This
diet has several major components that work together to resolve
the yeast / fungus problem over time. Be patient, it took some time
for your dog to get in this condition, it will take some time to completely
resolve the problem - 3 - 6 months generally, some longer. You will
start to see some changes within the first month and the first two weeks
are the detoxification period and frequently they will get worse before
they get better due to the detoxifying response.
I am not a fan of steroids, but it it mean a little Pred will keep them
comfortable during this detox time, ask your vet about it. It should
only be used under a vet's care and directions and it is not suitable
for some dogs ie: diabetic
cases for example.
If you live Overseas, the Yeast Removal Kit
may not be available due to Customs Restrictions for your country. But, call First Choice Naturals or email them and see if they can ship to your country 1-877-343-0724 (Monday - Friday 10-3 EST or email: 1stchoicenaturals@comcast.net

- Check your pets thyroid checked through Dr. Jean Dodds. She is the only one that does a 5 Panel Thyroid test so it is accurate. Go to www.hemopet.com and print out the forms for a thyroid test, then take the forms to your vet. they will draw the blood, send it to her and she will send you a copy and the vet a copy of the report. Note: we can't correct
the problem with a thyroid issue.

- Using the Healthy Skin Kit #30
This
is a feed program to help return the dog to a normal condition
after having problems with a systemic yeast infection. Yeast/fungus
overgrowth can cause many health problems, the most obvious problems
are red, itchy, and inflamed skin, ears, lips and toes.
- Yeast Instructions will come with your kit when purchased.

Here is a list of acceptable pet foods for Yeast Removal Program
scroll down to bottom of the list of foods.
If you want to feed a balanced raw or incorporate raw into the diet I support the use of Darwinds - they ship right to your door frozen. http://www.darwinspet.com Diets.
DO NOT SOAK KIBBLE
AND LET SET, OR USE HOT WATER ON YOUR KIBBLE IT WILL DESTROY THE
INTEGRITY OF THE NUTRIENTS AND PROBIOTICS - YOGURT LIKE CULTURES
ON THE FOOD.
Yeast dye off and other toxins settle in the joints and there is stiffness
and what feels like arthritis. This supports the joints and helps
with mobility. This is a product for life. If you are needing a joint support Level 5000 liquid joint supplementation works well for my dogs.
Options:
For Variety - Meats - Fruits - Vegetable
I use Precise or Nutri Source canned dog foods for variety , it's a great option as well . I mix a couple of tablespoons
of canned meat with tepid temperature water and make a gravy.
Sometimes I make a homemade veggie soup.
Linda's Very Veggie Soup
for Variety
2 large
cans of chicken or beef broth - (low sodium for heart or elderly dogs-
or homemade). Add LOTS of veggies - green beans, wax beans, zucchini,
squash, tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, carrots, and couple cloves
of garlic. The idea is to use this as the variety or as a filler for dogs with weight problems. In that cause use the Precise Grain Free diets for weight, diabetic issues.
Variety - After
Yeast Removal Proces
Once your dog is back to normal (3 months) and the yeast levels are
in control and you want to introduce a raw component you can top dress
with one of the HONEST
KITCHEN - an organic dehydrated raw meat /fruit/veggie mixe. I
use about 10%-15% of this in combination with my kibble.
Please do not use this during the yeast treatment because we want
to temporarily limit the amount of potatoes/fruits and certain veggies.
The Honest
Kitchen dehydrated raw dog food is what I use to provide
a 10% raw component to my dogs Eagle kibble. It is balanced
in calcium and phosphorus ratios which are very important
in growing and elderly dogs!
I use the EMBARK , Thrive, Force - anyone of their products is great. Embark has the most meat content which is why I use it. What is nice is a 4 lb bag makes up to 17 lbs of wet food. You don't mix it up all at once just mix up what you need at a meal. Some of the Honest Kitchen comes in 10# boxes which makes up into 45 lbs of wet food!!
EMBARK 29%
protein - 16% fat - Organic Turkey, Flaxseed, Potatoes, Celery,
Spinach, Carrots, Coconut, Apples, Kelp, Eggs, Sesame Seeds, Bananas,
Cranberries, Rosemary.
To order call 800-937-1104 ~ and to order online go to www.firstchoicenaturals.com
Amounts I use of Honest Kitchen :
8-10- weeks - 1 Tablespoon each meal
11-16 weeks - 4-Tablespoons divided AM and PM meal
5 - 6 mo - 1/4 cup AM and PM
7 - 8 mo 1/4 - 1/3 cup l AM and PM meal
9 mo - Adults - 1/2 daily - 1 cup Divided AM and PM
Again, I rotate sometimes canned Precise, sometimes one of the Honest Kitchen dehydrated raw diets becaus both are balanced in calcium and phosphorus and do not disrupt the balance of the whole diet.
