You can begin the natural methods to get rid of ear mites in dogs, and if the itching, inflammation and odor stop, you’ll know you’ve managed the problem. Olive Oil can be used to suffocate and kill the mites, apply a few drops of olive oil to your dog's ears and gently massage the base of the ear to distribute it. Vinegar Solution can also be used to clean your dog's ears, mix equal parts of apple cider vinegar and water to create a solution. Coconut Oil can help soothe irritated ears, apply a small amount of melted coconut oil to a cotton ball and gently massage it into the ear canal. Green Tea can help remove the “coffee grounds” debris, steep a tea bag or 1T of loose green tea in a cup of hot water, let it cool and then put 2-4 drops in each ear and massage gently.
Supporting your dog's immune system by feeding a fresh whole food diet with essential nutrients and probiotics can also help prevent ear mites. Keeping your dog's ears dry after bathing or swimming can create an inhospitable environment for mites. Checking your dog's ears regularly for signs of mites or infections can help you tackle them quickly. Minimizing chemicals in your dog’s environment and maintaining a clean living environment can also help prevent ear mites.
