[MEG: Yes, it is a JOKE! Please do not put Nair in your dog's ear! Use a little talcum powder in the ear to make a better grip and pull the hair out of the ear canal a little at a time with your finger and thumb in a pinching movement.]
I would be nervous about making a mess with Nair, getting it inside the ear canal, or find that my puppy has ingested it. My vet told me I could just pull back my puppy's ears and pinch the extra hair and pull it out. My puppy barely made a fuss when he did this to demonstrate. I still feel like I might hurt her though. I will probably get a small hair trimmer that is designed to remove facial hair on humans.
