Gently clean the external eye area and ear folds as needed — often weekly for low-maintenance pets and more frequently for prone breeds. Use pet-formulated wipes or saline for eyes and vet-approved ear cleansers. If you notice persistent debris, odor, or irritation, consult your veterinarian for guidance.

Some mild, pet-specific lubricating eye drops and saline rinses are okay for minor irritation, but avoid human medications. Always check labels and follow usage instructions. If symptoms persist, worsen, or your pet shows pain or vision changes, contact your veterinarian for a proper assessment and treatment plan.

Nutrition influences overall health, including eyes and ears. Balanced diets with essential fatty acids and antioxidants support skin, coat, and mucous membranes. In cases of chronic issues, a veterinary diet may be recommended; discuss such products with your veterinarian to confirm they suit your pet’s condition and treatment needs.

Allergies often cause itching, redness, and recurrent ear scratching, while infections can produce foul odor, yellow or green discharge, and pain. If you see these signs, avoid home remedies beyond gentle cleaning and seek veterinary advice to determine the cause and appropriate management.

High-quality supplements can complement care, especially omega oils and antioxidants, but not all products are necessary or safe for every pet. Discuss options with your veterinarian to confirm correct dosages, quality, and potential interactions with medications. Rely on professional guidance before starting any supplement regimen.
