hey everyone this is Bruno he is our basset hounds over here at Miami basset hounds calm I'm here with my wife Natalia she is the breeder and I'm going to be narrating this this segment we're having on pet care this is more for the the puppies some of the new owners wanted to know how to clean their ears and we figured we'd do a video and show you guys how to do this there this is Bella she's about seven weeks old and she's going to get her chance now the trick to the trick here is to do this when they're young so that way you know when they're old they don't fuss as much all right let's see Bruno if he wants to cooperate with us today hey Bruno do you want to cooperate with us today yeah yeah yeah okay let's see um so Bruno's ears are fairly clean uh because he's an indoor dog so they tend to need the cleaning less than the outdoor dogs but this is the proper technique to do this what what you want to do is you want to go to your local vet and we use a solution called opti soothes I believe OD soothes and we've been using this for years and it doesn't seem to hurt or bother him much and it does a really good job of getting all that he walks out he walks out so without further ado let's see it all right now he's gonna shake his head that's normal in the instructions it'll say that hold it she's massaging up the stuff into his ear right now he's going to want to shake it out as soon as he's done and that's completely done she's getting all the junky water out of there and then she'll use a paper towel with smaller dogs or you can use cotton balls we like to use paper towel Bruno because he has big old floppy ears and we want to make sure that that we pull out all that nasty earwax all right as you can see with you know he's done this a lot of time so he kind of likes it now no is it a massage like this this feels good mama took everything inside so I'm going to show you the details but this is the point of the video right let me get those ears brand-new again okay these dogs very important that you keep your ear screen now in the second one otherwise they can get some here in fact like Bruno is a Spanish basset so he responds you Spanish commands now look liquid sit down let me see mom hold on the paper boy Bryn sigh is massage he's happy look like it flat and now he's your dark King good boy all right that's it and that's how you clean the Basset ears next we'll show you how we do it on the puppy
