Skin Infection Support for Pets
Most skin infections on your furbaby may either be caused by a fungal (yeast) or bacterial infection or a combination of the two. There is a natural balance of bacteria, yeast and other microorganisms that live on your little one’s skin. Biting, licking and scratching can introduce potentially harmful pathogens from your pet’s mouth or paw that can develop into an infection on their skin, eyes, ears or body.
Treatment typically requires a vet-prescribed medication to treat the infection. NHV Fungal and Skin Infection Super Support can be used alongside antifungal or antibacterial medication to provide comprehensive support to help your furkiddo re-balance their immune system and fight those nasty infections.
Common Symptoms of Fungal Infections
The most common clinical signs of dermatitis in dogs and cats are:
- General itching
- Greasy skin
- Redness of the skin
- Musty odor and smelly discharge from the skin
- Scaly, crusty, or flaky skin
- Thickened skin (‘elephant skin’)
- Hyperpigmentation (darkly pigmented skin)
- Chronic or recurrent otitis externa or ear infections
The causes of yeast infections are related to absorption, inhalation, and ingestion of spores. Yeast infections are often caused by flea infestations, skin allergies, cancer, and immune system imbalances.
How NHV Remedies Support Dogs and Cats With Skin Infections (Fungal and Bacterial)
Preventing an imbalance of fungus (yeast) or bacteria from turning into an infection requires balancing your furkiddo’s immune system.

Are specific dog breeds at higher risk of contracting a skin infection?
Fungal (yeast) infections are capable of developing anywhere on your furkiddo’s body. However, pet parents often see them on feet and ears the most.
Where do most dog or cat fungal skin infections occur?
There are many breeds which may be prone to skin infections including cocker spaniels, French bulldogs, English bulldogs, West Highland white terriers and golden retrievers.
Can fungal infections cause bad breath?
Typically, no. Most bad breath is caused by poor oral hygiene. Fungal infections near the mouth can make it seem as though your little one has bad breath, however. If your pet’s breath has suddenly changed, consult your vet.
Do these cat and dog skin infection remedies offer proactive care as well?
Yes. These supplements offer proactive care by strengthening the skin barrier and strengthening your pet’s immune system.
Why does my dog’s feet smell like popcorn?
Most animals have various microorganisms on their skin, each with its own smell (think of BO in humans). The sweet corn chip/popcorn smell is most likely caused by yeast or bacteria that live on your pup's paws. Some pet parents even enjoy the scent! There is no cause for alarm unless there is a greasy residue, powerful odor or excessive biting/licking - if that's the case, get in touch with your vet to figure out what is going on.
