Blackwatch Feed Program - Systemic Yeast / Fungus Overgrowth

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 to you due to your country's customs restrictions -

Correcting Yeast Overgrowth

 

  1. Read this article: A Mini-Course in Systemic Yeast

  2. Check your pets thyroid we can't correct the problem with a thyroid issue..

  3. Change the diet - see below

  4. Using the Yeast Removal Kit

    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.

Where To Purchase Products

1. DOG FOOD

I have worked with the Cocquyt family, owners of Eagle Pet Foods, for over 20 years. As of April 2009, I am no longer feeding or endorsing Eagle Pet Foods, under the new ownership of Berwin Corporation and under the new entity WellPet LLC.

For this feed program I recommend using Precise (Super Premium) or Precise Plus (Holistic) brand of food for your pet.

For a distributor in your area contact www.precisepet.com or it can be ordered on line at dogfooddirect.com

For this condition I specifically recommend using: Any of the Precise/Precise Plus products except the Lamb Sweet Potato. Also if you want to add a raw component to this diet or feed a balanced raw diet, I recommend Northwest Naturals.

Other options: Fromms, Back to Basics, Wysong, Nature's Logic, Healthwise,
Timberwolf Organic

Just keep in mind it has to be a holistic food, meat based and no potatos in it.

2. The Yeast Kit - Blackleaf, BakPakPlus, OxEdrops, Nzymes - a 4 step program www.nzymes.com

FOR VARIETY - canned meats, fruits and veggies, (no grapes, raisins, potatoes, onions or junk food).


Description of Supplements

1. Food - Kibble and Canned - Precise/Precise Plus

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.


Optional:

Level 5000 Joint Supplementation
- 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.
I have used Level 5000 liquid joint supplementation with great success on my dogs.


Options: For Variety - Meats - Fruits - Vegetable

I use canned dog foods* for variety. I mix a couple of tablespoons of canned meat with tepid temperature water and make a gravy. *Do NOT use grocery store brand of canned food they are full of grains, preservatives and 4D meats (dead, diseased dying and disabled) and they give the dogs stinky gas and are full of unhealthy fillers. NO homemade concoctions of meat/rice combinations that you make up at home, they are very unbalanced in their calcium and phosphorus levels and can cause growth problems.

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 and couple cloves of garlic. The idea is to use this as the variety 3- 4 times a week.

 


Variety - After Yeast Process

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% of this in combination with my Eagle kibble.
Please do not use this during the yeast treatment because we want to limit the amount of potatoes/fruits and certain veggies for now.

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 or Thrive or one of the other meat based products which has a raw organic turkey or chicken, fruits and veggies.

EMBARK 29% protein - 16% fat - Organic Turkey, Flaxseed, Potatoes, Celery, Spinach, Carrots, Coconut, Apples, Kelp, Eggs, Sesame Seeds, Bananas, Cranberries, Rosemary.


One- 4 lb bag will make up to 17 lbs of moist meat/fruits and veggies and if used to top dress your kibble you can see it goes a long way. The Honest Kitchen dog food and Eagle Pet Foods are endorsed by the Whole Dog Journal.
