Hey, happy Sunday!
Okay, I’m going to teach you something important about dog hair plucking.
Bad odor in the dog's ears.
Excess moisture
Infections
Constant itching
Redness or pain
Most dogs will shake their heads excessively if you notice something wrong with their ears.
It’s important to keep dogs’ ears clean without plucking the hair unnecessarily. Regular ear checks and proper cleaning help keep their ears healthy and prevent potential infections. Always check their ears daily for any signs of problems.
If you don’t take care of their ears, the condition can get worse. Watch for signs like redness, swelling, repeated scratching, pain, or bleeding.
Swelling or sores
Sensitivity, irritation, and persistent head shaking.
You need to have your dog checked by a vet. That’s important!
Most of my clients ask me to trim their dogs’ ear hair. I always say sure, but I don’t pluck the ear hair because it can cause serious irritation. Some clients tell me their vets recommend not plucking the hair and just keeping the ears clean and neatly trimmed.
I’m teaching you the correct way to position the dog’s head. Just stay still. It won’t bite you!
When plucking the ear hair, make sure the dog stays still and doesn’t move. If the dog seems uncomfortable, use a gentle, reassuring voice to get their attention. You can say things like, “Hey, it’s okay. You’re doing great!” to help them feel calm and comfortable.
A professional ear plucking tool
I use ear powder when plucking to help reduce discomfort. Plucking without powder may cause irritation, discomfort, or even minor bleeding.
It can lead to serious ear infections
Show Tech+ Safety Ear Forceps 14cm
Too much hair in the ears can lead to ear problems and infections. Therefore, it is important to remove excess hair from the dog's ears. These Safety Ear Forceps, specially designed for professional use, are a must-have! What makes this tool different from most is the wider tip. Removing hair from the ears of larger breeds or of dogs with a lot of hair in their ears is safe and easy with these forceps.
Safe ear plucking
When there is too much hair in a dog’s ear, earwax can accumulate in the ear canal and there is no longer sufficient air circulation. In time, this can lead to excess earwax and even ear infections. Excessive hair in the ears often causes itching as well. With these stainless-steel and scissor-like tweezers in your hand, you can easily and safely remove excess hair from your furry friend’s ear canal.
Because the tips of these forceps are wider than average, this hair-removal tool is a real workhorse. It allows the groomer to effortlessly and efficiently epilate many hairs at once, which makes these forceps especially suited for larger breeds and dogs with overgrown hair in the ears.
Plucking with these Show Tech+ Safety Ear Forceps is not only quick, but also safe! Thanks to the large and rounded safety tip, there is much less chance of hurting the dog. We are sure you’ll love working with these forceps!

Use instructions
Even though these forceps have a wider serrated tip, caution is advised. For the safety of the dog and accurate ear plucking, they do not feature a self-locking system.
For optimal treatment, it is recommended to use the Show Tech Ear Powder, which will make the moist, oily hairs in the ears drier and will ensure quicker and painless ear plucking. To clean the ear canal more thoroughly and remove earwax, you can also use the forceps in combination with ear wipes. You can do this easily by putting an ear wipe around the tip of the forceps. By working in this way, you can clean the ear right down to the smallest curve.
