell? The plant-based formula leaves ears clean and neutral—not "like you bathed me in flowers" weird.
  • Dog-vetted (literally): I kept still the whole time. That’s how nice it felt. I even tried to lick the pad afterwards—because I’m gross but thorough, okay?

How Often Is ‘Too Often’?

Let’s paws for a second and get practical. Over-cleaning ears can actually cause irritation. My vet-guru says once a week is just right for most floppy-eared breeds. Unless your pup goes swimming, rolls in sand, or tries to dig to the centre of the earth (hi, that’s me), then maybe twice. Just never shove anything deep—these are clean-outside-the-ear-wax pads, not brain ticklers.

Wait—Do All Dogs Need These?

Certain breeds like yours truly (the noble Rottweiler) are more prone to buildup thanks to our ear shape and tendency to drool upwards, sideways, and occasionally into our own ears. But even perky-eared pups get gunk. If your dog’s been shaking their head or their ears smell like a forgotten lunchbox, cleaning is overdue.

A Quick Pup-to-Hooman Guide on Using Them

  1. Wash your hands (I don’t care if the packet is ‘anti-bacterial,’ hooman hygiene matters too).
  2. Slip the finger pad onto your index finger like a glove of ear-healing justice.
  3. Lift the ear flap and gently wipe inside—you’ll feel the shape and know when to stop.
  4. Toss the wipe. Give a treat. Take a sniff. Marvel at your good work.

Bonus tip: Keep the wipes in the fridge for a refreshing summer treat (for my ears, not your snacks).

Why This Beats the Old Method (Sorry, Cotton Pads)

I used to dread the cotton ball and spray combo. Two hands, ten swear words, and one sneaky escape attempt later—we’d both be covered in ear spray and emotional damage. Now? It’s swipe and done in 30 seconds flat. No stress. No chase scenes. No drama-rama nap delays. 😴

The Clever Hooman Takeaway

Your dog’s ears aren’t something to ‘deal with later.’ They’re the portals of squirrel awareness and snack alerts. Keeping them clean isn’t just hygiene—it’s love, comfort, and a one-way ticket to tail-wags and guilt-free ear scratches. These Vet’s Best finger wipes may look small but trust me, they’re basically a magic trick for ear funk.

So, go sniff your dog’s ears (seriously). If your nose twitches, it might be time to add a little more spa to their routine. You handle the wipes, I’ll handle the judging if you don’t.

Big clean ears, bigger love — see ya in the next sniff-snap.

Love, Thor 🐾
