What food would you guys recommend for a little old dog that has yeasty skin issues? Try a heavily buttered nuked sweet potato a few times a week and see how it goes.

Last we talked to the vet they wanted to push Apoquel(sp?).
Heard some bad things not to mention it made the dog extremely lethargic.

Just a little dog, might be easy to make it food. Cheap raw protein, some veg, maybe cooked rice? Bet there’s a ton of recipes on the Googler.
Turn the wife loose on the grinder then quick wrap into 1# pucks to freeze. 20-30 pounds would likely last a couple/few months for an ankle biter.

Chicken based food jacked up my Australian Sheppard eyes.
We switched to beef and lamb (switch between the two)... and his eyes cleared up in a few weeks.
YMMV My vet told me that out of all the foods available to dogs Chicken in one way or another will lead to allergies for the most part.

Heard some bad things not to mention it made the dog extremely lethargic. Raw eggs ?? I had a friend in AK that bred, showed, competed with West Highland White terriers. Only thing she fed them was cooked chicken, broccoli, and some rice as I recall. Along with a powdered vit/min supplement as I recall. The rice might be an issue if there's a yeast problem Sam, but her dogs were pretty healthy and strong for small dogs. I'd check what your feeding and see if there's much in the way of corn or other grain for the yeast to feed on. We feed the whippets ProPlan, except the older one gets some Hills K/D kidney diet food. She's 13 now and test before last showed kidney issues. Last test after feeding the special diet showed improvement. Another couple of months and she gets tested again.

Low sodium turkey hot dogs, supplemented by some dry dog food and during hunting season by elk, deer and antelope liver, heart and kidneys. been doing this for 30 years, all dogs are solid muscle and healthy.

Back in the day I'd give Roxxi the lab cheese when ma & pa inlaw were coming over. Roxxi got the nasty gas for their visit. Stinker!
Roxxi was a very good lab, I miss her. I'm divorced now.

I alternate between raw pigtails and raw whole chicken legs as the main staple, bone-in, of course. I supplement that with a small piece of beef liver every day, a few frozen berries (a variety of them), and a fish oil gelcap. Been doing this for many years. My oldest dog will be 12 this spring, and still looks and behaves like a dog in her prime. Both my dogs have pearly white teeth, with no plaque buildup, healthy gums, sweet breath, and have never needed a teeth cleaning.
Occasionally, when I can find them, I feed them a raw beef kidney, for some variety. Are you serious? I used to feed my mutt chicken bones. Then my vet told me that the sharp end of a broken bone can perforate the dog's intestine, and the dog needs life saving surgery for $1800. No more bones for my dog. To be fair, prior to that my dog ate all the bones of 14 chickens, and never got sick.

That pretty much pertains to cooked chicken and rib bones, not so much raw, uncooked.

Another Purina Dog Chow. Before we were breeders, we had a Golden that lived to 16 on Kibbles and bits. Never had a health issue, but it may just have been his genes .Who knows.

There is some kind of problem with so many dogs getting cancers. Diet must have a big part in why. Probably so with humans too.
