All About Yeast Infections

November 07, 2019By Ashleigh Smith

Yeast infection in dogs can be a very uncomfortable condition, not just for your beloved furball, but also a big worry for their owner wondering what the cause might be, and how to treat it. Smelly and itchy skin on your dog is not the most attractive thing to contend with, for both you and your pet.

So what do you do and how do you treat a yeast infection in dogs? The first step would obviously be to visit the vet, get them to examine your dog and make a prognosis to relieve it, but what if that doesn't cure the problem?

Below is a story from one of our customers describing how she made the long journey to cure Mini, her 7year old Miniature Dachshund from a yeast infection and itchy skin:

Mini the 7 Year Old Miniature Dachshund

Mini developed some kind of yeast infection under her armpits and little legs, it was itchy, smelly and irritated her. We took her to the vets and got given some medicated shampoo & tablets for her to take. It didn’t really help her at all apart from stopping her chewing her skin.

Mini had been on these tablets for over a year, whilst having her weekly bath I noticed Mini had a big lump on her breast area. I rushed her to the vets who said the best thing for her would be to remove the mammary strip just in case it was something more sinister.

Mini’s operation went well and thank God it wasn’t anything too serious, however, it turned out Mini had 13 tumors removed.

Obviously Mini wasn’t able to have a bath while she was recovering and she was very stinky. I did lots of research on what to do, it turns out that it was a side effect from her tablets.

I immediately stopped her tablets and researched on forums about alternative treatments for yeast infection in dogs and itchy skin that accompanied the condition and it seemed people had amazing results by changing their dogs' diet to raw & I was recommended to try out Benyfit Natural raw dog food.

I called Benyfit and spoke to the team and they were BRILLIANT & recommended what would be best for Mini.

Within 24 hours Minis new food was delivered. Within 4 days Mini’s skin had not just improved it was completely back to normal, no yeast, no smell, no itching, no bad breath & her fur had started to grow back.

I could not Thank Benyfit enough. Just purely by changing Mini’s food to their recipe, Mini is now totally perfect. Nothing else will pass her lips apart from Benyfit Meat Feast and Benyfit Bites.
