Best Answer

The main reason is that, by leaving some medicated soap residue in the ears, it will prevent any possible parasites (fleas, ticks) from entering the ear to escape shampoo on the body of the dog. If this is not done, once a parasite might enter into the ear, there is nothing to prevent it from going deeper into the ear cavity where it, especially a tick, could do permanent damage to the dog.

A damp ear is a perfect breeding ground for fungus or bacteria, especially for dogs with ear flaps (ears that hang down). When bathing your dog, be sure to not let water into the ears--use cotton to block the ear canal. If your dog's a swimmer, use a towel and then some cotton balls to dry the ears.
