    I know they exist for ear infections, no idea what the purpose would be outside that though. Putting q-tips in their ears is probably safer than our ears? The problem in our ears is that it tends to just shove wax deeper and compact it and if you keep doing that it means you just block your ear with a bunch of wax. Dog ears are much wider so I figure it's less likely you run into that problem.

    Still probably not particularly useful.

      I dunno what dog ears look like inside, but wouldn't you run the risk of smashing their ear drums? And then giving them swimmer's ear/hearing loss.

      But even if not, it's probably not worth doing anyways yeah

        I mean I guess you run that risk in the same sense that you run the risk of cutting their paw pads when trimming fur or poking them in the eye with the funny lil brush

        But with a dog this chill I seriously doubt it's likely
