Do Not pour anything down the dogs ear that is not prescribed by the vet. The inside of dogs ears are tender, and straight peroxide is good for alot of things, but not inside your dogs ear, it can burn it and mnake it bleed inside. DO NOT USE IT and stay with the stuff your vet said to use.

DON'T put hydrogen-peroxide in a dog's ears. The stuff fizzes up and is very sore, also you risk damaging the ear drum. If the stuff you've got from the vets doesn't work, go back ad try another one of course! There are many different ones available, for different conditions. If you have got a basic ear cleaner, it may be that there is an infection going on in there that requires antibiotic ear drops. Your vet will want to know if what he's given you isn't working. If they don't hear from you they'll assume all is well! Just DON'T use hydrogen-peroxide. Ouch. Chalice

I woulden't even attempt to put Hydrogen peroxide in a dogs ear it will do more damage that good. I would continue to use the medication that that you have. You could also use Q-tips and lightly clean the dogs ear, DO NOT GO TO DEEP

Do not pour peroxide in your dogs ears, it is not a good thing to do.
Go to your vet and purchase some Epiotic or similar ear cleaner, that is the best option.
If you need it before Monday, then go to the petstore and buy some ear cleaning stuff in the medication section.
Note: Keep peroxide on hand in case of accidental pet poisonings. If your pet ingests something it shouldn't have, call your vet or overnight emergency pet clinic. Often, you will need to induce vomiting which can be achieved by feeding your pet hydrogen peroxide, usually 1-3 tablespoons. Please contact a veterinarian if poisoning is suspected and follow their instructions as to whether to induce vomiting and how much peroxide to use for your dog specifically. (or cat)
Having it on hand can be a life saver, along with your vet's phone numbers.

I think it's better to use an ear cleaner made for dogs. Hydrogen peroxide will work, but I wouldn't pour it in the ear canal. Use a cotton pad and swab the inside. Does your dog have ear problems or do you just need to clean them?

I use it in my own ears. Diluted half hydrogen peroxide and half warm/hot water to make it a comfortable temperature.
Doctors have told my huband to use it for his ears. I have also heard of vets recommending it. However IT REALLY SUCKS. Seriously I can not discribe the feeling of it bubbling way yuck! It really works though.
Only put in between 1tsp and 1tblsp (depending on size) you aren't trying to drown him!
Oh and another thing, the hydrogen peroxide from the dollar store is best, some of the stuff from drugstores contains chemical stablizers that are TOXIC! Please read bottles carefully.

Why don't you test it out on your tender membranes? Just pour the damn bottle in each of your ears and then see what happens.
First of all thank you for posting the question before you did that. Just moisten a cloth, q-tip or tissue with the hydrogen peroxide and then using your finger gently swab the insides of his ears being careful not to go to deep inside.

I dont think think peroxide will do any damage to your dogs ears. My husband had some build up in there and he would a bulb syringe with peroxide and a bit of water and it cleaned his ears out after a couple of times of doing it. When you go to the dr's office for wax build up that is usually what they squeeze into your ears to clean them out. Hope this helps.

Talked with a vet about using diluted peroxide on my dogs ears, he said it is an excellent cleaning agent as long as the ear canals are swabbed of pooled liquid.

You can use the ear cleaning solutions sold for humans. My vet told me that hydrogen peroxide is not good for dogs' ears, but the stuff they sell for humans is okay.
