Frequent ear cleaning is not necessary for every cat. Always clean your cat’s ears only under veterinary instruction🩺. Over-cleaning irritates the ear canal and increases the risk of inflammation and secondary infectionāš ļø.


Cats have delicate, curved ear canals with high sensitivity. Care must be gentle and calm to avoid stress or injury.


āœ… Correct Cleaning Method

- Apply a suitable amount of veterinary ear cleaner gently into the ear canalšŸ’§

- Softly massage the base of the ear to dissolve debris; keep movements gentle to avoid startling your catšŸ”‰āœ…

- Pat dry only the outer ear, then let your cat shake their head to remove residual fluid naturallyšŸ’¦


āŒ Never do this

- Avoid using cotton buds deep inside the ear canal. It may cause ear injury, eardrum damage and leave cotton residue, leading to chronic irritation and recurring ear problems😣.


āš ļø Seek vet consultation immediately if:

Your cat shows frequent ear scratching, head shaking, foul odour, excessive discharge or redness🦠. Fit an e-collar promptly and consult your vet for early treatment to prevent condition worseningšŸ‘©šŸ»āš•ļøšŸ©ŗ.


Professional daily ear care keeps your cat comfortable and healthy šŸ’–šŸ¾Feel free to contact us for any pet health enquiries šŸ“žšŸ’¬
