Dogs with floppy ears are more prone to ear infections because air cannot circulate as easily, trapping in moisture and bacteria. 

Here are some symptoms to look out for:

• Redness
• Swelling
• Discharge
• Strong odour

Vet-Recommended Solutions To This Pesky Problem:

1. Keep them clean & check them frequently - gently wipe the inside of your dog's ears with a cotton ball or soft cloth moistened with a solution specifically made for cleaning dog's ears (NEVER use solutions made for humans).

2. Dry your dog's ears after swimming or bathing - this is an often forgotten step. Make sure you dry them thoroughly to prevent moisture from building up.

3. Avoid using cotton swabs - NEVER use cotton swabs or any other objects into your dog's ears as it can cause damage to the ear canal. 

4. Grooming  - regularly groom your dog's ears and keep them trimmed to prevent hair from blocking their ear canal. 

5. Consult with your vet - if your dog has a history of ear infections or other ear problems, it's always important you talk to your vet about what you can do to prevent them.
