How to Naturally Cure a ear infection in a dog

Personally, when it comes to using natural medicine, I would be careful. For one, you have no idea what your dog may be allergic to and as a dog, there may be certain ingredients within natural products that aren't healthy for him or her. Whenever my dog has something going on such as an ear infection or more, I go straight to the Vet to see what I can do to help him get better. Yes, it costs money and yes, it may not be natural, but THAT should be the place where you begin to ask questions and look for other options than the medication that they require you to buy. For example, if my dog did have an ear infection, I could ask about using garlic and lavender oil and if that would be considered healthy. You're paying for your time with them, so ask whatever you can. Knowing all Vets, they have pets of their own and they would probably be just as natural and know a couple tricks to prevent buying scientifically proven medication for their animals too. So I would give that a try first before using natural remedies that are often used on humans.
