Please note : grapes in VERY small amounts are not a problem -- Do not feed them very often -- talk to your Vet if you have concerns .
Avacado is added , in small amounts to some commercial dog foods.. IN small amounts it is often safe. The problem is the full fruit being fed to your canine can cause severe loose stool and vomiting .. So , be Careful about feeding Avacado to your pets..

Cleaning your Dog's or Cat's ears Natural Treatments ; Ear infections and Natural antibiotics
How to clean dog's or cat's ears
Cleaning with apple cider vinegar to maintain a healthy balance
To prevent infection ; Cleaning dog and cat ears every 1-3 weeks can prevent infections. This can be as simple as a 1:1 blend of organic apple cider vinegar with sterile water. ( use a clean syringe and squirt or drop some of this solution in pet's ears ) It will drip out and then wipe clean with cotton ball or cotton pad.
The Cleaning above can be done daily when there is discharge and infection noted.
otherwise 1 -2 x every 3 weeks
Just a note of caution: Treatment of ear infections in dogs and cats should always begin with an examination and diagnosis by your Veterinarian.
