Best Dog Food for Yeast Infections
If your dog is constantly itching, licking their paws, or has recurring ear infections, yeast overgrowth could be the culprit. Diet plays a huge role in managing and preventing yeast infections. Ollie’s fresh, human-grade meals are made with limited ingredients, low-glycemic veggies, and no added sugars or fillers, helping to create a balanced internal environment that doesn’t feed harmful yeast—so your dog can feel better, naturally.
Understanding Yeast Infections in Dogs
Yeast infections are often the result of an imbalance in your dog’s gut or skin microbiome, where naturally occurring yeast begins to multiply out of control. These infections can lead to itching, inflammation, hair loss, and persistent odor—and they tend to come back unless the root causes are addressed. Diet is a key part of that solution.
Common Signs of Yeast Infections in Dogs:
Itchy skin, especially paws and ears
Musty or “cheesy” smell
Hair loss or greasy coat
Licking or chewing paws
Frequent ear infections
One of the biggest dietary triggers for yeast overgrowth is high-starch or sugary food—ingredients often found in dry kibble or processed treats. Feeding a fresh, low-glycemic, nutrient-rich diet can help starve excess yeast, rebalance the body, and support healthier skin.
Ollie meals are gently cooked and made with clean ingredients that don’t feed yeast, while still delivering the nutrients your dog needs to thrive.
How Ollie Helps Dogs with Yeast Infections
When managing yeast infections, it’s important to choose food that’s easy to digest, low in starch, and free from common triggers. Ollie delivers on all fronts with simple, nutritious meals made to support immune balance and skin health.
No Added Sugars or Simple Carbs – Our recipes skip ingredients like white potatoes, rice, and corn that can feed yeast
Limited Ingredient Recipes – Fewer ingredients means fewer chances of inflammation and imbalance
Fresh, Whole Foods – Nutrient-dense veggies and lean proteins help support the skin and immune system
Gently Cooked for Digestibility – Cooking at low temperatures keeps nutrients intact and meals easy on the gut
By reducing excess starch and increasing whole food nutrition, Ollie helps fight yeast from the inside out.
Every Ollie meal is customized to your dog’s needs, portioned by weight and health goals, and made from ingredients you can feel good about. Fresh dog food can help with yeast infections, skin issues, as well as overall general wellness.
Yeast Infections in Dogs by the Numbers
Many itchy dogs aren’t allergic—they’re dealing with a systemic yeast imbalance, often fueled by diet.
Ingredients like corn, rice, and wheat break down into sugars that feed yeast and fuel flare-ups.
A low-starch, balanced diet can reduce itching, inflammation, and infections without constant meds.
Many pet parents spend hundreds per year treating symptoms—when changing food could help address the root cause.

The hair on his ears grew back
Bane, German ShepherdBane is the typical GSD with lots of allergies. His got so bad that his ears were losing hair! On top of that, he was underweight because getting him to eat was a dancing act. He was so picky and I had to hand-feed him to get him to eat. Now he is drooling and prancing around waiting for his food and is so happy to eat it and his coat/ears are so thick and full.
The best food for my dog!
Bear, French BulldogBear is the sweetest French Bulldog who has some pretty serious food intolerances/allergies. He was suffering from hair loss, skin lesions, bad odor, lethargy, and discharge from his ears from other foods we tried to feed him. Thank goodness your turkey recipe was just perfect for him. He absolutely loves it and he is looking and feeling amazing now!
Her wounds from scratching finally healed
Suzie, LabradorBefore, Suzie would get open wounds from scratching and biting her paws. Nothing worked - cones, meds, creams, sprays. After four vet trips, they suggested maybe her cancer (removed a couple of years prior) had returned. After four days of eating Ollie, a wound she had about three months started to heal and has had NO recurrences since!
I'm so grateful to Ollie for figuring it out for me!
Happy Boy and Summer, Swedish CalhounsMy dogs had bad skin allergies and I even went to UC Davis to get them tested. They said it was an atypical allergy and couldn't figure out why. They used to vomit and get bad allergies from The Farmer's Dog and it all stopped with Ollie. Now they get so excited when I put their food down, I have to push them away so they don't eat too fast!
