Ear posting is a months-long commitment. Doberman, Great Dane, Boxer, and Giant Schnauzer breeders wrap ears to backer rod supports for weeks at a time. The choice of tape matters more than most realize.
Elastic wraps like Vetwrap and Co-Flex stretch and conform. That same stretch becomes a tourniquet risk. Wrapped even slightly too tight, elastic tape restricts blood flow. By the time posts are changed days later, the damage is done.
Breeders need tape that holds securely without the stretch that causes circulation problems — and removes without pulling fur from sensitive ear tissue.
Guard-Tex doesn't stretch. Zero stretch means zero tourniquet risk. The wrap holds securely through tension, not compression.
Zero adhesive means gentle removal. Guard-Tex only sticks to itself — never to fur or the delicate skin on the back of the ear.
Open-mesh cotton construction lets air circulate and lets you see the ear through the wrap. Monitor for problems without removing posts.
Vetwrap and Co-Flex stretch — creating tourniquet risk if wrapped too tight. Adhesive tapes pull fur and damage sensitive ear skin. Guard-Tex provides secure hold with zero stretch and zero adhesive. The non-elastic design eliminates the most dangerous variable in ear posting.
Insert backer rod into the ear canal per your veterinarian's instructions. Position the ear in proper upright stance with the post secure at the base.
Wrap Guard-Tex strips around the ear and post together. Overlap by 50%. The tape sticks to itself — no need to pull tight. Firm, not compressed.
Change posts every 3-7 days. Guard-Tex unwraps cleanly with no fur pulling. Clean ears, inspect for issues, and repost.
Guard-Tex is non-elastic. Elastic wraps like Vetwrap can act as a tourniquet if wrapped even slightly too tight, cutting off circulation to the ear. Guard-Tex provides secure hold without the stretch that causes circulation problems.
No. Guard-Tex has zero adhesive — it only sticks to itself. When you remove the wrap, it won't pull hair or damage the delicate skin on the back of the ear.
Most breeders change posts every 3-7 days to check ear health and clean the ears. Guard-Tex's breathable cotton allows air circulation during this period, and the mesh weave lets you see the ear through the wrap.
Doberman Pinschers are the most common, but Guard-Tex is also used for Great Danes, Boxers, Giant Schnauzers, Miniature Pinschers, and other breeds that require ear posting after cropping.
