Hi Ivey,
I had a Bull Mastiff many years ago who had horrible recurrent yeast on his paws and ears. I was told by a specialist that chicken and beef were two of the culprits. Dairy products like yogurt can also trigger the yeast. Look for low glycemic-carbohydrate food, as carbs can trigger or worsen a yeast infection. Also, tomato pomace can be an allergen for some dogs. It is high in histamine, which can cause scratching and can potentially trigger yeast overgrowth in sensitive dogs. Have you tried any of the Nulo brand dog food? They have some that are low glycemic. “High Animal-Based Protein · Low In Carbohydrates · Low Glycemic Ingredients · Advanced BC30 Probiotics.” Have you tried a fish dog food? Are you feeding grain inclusive or grain free?
