Bothersome flies and small insects around your dog's ears, especially during warmer months, can lead to 'fly-bite dermatitis.' This causes irritation, scabs, and even bleeding on the ear tips, which can then attract more flies. Keeping the dog in a screened area during peak insect activity, using pet-safe fly repellents (ensure they are labeled for dogs), and applying a soothing, protective balm can help. If the ears are already raw or infected, a vet visit is recommended. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
