How to combat a smelly/itchy/yeasty pooch.
Good morning! We've recently been having some issue with Remi regarding allergies + yeast, and we have discovered a few things that have worked really well for us and wanted to share.
When Remi turned 1, weird stuff started happening. He needed 2 benedryl every morning just to be comfortable.
After a trip to the vet to diagnose the first ear infection, and when he immediately got second one in the other ear, I knew I had to make some changes. I've done several easy things that has literally improved him by 80% in a matter of days:
Just doing these 5 things have given us amazing results. He no longer needs benedryl.

When Remi turned 1, weird stuff started happening. He needed 2 benedryl every morning just to be comfortable.
- His allergies flared up
- he started getting chronic ear infections
- his feet smelled like fritos with sores between his toes
- his face smelled like butt, and...
- he was scratching nonstop and always butt scooting.
After a trip to the vet to diagnose the first ear infection, and when he immediately got second one in the other ear, I knew I had to make some changes. I've done several easy things that has literally improved him by 80% in a matter of days:
- We began the switch from NVI's limited diet lamb to Fromm's Pork and Peas. He's currently on 50/50 split. The improvement in him is ridiculous already.
- We bathed Remi in Duoxo's PS Shampoo, leaving the lather on for 5 minutes. Itching instantly stopped.
- We used Duoxo pads to clean between Remi's toes
- We use vetericyn to clean his face and after we dry thoroughly, we add baby powder between Remi's wrinkles to keep him dry.
- We are using ear medicine to clean up his ear infection
Just doing these 5 things have given us amazing results. He no longer needs benedryl.
