Why does my dog keep getting yeast infections?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Allergens such as pollens, mold, dust, cigarette smoke, cleaning products, and even certain foods, especially if they're high in sugar and carbs, can also lead to yeast infections. For some dogs, yeast problems are seasonal, and when the temperature and humidity are high, problems with yeast can occur.


Why does my dogs yeast infection keep coming back?

Some dogs have an immune deficiency making them ineffective at fighting yeast infections resulting in chronic infection. Dogs that receive immunosuppressive drugs such as corticosteroids (steroids) may also be unable to effectively prevent yeast infections, so may develop a chronic yeast infection.

What causes excessive dog yeast?

We know that yeast thrives in hot, humid environments, and infections can happen if your pet's immune system is compromised or if they are taking strong immunosuppressive drugs. An increase in the amount of oils produced on the skin, or excess skin oils, can cause the condition.

What do you feed a dog with a yeast infection?

If you're home cooking your dog's dinner, good choices include dark leafy greens, chicken, beef, lamb, squash, garlic, and broccoli. Using ingredients that are a good source of enzymes and probiotics – good bacteria – can help too.
