Here's a recipe you can use to help manage your dog's yeast overgrowth.
Ingredients
1 pound lean ground turkey
1/2 pound chicken hearts, chopped
1 oz beef liver (1/3 deck of cards), chopped
2 eggs without shells
1/2 cup chopped kale
1/2 cup chopped broccoli
2 Tbsp bone meal
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp ground pumpkin seeds
2 tsp turmeric
2 tsp (2 cloves) garlic
2 tsp ginger
2 tsp MCT oil
1 tsp chlorella
1/2 tsp kelp
Add before serving
Omega-3 oil (such as fish oil) 1/2 tsp Himalayan pink salt
Mix up the meat and organs.
Add in the vegetables and eggs.
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
This makes about 2 lbs of food.
Feed a 50 lb dog about 16 oz (1 lb) and adjust according to your dog’s weight.
There are other foods and vegetables that you can include to increase the level of antioxidants for your dog, like leafy greens or asparagus.
If you give fruit, use berries, blackberries and raspberries that are lower in sugar and offer exceptional health benefits.

A diet change will not cure an existing yeast infection, but it may prevent an allergic dog from developing more yeast infections in the future. The only situation where diet may play a role is for dogs who have a specific food allergy. A veterinarian can diagnose food allergies and recommend a safe, balanced diet to ensure all of your pup’s nutritional needs are still being met. Changing the diet for your dog will not help prevent or cure a yeast infection unless your veterinarian determines your dog has an allergy to a specific ingredient.

Dogs with yeast infections require a diet that will not exacerbate the condition, and often this means avoiding carbohydrates and starchy foods. Foods that are high in sugar, such as sweet potatoes and carrots, can also contribute to yeast overgrowth. A diet rich in protein and low in carbohydrates is often recommended for dogs with yeast infections.
Chicken and fish are good protein sources for dogs with yeast infections. Pumpkin is a good source of fiber for dogs and can help to firm up stools and reduce yeast overgrowth. Coconut oil has antifungal properties that can help to combat yeast infections in dogs.
Apple cider vinegar can also be used to help combat yeast infections in dogs, and can be added to their food or applied topically to the affected area.
