Hi I'm Dan Scott, canine nutrition and home remedy specialist and in today's
video I'll talk about the five signs of a yeast infection and seven ways you can
stop an itchy dog yeast infection, plus what you can do to solve the underlying cause of your dog's distress.
If your dog suffers itchy skin, hot spots, chews or licks at their feet often
and gets ear infections, your dog could be suffering a yeast infection.
Yeast covers the skin of humans and dogs as part of the normal flora and it's also
inside your dog's body, mostly in the gut and normally in a healthy state of
balance. However things can get out of balance
quickly when your dog see immune system is under stress and the yeast becomes
overgrown and out of control spreading throughout the body and over the skin as
fungus. Welcome to the ugly world of yeast
infections. Here's five signs of a yeast infection.
Smelly greasy skin and hair with possible dandruff. Ear infections with
scratching or head shaking. Feet chewing and licking with rusty brown hair
between toes that indicates yeast infection. Patches of darkened or black
skin with possible hair loss over them. Small black patchy dots over the
underbelly region and possible rusty Brown or graying around the genital area.
Check for these signs and treat as soon as possible.
Yeast begins in your dog's gut that gets out of control because of one main
reason, DIET! The simple reason is that a kibble diet provides too much starch
which means too much sugar and this fuels the yeast, it's that simple. kibble
contains starches that are quickly converted to sugars and yeast lives off
sugars. Check the ingredients panel on your dogs bag of kibble and if the list
begins with any grain, corn, potato, tapioca, or white rice you can be sure
that this is where the yeast problem starts. Dogs don't need all that much
starch in their diets so what can you do to solve the problem? Here's five ways to
support your dog's gut. Give you dog probiotics to help balance the
gastrointestinal system and boost gut health. You'll want to probiotic with as
many species of good bacteria as possible, with at least two billion CF
use per scoop and not made in China as the standard is not verifiable and often
contains animal digest and sugars. Powders are best and simply added to food. There
are many brands available and by far the best one I've researched over the years
is pet ultimates probiotics for dogs and I'll leave a link in the description
below. Also for another video on the three best probiotics
strong dog health click the link in the description below. Try to limit the use
of antibiotics as they indiscriminately kill all bacteria, not just the bad ones and
can leave you don't worse off than before as yeast spreads. Avoid giving
your dog toxic drugs like flea and tick medications worm medications or exposing
them to household cleaners and garden insecticides and weed killers. All have
the ability to stress your dog's system, cause disease and kill healthy gut flora.
See links to videos of natural chances for free and taken worm treatments in
the description below. Oregano is a perennial plant best known
for Italian cooking but with amazing healing power for treating allergies,
candida, mange and yeast infections. Mix the pure oregano oil with virgin olive
oil at one part Oregano oil to four parts Olive oil to make a 20% solution.
Oregano oil has excellent antifungal properties for yeast infections, cancers
allergies, parasites, digestive problems, kennel cough, or to boost the immune
system. Rub some Oregano oil mixed with virgin
olive oil on the pads of your dog's feet and between the toes daily. It will soak
in and do the job of an antibiotic for internal infections but without killing
off your dog's gut flora like that prescribed antibiotics do. For skin
legions skin cancers so Coptic and Demodectic mange, bee stings and bug
bites or ear infections and muscle pain, arthritis, contact dermatitis and any
type of external yeast infection, rub that 20% solution on those areas that
are effected on your dog daily, And number 5, is to feed your dog a healthier kibble
diet. As we know kibble fuels yeast but what if and without changing your
current kibble diet, you could still bring your dog's gut floor levels back
into balance and stop the yeast overgrowth. Many times dog parents
dealing with itchy dog yeast infections, switch dog food brands in the hope
that things will change but 9 out of 10 times this does nothing more than add
chemicals back into the dog's system, along with excess starches and starts
the whole cycle all over again. The good news is to overcome this problem you
don't need to change brands of kibble but by adding certain extras to your
dog's kibble meals you'll quickly solve many dog health problems, along with much
of the yeast issues your dog faces. That's why I created the Healthy Kibble
Diet to help people feeding dog owners reclaim their dog's health from the
persistent health problems like itchy yeast infections that plague so many
dogs. I found very little help out there for dog owners feeding a kibble only
diet, so I created a diet that in essence helps you to know the right combination
and supplements to add as a topper to your dog's kibble meals to boost the
nutritional content of the food. This changes things dramatically for your dog
simply by adding some essential extras your dog instinctively knows is good
to eat. Once added yeast infections and itching begin to heal while other
day-to-day chronic conditions such as skin and coat problems, arthritis and
poor digestion begin to resolve. The sensitivity in your dog's system goes
way down as histamines stopped being produced that cause your dog to itch
and they feel so much better as you'll quickly notice. This is a great
diet for the kibble feeder that actually saves money as veterinary costs are cut
in half over time as proven from over six years of testing. You'll find a link
below in the description to a video explaining more about the Healthier Kibble
Diet. And if you found this video useful please remember to like it, share it with
