And if left untreated, it can cause serious discomfort.
What most dog owners don’t realize is that yeast issues often start in the gut.
When harmful bacteria take over and beneficial gut bacteria are too low, your dog’s immune system weakens. And since the immune system is your dog’s first line of defense against allergens and irritants, any imbalance can create a ripple effect.
A strong immune system helps keep yeast levels in check. But when the gut is out of balance, yeast can spike suddenly — leading to flare-ups. That’s when symptoms show up: itchy ears, smelly paws, irritated skin, constant licking, and scratching.
These aren’t just "quirks" — they’re signs that something is off inside your dog’s body.
Thankfully, there’s a simple way to help:
Introducing Petwell Probiotic Chews — delicious soft chews packed with billions of good bacteria designed to restore gut balance and fight yeast from within. Made specifically for South African dogs, Petwell tackles the root cause — so your dog can feel calm, comfortable, and healthy again.
