This condition, yeast infection in dogs, is typically not something to worry about.<\/p>\n<p>However, you should seek veterinary care to clear this condition as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petmd.com\/author\/dr-leigh-burkett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leigh Burkett, DVM<\/a>,<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_pull_quote td_pull_center\"><p>Yeast infections can occur anywhere on a dog's skin, including the belly. The affected skin may be red, irritated, itchy, greasy, or flaky, and there may be hair loss.<\/p>\n<p>If the infection is chronic, the skin may thicken and become darker in color. Yeast infection on a dog's mouth or face can cause extreme itching or face rubbing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There are a few dog yeast infection home remedy options that have been shown to be effective.<\/p>\n<p>Skin infections in dogs caused by yeast are known as <em><strong>yeast dermatitis<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>One particular type of yeast, Malassezia, lives on your dog's skin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5603939\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"57373\">constantly<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It does not typically cause problems, but yeast dermatitis in dogs can occur when there is an overpopulation of this fungus.<\/p>\n<p>If your dog is scratching his ears incessantly and has cracked lips or red, inflamed skin, it could be a sign that he has a yeast infection.<\/p>\n<p>Chewing of the paws is another sign of a yeast infection in dogs. The yeast can build up between a dog's toes and irritate.<\/p>\n<p>If the red, itchy skin is accompanied by a foul smell, it's very likely that your dog has a yeast infection.<\/p>\n<p>Dog yeast infection home remedy treatments may eliminate a yeast infection in dogs, but your vet can also prescribe a topical cream to help treat the condition quickly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-84148 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3-Best-Dog-Yeast-Infection-Home-Remedies-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Dog Yeast Infection Home Remedies\" width=\"474\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3-Best-Dog-Yeast-Infection-Home-Remedies-scaled.jpg 474w, https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3-Best-Dog-Yeast-Infection-Home-Remedies-768x4147.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3-Best-Dog-Yeast-Infection-Home-Remedies-379x2048.jpg 379w, https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3-Best-Dog-Yeast-Infection-Home-Remedies-78x420.jpg 78w, https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3-Best-Dog-Yeast-Infection-Home-Remedies-640x3456.jpg 640w, https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3-Best-Dog-Yeast-Infection-Home-Remedies-681x3677.jpg 681w, https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3-Best-Dog-Yeast-Infection-Home-Remedies-600x3240.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>3 Dog Yeast Infection Home Remedy Treatments<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/dog-in-bathtub.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"57374\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-65730 size-full\" title=\"3 Dog Yeast Infection Home Remedy Treatments\" src=\"https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/dog-in-bathtub.jpg\" alt=\"3 Dog Yeast Infection Home Remedy Treatments with dog in tub\" width=\"1021\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/dog-in-bathtub.jpg 1021w, https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/dog-in-bathtub-600x353.jpg 600w, https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/dog-in-bathtub-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/dog-in-bathtub-768x451.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/dog-in-bathtub-160x94.jpg 160w, https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/dog-in-bathtub-715x420.jpg 715w, https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/dog-in-bathtub-640x376.jpg 640w, https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/dog-in-bathtub-681x400.jpg 681w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1021px) 100vw, 1021px\" \/><\/a><strong>1. Bathing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Giving your dog a good bath with a high-quality shampoo is the best thing that you can do to help with a yeast infection.<\/p>\n<p>You should definitely wear rubber gloves when bathing your dog to ensure the yeast does not get on your skin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Avoid oatmeal shampoos when dealing with yeast infections.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oatmeal will actually feed the yeast. While <a href=\"https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/best-medicated-dog-shampoo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"57375\">medicated shampoos<\/a> are very effective, many contain oatmeal.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, use an anti-fungal shampoo or an herbal shampoo with ingredients that feature natural anti-fungal properties (like <a href=\"https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/tea-tree-oil-for-dogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"57376\">tea tree oil<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to work the shampoo into the affected area, and allow it to sit for at least 10 minutes before rinsing.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Coconut Oil<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Coconut oil greatly improves the condition of your dog\u2019s skin and coat.<\/p>\n<p>Possibly the best health benefit of coconut oil is that it contains proven anti-fungal and antibacterial properties.<\/p>\n<p>It offers a lot of great benefits for your dog's <a href=\"https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/how-to-use-coconut-oil-for-dog-skin-problems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"57377\">overall health<\/a>, as well as helping to treat yeast infections and other skin problems.<\/p>\n<p>You can use coconut topically or give your pet coconut oil orally.<\/p>\n<p>Most brands of cold-pressed and refined coconut oil will work (e.g., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Viva-Naturals-Organic-Virgin-Coconut\/dp\/B00DS842HS\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=tdt01-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"57378\"><em>Viva Naturals<\/em><\/a>) for yeast dermatitis in dogs.<\/p>\n<p>Simply give your pet anywhere from 1 tsp to 1 tbsp &#8211; depending on the dog's size &#8211; every other day.<\/p>\n<p>My dogs will eat coconut oil like a treat, but you could also melt it and pour it over your pup's food.<\/p>\n<p>Continue feeding them coconut oil until the infection is gone.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Apple Cider Vinegar<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Organic apple cider vinegar (ACV) like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Bragg-Organic-Vinegar-Cleanser-Promotes\/dp\/B07QD9BBL8\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=tdt01-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"57379\"><em>Bragg<\/em><\/a> is another versatile home remedy that you should always keep on hand.<\/p>\n<p>It's a great treatment for many skin problems, including dry skin, hot spots, and yeast infections in dogs.<\/p>\n<p>You can apply ACV to the infected area topically. Wait at least 5 minutes before rinsing it off.<\/p>\n<p>You can also give it to your pup orally.<\/p>\n<p>Add 1-2 tablespoons (depending on the size of your dog) to his meals once daily.<\/p>\n<p>Continue adding it to his meals until the yeast infection has cleared up.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>OTC Treatments for Dog Yeast Infection<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Yeast infection home remedies for dogs are natural, safe, and effective for mild cases; however, I find that they won't always work, especially when this skin condition has gotten out of hand.<\/p>\n<p>If you tried ineffective home remedies, you may need to look for over-the-counter dog yeast infection treatments. The good ones I like are below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n    <table class=\"aawp-table\">\n        <thead>\n            <tr>\n
