NO it's not a good idea and it's not particularly effective !!!
Best and safest way to keep ears clean is to mix 1/2 warm water and 1/2 apple cider vinger (not white vinegar-never white vinegar). We use a plastic 3ml syringe barrel without the needle. Just stick it in the ear
a little ways....you can actually go in fairly far depending on the type of dog...and gently squeez the fluid in...give the ears a good rub..and then you can clean the inside of the ear
with cheesecloth or tissue. Do this at least every two weeks and you won't even have to clean afterwards.
hope this helps

∙ 15y agoHydrogen Peroxide is usually used to make dogs vomit when they have eaten something dangerous like antifreeze. The normal amount is 3cc per 20 pounds. If you are careful to keep the dog from ingesting the hydrogen peroxide, and keep the amount small, it shouldn't have any side effects.

∙ 11y agoYou can; Peroxide is a cheap way to get your dog to puke if it's eaten something it shouldn't have (like chocolate) if you have a big dog, you can give it up to 500cc's of hydrogen peroxide (about 3 tablespoons) to try and help make them puke. If it's a smaller dog give it one tablespoon.
If that doesn't work, call your vet if it's imperative to have your dog puke up something it's eaten (medication, drugs, chocolate) and they'll hook them up to an IV with medication that will induce vomiting, give them some charcoal and your pet should be fine.
When in doubt, call your vet immediately, never try to 'wait out' a poisoning. The sooner you act the better chance your pet has at avoiding internal damage.

Can you pour alcohol in my dogs ears?
It's not usually a good idea to pour alcohol directly into your dog's ears. If his ears are irritated it can be very painful. To clean or dry your dogs ears, put some alcohol on a cotton ball and wipe the inner ears. If your dog has open sores in his ears, use hydrogen peroxide instead, or get medication from a veterinarian.

While it's true dogs with floppy ears can have more problems with infections in their ears cropping has nothing to do with it. Please see your vet and they will give you medication (drop form) to put in the dogs ears. Dogs ears should be cleaned every couple of weeks. You can go to a pet store or ask your vet for a Herbal flush (liquid) and put a few drops in to clean out all wax (has a fresh smell) and then add any medication after this. Only your vet can diagnose this and just like humans if the ear infections is not looked after the dog could go deaf.
