What the label does not say

Hatchwells haven't published what the powder is made from or how much to use per ear, so this listing can only tell you what it's for, not its ingredients or a dose. It is a grip aid, not a treatment — if the ear itself looks sore, red or smells before you start, that's a reason to stop and see a vet rather than carry on plucking.

Why we chose it

Ear plucking is a job people already do at home rather than pay a groomer for every time, and a grip powder is the one thing that makes it quicker without needing any new tools. It's a small, cheap tub, which suits a job you only do every few weeks.

— Matt, founder

Size guide & how to measure

Pet coats and jumpers are sized mainly by back length, with chest girth as a second check. Back length matters most for coverage.

How to measure

Back length: measure along the spine from the base of the neck (collar area) to the base of the tail.
Chest: measure around the widest part of the ribcage, behind the front legs.
If the two measurements suggest different sizes, choose by back length and allow for the chest.

Size	Typical back length	Typical chest
XS	20–25 cm	30–40 cm
S	25–32 cm	38–50 cm
M	32–40 cm	48–62 cm
L	40–50 cm	60–76 cm
XL	50–60 cm	74–92 cm

Ranges are approximate and vary by style. Always check this product’s Specifications for its exact measurements.

Full description

Plucking hair from inside a dog's ear canal is a job groomers still do by hand, because clippers cannot safely reach where the hair actually grows on breeds that don't shed it naturally. The problem is mechanical rather than medical: wet, oily ear hair slips between the fingers, and a slipping grip means more pulls to finish the job.

Hatchwells' answer is a powder rather than a tool. Dusted onto the hair before plucking, it takes up the moisture and oil on the strands so fingers or forceps can get a proper hold, which in turn means fewer, cleaner pulls rather than repeated tugging at the same patch.

90g tub
Grooming powder, formulated specifically for grip when plucking

Who it's for: owners and groomers who pluck ear hair by hand on breeds that grow it inside the ear canal, and want better purchase on the hair than fingers alone give.

Common questions

What does this powder actually do?

It's dusted onto ear hair before plucking to take up moisture and oil, so fingers or forceps get a better grip on the hair and it comes away more easily.

Is it a medicine or treatment for the ear?

No. It's a grooming aid used before plucking, not a treatment. If the ear looks sore, red or has a smell, see a vet rather than plucking.

Is it only for dogs?

It's listed under the shop's combined dog and cat grooming category, though the specific composition and any species restriction aren't stated by the maker.

How big is the tub?

It's a 90g tub.
