Kasey is really sensitive to just a few yeast. The derma vet has had him on an anti-yeast Rx just on Saturday and Sunday for years. It does a reasonable job at controlling the yeast, but every once in a while he has an episode and has to take the drug for 3 straight weeks to get it back under control again. This drug, Fluconazole, has just gone up 300% or more in cost. We were buying it Costco or an online pet pharmacy here in CA and it was about .30 a pill, now it's $3 a pill!!
So I'm looking for additional ways to keep the yeast at bay so we won't have to do anymore 3 week doses. I've read a lot about putting raw apple cider vinegar in their water. Have any of you tried this and found it to work?? If so, how much did you put in the water dish?

I've never tried ACV in the water, so can't help with that. Do you already use Ketochlor shampoo (or similar)? Ketokonazole is the active ingredient against yeast.
My corgi also has a tendency to get yeasty spots (mostly skin fold areas), but a weekly bath with this medicated shampoo has pretty much cleared it up. And the stuff seems gentle enough that even with weekly bathing her hair and skin are not at all dry.
I use grapefruit seed extract by adding it to the drinking water. It has been proven to inhibit yeast. You can find the concentrate on Amazon and in health food stores. One bottle will last you a very long time!

Not that I'm a loyal fan of this doctor, but from what I've read in the past, this pretty much sums up why I chose not to use grapefruit seed extract

I have read numerous articles regarding the beneficial properties of GSE against yeast and bacteria. The sources include the Whole Dog Journal, California Polytechnic State University (which also found yogurt had no effect on yeast population) and of course the usual suspects of homeopathic websites.
Even without these supporting facts, GSE has other benefits for your dog and you too!

Fresh garlic (idk how much is safe for dogs) and virgin coconut oil are supposed to help too. You can even apply coconut oil directly to yeasty spots to kill it.
