Do Shelties need to have their ears clipped? Shelties need to have their ears clipped. The hearing of dogs with clipped ears is much higher than those without clipped ears. In addition, clipping can reduce ear mites in the ears and reduce ear canal diseases. Long-term droopy ears cause poor ventilation in the ear canal, which can easily breed ear mites. Ear clipping is a must for the racing schnauzer. Before clipping the schnauzer’s ears, the owner should pay special attention and needs to find a professional and suitable vet for the schnauzer in advance and choose an experienced veterinarian to prepare for the ear clipping surgery.
