Dog Ear Cleaning & Ear Hair Removal in Fuquay-Varina, NC | KurlyTails
Walk-in & same-day dog grooming appointments available in Fuquay-Varina, NC
Doodles and poodles are notorious for growing hair deep inside the ear canal, which traps moisture, reduces airflow, and creates the perfect environment for yeast and bacterial infections. At KurlyTails in Fuquay-Varina, ear cleaning and ear hair maintenance are core parts of our grooming process rather than afterthoughts. Our groomers use vet-recommended ear cleaning solutions and gentle ear powder techniques to safely remove excess hair and clear debris, helping your dog stay comfortable and your vet bills stay manageable.

- Gentle ear hair removal using appropriate powder and technique
- Vet-recommended ear cleaning solution applied after each service
- Helps prevent moisture-related yeast and bacterial ear infections
- Critical maintenance for all poodle-mix and drop-eared breeds
- Groomers trained to recognize signs of existing infection for referral
- Available as a standalone service or included in full-groom packages
How we work
We groom one dog at a time. That means your dog isn’t waiting in a crate for hours or being rushed through a line — they’re bathed, dried, and finished in one calm, continuous visit. We start by checking the coat and skin, talk through the look you want, and text you before doing anything that would change the quote. Most dogs are ready the same day.
Breeds and coats we specialize in
Curly and double coats are our focus: goldendoodles, bernedoodles, labradoodles, sheepadoodles, and standard, miniature, and toy poodles — plus shepherds, terriers, and double-coated breeds that need real de-shedding. If your dog’s coat mats easily, you’re exactly who we’re set up for.
We’re right here in Fuquay-Varina at 1655 Atkins Rd, open every day 8 AM–6 PM. Honest, published pricing — no surprises at pickup. See full pricing or browse our gallery.
