Is Wolfworthy Dog Food Yeast-Free? Here’s What You Need to Know

Wolfworthy Original All Life Stage Food does not contain yeast.

How Does Wolfworthy Help Dogs with Yeast Infections?

Yeast infections in dogs are often linked to diets high in sugars and starches, such as those containing rice, potatoes, wheat, and corn. These ingredients create the perfect environment for the naturally occurring yeast in a dog’s body to overgrow.

At Wolfworthy, our food is specifically designed to avoid this issue:

🥩 High in Meat, Low in Carbs: Supports overall health without feeding yeast growth.
🚫 No Added Yeast: Reduces potential triggers for yeast overgrowth.
🌿 Free from High-Starch Ingredients: We exclude rice, maize, white potatoes, and wheat—common culprits linked to yeast issues.

⚡ Did you know? There’s a common misconception that yeast in dog food contributes to yeast infections. However, this isn’t the case—dietary yeast doesn’t lead to yeast infections in dogs. The real trigger is often the high sugar/starch content in some dog foods.

What Causes Yeast Infections in Dogs?

While research is ongoing, several well-known factors contribute to yeast infections:

🥗 Dietary Issues:

High-starch foods such as rice, potatoes, wheat, corn, honey, and corn syrup can promote yeast growth.
Diets with high sugar content provide fuel for yeast, leading to potential overgrowth.

⚖️ Hormonal Imbalances:

Conditions like Hypothyroidism, Cushing’s Disease, Diabetes Mellitus, and imbalances in Estrogen or Testosterone can make dogs more susceptible to yeast infections.

🐶 Breed Predisposition:

Certain breeds are more prone to yeast infections, including:

West Highland White Terriers
Basset Hounds
Cocker Spaniels
Silky Terriers
Australian Terriers
Maltese Terriers
Chihuahuas
Poodles
Shetland Sheepdogs
Lhasa Apsos
Dachshunds

Other Underlying Conditions:

Allergic skin diseases can increase oil production in the skin, creating an environment where yeast can thrive.
