My dog has flies after bath. Ear infection or needs another bath?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 3 months old

I bathed Mike 10 days ago. Again the fruit flies have started to surround him. Does he need a bath so fast or is it for his ear infection's substance?

Mike doesn't need more than one bath per month, the flies might be due to an infection of the skin/ears but the hot weather in India can also be the direct cause of the flies. Seresto collar which is a protection collar against fleas and ticks also works well repelling flies, you might want to consider this option.
