How to use yeast spray for dogs properly? Follow these simple steps for quick relief.
Okay, so I'm gonna walk you through how I made this yeast spray for my dog. Honestly, I was a little skeptical at first, but I figured, hey, what's the harm in trying? My poor pup was itching like crazy, and I was desperate.

First, I did a bunch of research online. I mean, a lot of research. I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to accidentally poison my dog or something. I read about different types of yeast infections in dogs, what causes them, and what some natural remedies might be. That's where I stumbled upon the idea of a yeast spray.
Next up, I gathered my ingredients. This is super simple. You'll need:
- Distilled water (tap water might have stuff you don't want)
- Apple cider vinegar (the raw, unfiltered kind is best)
That's it! Told ya it was easy.
Now, the mixing part. This is where you gotta pay attention to the ratios. I started with a pretty mild mixture, just to be safe. I used:
- 1 cup distilled water
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
I just poured the water into a clean spray bottle and then added the apple cider vinegar. Give it a good shake to mix it all up.
Okay, time for the brave part: testing it on my dog. I picked a small, non-sensitive area, like her back, and gave it a little spritz. I watched her like a hawk for a few hours to make sure she didn't have any kind of reaction. Thankfully, she seemed fine.
So, the next day, I started spraying her more regularly. I focused on the areas where she was itching the most, like her paws and belly. I made sure not to get it in her eyes or nose. I sprayed her maybe two or three times a day.
And guess what? It actually seemed to help! The itching wasn't completely gone, but it was definitely less intense. She wasn't scratching herself raw anymore, which was a huge relief.
I kept using the spray for a couple of weeks, and her skin started to look a lot better. The redness was fading, and she seemed a lot happier.
Here's the thing: this isn't a magic bullet. It's not going to cure a serious yeast infection overnight. But for mild cases or as a preventative measure, it seems to work pretty well.
I've tweaked the recipe a bit since then. Sometimes I add a little bit of chamomile tea to the mix, because chamomile has anti-inflammatory properties. I just brew a strong cup of tea, let it cool, and add a tablespoon or two to the spray.
A word of caution: If your dog has a really bad yeast infection, or if the spray doesn't seem to be helping, you need to take them to the vet. They might need prescription medication.
But for everyday itching and minor skin irritations, this yeast spray has been a lifesaver for me and my furry friend. Give it a try and see if it works for you!
