Dogs CAN get ear mites, it is just way less common than cats. A cat that is heading shaking, your first thought is ear mites, for a dog it is much further down on the differential list. And I agree that mineral oil is safe, but it just immobilizes the mites. The mites can crawl out and live in the animals fur, so you really need to get something that actually kills mites, or you'll be battling it for months.
