NO it's not a good idea and it's not particularly effective !!!
Best and safest way to keep ears clean is to mix 1/2 warm water and 1/2 apple cider vinger (not white vinegar-never white vinegar). We use a plastic 3ml syringe barrel without the needle. Just stick it in the ear
a little ways....you can actually go in fairly far depending on the type of dog...and gently squeez the fluid in...give the ears a good rub..and then you can clean the inside of the ear
with cheesecloth or tissue. Do this at least every two weeks and you won't even have to clean afterwards.
hope this helps

Hydrogen Peroxide is usually used to make dogs vomit when they have eaten something dangerous like antifreeze. The normal amount is 3cc per 20 pounds. If you are careful to keep the dog from ingesting the hydrogen peroxide, and keep the amount small, it shouldn't have any side effects.
You can; Peroxide is a cheap way to get your dog to puke if it's eaten something it shouldn't have (like chocolate) if you have a big dog, you can give it up to 500cc's of hydrogen peroxide (about 3 tablespoons) to try and help make them puke. If it's a smaller dog give it one tablespoon.
If that doesn't work, call your vet if it's imperative to have your dog puke up something it's eaten (medication, drugs, chocolate) and they'll hook them up to an IV with medication that will induce vomiting, give them some charcoal and your pet should be fine.
When in doubt, call your vet immediately, never try to 'wait out' a poisoning. The sooner you act the better chance your pet has at avoiding internal damage.
Maybe. If i were you i would ask your vet. Vets know everything about dogs. Your Welcome! =]

Why doesn't hydrogen peroxide fizz when i put it in my ear?
The chemical formula for hydrogen peroxide is H2O2. When it decomposes, it separates into water and oxygen gas. The reaction takes this form: 2 H2O2 -------> 2H2O + O2 The release of the oxygen gas is what makes the fizzy bubbles. When you put hydrogen peroxide solution on a wound or in your ears, it saturates the area with oxygen. Bacteria cannot live in this environment, and this is what makes peroxide a good disinfectant. It doesn't really help too much with earwax, though.
