                  TREATING YEAST INFECTIONS…..NATURALLY
What is yeast: Yeast happily live on most normal skin, in ears, anal glands, between toes and on muzzles.  Yeast in small normal numbers are harmless but when the yeasts are present in large numbers, disease results.
Hair loss, redness, hyperpigmentation (blackening of the skin), and thickening of the skin may also be present. Yeast infections are especially itchy, crusty, and smelly. Often a dog starts with a rash or with simple itching but the skin thickens to an “elephant” skin appearance. The itch is extreme and the odor can be especially troublesome. Parts of the body or the entire body can be affected.

Treatment of the Underlying cause:  It is important to realize that yeast overgrowth occurs in response to a primary problem be it allergy, seborrhea or something else. If the underlying problem is not controlled, yeast dermatitis is likely to periodically recur. Yeast infections are not contagious.

To help prevent yeast infections - use a healthy, low-grain/grain-free diet, probiotic supplements, and avoid simple sugars and allergenic foods. Providing additional beneficial bacteria to your dog’s diet will help to boost the immune system’s response to harmful bacteria. Avoid foods containing corn or wheat, by-products, chemical preservatives, or in some cases soy, depending on the cause of the dog’s allergy. It may also be advisable to change to a single-source protein diet and treats to eliminate any protein allergy. Environmental allergies may also be a factor.  

Canine And Feline Ear Infections: The majority of dog and cat ear infections (90 percent) are actually caused by allergens like ragweed and tree pollen, food allergies or chemicals within their environment. These allergens result in inflammation of the ear's skin and an increased temperature in the ear. Normal organisms in the ear, like yeast, then start to proliferate and cause itching of the ears and your pet will shake his head.

Natural treatments are available and are recommended to be used in conjunction with the above recommendations. 
We recommend:
