How easy or how difficult to use this otoscope on yourself?

I'm not sure if this question is worded correctly. I don't think you can use an otoscope on yourself. Never tried. I've used it on my husband, my 2 year old and my 10 month old. It works fine with my husband and 2 year old because they are able to sit still long enough for me to see the eardrum. My baby is too wiggly and I haven't been able to really see her eardrum. The doctor showed me how to use it, you have to pull the ear back to really see the eardrum. This is not nearly as bright as the one the doctor has, but it works for my purposes. I use it to see if the ear is slightly irritated/red so I know if I should be bringing my son to the doctor for an ear infection. It's very difficult to know if he has one through his actions/mood etc. Hope this helps.

does this come with replacement plastic ends that enter the ear or are they purchased seperately

Yes, this came with about three replacement plastic ends (disposable specula) and I also purchased a package of disposable speculas separately.

will it work to check a dogs ear?

Yes, we bought it especially for our two W. Highland Terriers. The LED light is especially good feature of this model.

Do the standard exam room ear specula fit onto this? or do I have to buy the Dr. Mom ones? I need an otoscope that fits the standard ones

Depends on what 'standard ones' are for you. Our standard ones DO NOT FIT this stethoscope, (these are the ones that have a twist-lock on them and fit standard Welch Allen scopes and their old-school wall-mounted scopes.). These Dr. mom ones are like smooth press-fit of a certain size. Good luck.
