Yogurt for ears? What type? Any thoughts?

[trapper66]

Any thoughts on this? Also what type of yogurt? Does it help?

Lol, I have no idea if it helps, but my pup LOVES it!

I use plain (unflavored) Greek yogurt. A heaping tablespoon and I mix it in with her kibble.

Sometimes it's twice a day, sometimes once a day (she eats 3x a day).

I am so glad you said this, I just had visions of a poor pup with white gooey stuff in her ears!!

Providing something to chew, like bully sticks or knuckle bones is important. My vet suggested I make kissy noises to the pup so he'd pick up his ears and strengthen the muscles.

When I first started looking for something to combat Gunnar's chronic ear infections, I was online and saw something about yogurt for ears......now, I'm not a genius, but I don't think I'm a complete moron (my wife disagrees) and I was always told that straight diary products were bad for a dog, so I figured the same thing, you must put it in their ears.

Glad I was wrong.
