Understanding Ear Mites And How To Avoid Them
Of all types of canine parasites, ear mites are the most common. Dogs with droopy ears, particularly English Cocker Spaniel, Bloodhound, Basset Hound, and Miniature Schnauzer, are prone to ear mites.

Ear mites can be frustrating to deal with because they keep coming back. Before treating the condition, my advice is to find out what’s causing ear mites to reoccur to prevent the problem from happening again.
