Dog Ear Cleaning in Miami, FL
Miami is humid, and dogs here swim. Both leave moisture sitting in the ear, which is where most ear problems start. We clean the outer ear on every dog that comes through, included with every bath and full groom, and we tell you if something looks like it needs a vet rather than a groomer.

Dog Ear Cleaning in Miami, FL
Warm, damp and dark is exactly the environment yeast and bacteria want, and a floppy ear in Miami humidity is all three. Add a swim in the bay or a pool and the moisture sits in there for hours.
Regular cleaning removes the wax and debris that traps that moisture, and it gives someone a reason to look inside your dog’s ears every few weeks. That is often how a problem gets caught early rather than after it has been going on for a month.
We clean the outer ear only, with a dog safe ear cleaner and cotton. We do not go into the ear canal, that is a vet’s job. If we see redness, a strong smell, dark discharge or your dog reacting painfully, we will tell you and recommend you get it checked. Ear cleaning is included in our dog bath services and every full groom in Miami at our Edgewater salon. Barky Lounge provides dog grooming services in Miami from NE 18th Street.
What Ear Cleaning Includes
- Visual check of both ears before we start
- Dog safe ear cleaning solution applied to the outer ear
- Wax, dirt and debris gently removed with cotton
- Excess fur around the ear opening tidied where it blocks airflow, the same way we handle the ear edges in dog face trimming
- Ears dried properly after the bath, which matters more than the cleaning itself
We tell you what we saw, especially if anything looked off

Dogs That Need Ear Cleaning Most
| Your dog | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Jumps up on people | Rounded nails do not scratch |
| Lives on hardwood or tile | No clicking, no scratches, better grip |
| Has dark nails | We can take more off safely, working gradually |
| Catches nails on bedding or carpet | A sharp clipped edge is usually the cause |
| Has dewclaws that curl | These get missed at home and can grow into the pad |
| Hates having paws handled | Grinding a few at a time with breaks is easier than clipping |

Dog Ear Cleaning in Miami, Frequently Asked Questions
Is ear cleaning included or extra?
Included with every bath and full groom, at no extra charge.
Do you pluck ear hair?
We tidy excess fur around the ear opening where it blocks airflow. Plucking inside the canal is debated among vets and can cause irritation, so we do not do it as standard. Ask us if your vet has specifically recommended it.
My dog's ears smell. Can you fix it?
No, and neither can any groomer. A smell usually means yeast or a bacterial infection and needs a vet. We will clean what we safely can and tell you what we saw. If it’s more of an all-over smell, see why your dog still smells after a bath.
How often should ears be cleaned?
Every groom, so every 4 to 6 weeks for most dogs. Swimmers and floppy eared breeds benefit from more often. See how often to groom your dog.
Can I clean my dog's ears at home?
The outer ear, yes, with a dog ear cleaner and cotton. Never a cotton bud, and never into the canal.
Do you treat ear infections?
No. We are groomers, not vets. If we see signs of one we will tell you so you can get it looked at.
