Any Q


Can yeast affect dogs?

Itchy, irritated skin with a distinct odor can be an indication of a yeast infection, a common skin concern for dogs. A dog will typically develop a yeast infection on the skin or in the ears. Regardless of location, a yeast infection can cause extreme discomfort and can be an indication of a more serious issue.

How do you treat dogs with yeast?

There are two kinds of treatments for a dog yeast infection: antifungal pills and topical products like shampoos and ointments. If the yeast infection is mild or limited to one or two small areas, topical treatment may be enough. But if the infection is severe or widespread, your dog may need oral medication.

Can yeast spread from dog to dog?

Yeast dermatitis is not contagious; your dog did not get this infection from another dog. Opportunistic yeast infections often recur unless the underlying allergy or skin condition is controlled. There are certain breeds thought to be genetically predisposed to developing yeast infections.
