Yeast and other infection-causing bacteria and fungi are naturally found on dogs’ skin and digestive tracts, but when left uncontrolled it can quickly spread and create serious health issues.
Nutrition plays a pivotal role in your dog’s healing from yeast infections and symptoms such as itching and ear issues. To get maximum effectiveness from any dog food for yeast infections, choose options with high quality ingredients that promote digestion while decreasing allergies.

This food is free from yeast and grain ingredients and designed to provide your pet with an easily digestible diet. In addition, it includes healthy vegetables and fruits as well as essential fatty acids to promote overall wellness in their pet’s life.
At the core of yeast infections is sugar; therefore it’s critical that we limit its energy sources as effectively as possible. This food does just that with low-glycemic carbohydrates like sweet potatoes and peas that metabolize slowly – cutting off that energy source also limits yeast’s ability to grow further.
This food uses turkey and salmon meal instead of simple carbs for protein sources, and contains prebiotics to support healthy microbiomes. However, it should be noted that this should only be used in conjunction with proper treatment by your veterinarian.
