Bad
Diet - If your dog or puppy
is being fed a grain based dog food this will increase the
level of sugar in your dogs body which is perfect for the growth of
Candida. Try speaking to your vet about feeding your dog a
grain
free dog food or speaking to
your vet about feeding your dog supplements such as probiotics.
Specific
Medications - Just like
humans an over use of antibiotics will end up killing healthy bacteria
- and it's the same with your dog or puppy. This overuse of certain
medications can increase the risk of your pooch getting a yeast
infection as they decrease your dog's immune system.
Thyroid
problems in dogs can also cause
this condition.
