Ear mites in dogs are highly contagious, so it's impossible to completely prevent them. However, regular ear cleaning can help prevent mites from establishing themselves in your dog's ears. Topical anti-parasite treatment, such as topical flea and tick treatments, have also been shown to deter ear mites. If you know or suspect another animal has mites, keep your dog away from it.
