An internal yeast infection is a very underdiagnosed cause of chronic itch in dogs and cats today. But even when verified by a simple stool check at the vets, it proves tricky to shift. Dr Brady’s Yeast Defeat is a multi-pronged approach to killing this pesky invader.
An internal yeast infection is a very underdiagnosed cause of chronic itch in dogs and cats today. But even when verified by a simple stool check at the vets, it proves tricky to shift. Dr Brady’s Yeast Defeat is a multi-pronged approach to killing this pesky invader. There is no other product like it on the market. It works as follows:
- Garlic digests the biofilm protecting the yeast at the gut membrane.
- Next, cellulase digests the protective outer layer encapsulating the now pathogenic fungi
- MCT oil now penetrates the membrane of the yeast, disrupting its function while green olive leaf sets about killing it off.
- Bentonite clay is used to adsorb the toxins emitted by the dying yeast which might otherwise sicken the recovering patient (known as a Her effect).
- Sacchromyces boulardii has the dual function of fighting pathogenic yeast species whilst restoring normal qut flora balance, offering longer-term protection from the disease.
Ingredients: MCT powder, green olive leaf, bentonite clay, cellulase, dried garlic, chicory root, Saccharomyces boulardii.
- This is ALL the natural supplements we believe a dog with a stubborn yeast issue requires but it means the apparent dosage is a little higher.
- It is paramount that you build to this dose slow as a yeast dying off can sicken them a little
- Mixing with their food is fine, but even better if it was added to some broth or even some tasty, whole-fat, natural yoghurt and given BEFORE a meal so that the enzyme works only on the yeast and not on the food, but this step isn't vital.
How do I know if he has an internal yeast issue?
You don't. It's difficult to test for internal yeast issues in a dog. Even if your vet took a faeces sample to see if there has been a proliferation, we now know it's not so much about abundance but a change in the species present, upsetting things.
Lacking a suitable test, if you have already ruled out food intolerances and / or that yeast issue on the surface keeps coming back, then you MIGHT have an internal yeast dysbiosis.
The advice is thus to pop in a product like Dr Brady's Yeast Defeat which will work to reduce pathogenic yeast numbers internally in your dog.
If your dog starts to improve 4-5 days after usage, great! Keep it up for a few weeks. If he doesn't, OK, at least now you can cross off an internal yeast blood off your list and move on to the next thing (FMT....as per my 5 step plan below...)
How long do I use Yeast Defeat for?
You by the symptoms. Chronic issues can take time to clear. If after 4-5 days he was improving I would keep up Yeast Defeat for at least 3 weeks. Some have used it longer. No harm, there is no nasty ingredients in there.
How do I build to dose slowly?
If he is to get 3 full scoops a day, I would start with half a scoop one meal, a full scoop next etc. I would spend 4-6 meals (2-3 days) getting him up to full dose, watching for any signs that he doesn't like it / it's not agreeing.
Can I use Yeast Defeat alongside probiotic products?
Probiotics are usually bacterial and targeted at bacterial dysbiosis. This is a yeast issue, different critter requiring a different approach.
Here's the thing, if he has a yeast issue it likely was permitted to bloom as a result of an upset in the bacterial biome. For instance, an antibiotic is a common form of thrush in humans - you wipe out the very critters that were keeping yeast under control.
So, probiotics are worth a shot when trying to rectify such issues and no doubt in some cases it might work - where you boost the good guys and they take back control.
However, if you have been giving these already, they're not working so I would certainly pause them.
Once yeast are there in sufficient numbers, they have all sorts of tactics to stay there, releasing compounds that stop the good guys growing.
In summary, while they wouldn't be my first option for dealing with the issue, by all means try. But if they don't work, stop and try another way.
Also, if you try two approaches at the same time you won't know what the issue was, should it pop up again, dooming you to kitchen-sinking it (throwing everything at it) every time the issue rears its head.
Should I use Dr Brady's Gut Regen12 after Yeast Defeat?
No need. Regen12 is a product for dogs suffering recurring gut issues, think IBS/IBD/colitis or reflux. If you have managed to put yeast back in the box it means the good bacteria are recovering, no need to mess around with that.
If the skin gets red and they seem more itchy is this die off?
It's impossible for us to say either way and we can't risk your pet suffering over something we have said but there is something to this - and why we introduce the product slowly.
There is nothing in this product that is inflammatory. If your dog's skin is getting red / inflamed then you might assume that the yeast is dying off. When this happens, it releases its toxins (and any heavy metals etc it was holding on to) which is known to increase inflammation (and potentially that skin issue you're seeing). It's called a Herx effect - where getting better can take a temporary toll.
We aim to avoid this effect by building to dose slowly and using bentonite clay which mops up a lot of the toxins release, lessening the effect.
If your dog is getting inflamed and you suspect it's the product then cut back massively on the product. If on 3 scoops cut back to 1 for a few days. Things should "cool off'". Then build to dose slowly later. It should only happen once, an initial flurry of die off.
As ever though, never go through such things alone. Consider discussing your concerns with a (natural) vet. List here.
Can my dog stay on Yeast Defeat long term?
No need. The route to good health is not living on supplements. Use them to help them recover and then let good food keep them there.
Customer Reviews
My dog had been suffering for a year with an yeast infection before I came across Dogs First & their article regarding internal yeast along with their miraculous solution Yeast Defeat. Post a consultation, I started the product & after 3 weeks, I began to see his itching & other symptoms improve slowly. I gave him the product initially for 2.5 months after which I saw a huge reduction in his symptoms. It is an amazing product that works fantastically well !!
After my dogs cut on his face got infected he was put on several courses of antibiotics and steroids as the infection just wasn’t getting any better. He was also put under and shaved . After 3 months of medication it had cleared. Then the trouble began. He always smelt a little bit of yeast, in the ears and wrinkles but that was easy enough to keep on top off. But after the meds his gut health was shot to pieces. I chance his diet as I suspected yeast. But them the yeast die off started. On his tail there was a bald patch and daily he would loose patches of fur with these crusty little bumps and sore patches on his skin. Almost all of the fur on his under neath had gone. He was sore. His ear were infected, he started limping occasionally and then the eyes with thick goop. That I keep being told was dry eye. What had to give antifungal baths a few times a week After months of research I found natural remedies of herbs to add to his food but didn’t know what quantities and I couldn’t get all of them. When I came across yeast defeat, I knew we had half a chance because it had the ingredients that I’d read about. It has taken months of yeast defeat but the relief was unreal when I could see it was working. We have just finished the second tub and within a month there are slight signs of a return. I am about to order a third tub. I just hope this is something that my dog can stay on permanently. I’m not sure if its meant for long term use but that’s what I’ll keep doing for now.
Dr Brady's Yeast Defeat - For internal yeast issues in dogs
This is a very good product with clear instructions for use and measuring scoop provided. The only surprise was that the blurb on product description suggests that improvements would be observable after about a week. I was a good three to four weeks in before I noticed less scratching of ears. They are still waxy though which is healthy and if used in conjunction with drops recommended. Overall good but slower to resolve yeast issues than advertised.
My boy has had a stubborn yeast problem, we use topical product but the yeast defeat worked quickly and bought relief for his itchy paws which he had been licking, great product, I highly recommend it.
