Flies, especially biting flies, can cause significant irritation and even lead to ear tips bleeding from constant biting, particularly in outdoor dogs. This can also predispose to secondary infections. Regular cleaning of the ear area, using veterinarian-approved fly repellents specifically formulated for dogs (never human products), and providing shaded areas can help. Check for any open sores or scabs on the ear edges. If irritation is severe or infected, consult your vet. Speaking to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
