The thing about regular versus targeted use is understanding what makes it safe for one rather than the other: the pH level. Depending upon the extent of the lesions and the severity of the symptoms, a yeast infection on a dog’s skin might be treated using topical (surface) treatments, systemic medications (usually oral) or a combination of both.

A medicated dog shampoo must stay on the skin for at least 5 to 10 minutes to be most effective. Griffin advises owners to apply the shampoo all over, paying particular attention to the problem areas. After this time frame, thoroughly rinse the shampoo with clear, lukewarm water. Treatment for yeast dermatitis may be topical, oral, or a combination of both, and is based on the severity of your dog's condition. Chlorhexidine gluconate, on the other hand, possesses both antibacterial and antifungal properties. This powerful ingredient not only fights against fungal infections but also prevents bacterial growth that may exacerbate skin issues.

Different types of fungal infections that can affect dogs

As a veterinarian, I understand the complexities of skin conditions in dogs. Even with this curated list of shampoos, you should first visit your veterinarian, who will diagnose your dog's skin condition and recommend a medicated dog shampoo if appropriate. Be aware that a prescription medicated dog shampoo may be the best choice over an over-the-counter (OTC) shampoo. Always follow your veterinarian's instructions for using any shampoo. If you're looking for a nonmedicated formula, we cover them in our guide to the best dog shampoos. One of the most common skin infections in our canine companions is dermatitis caused by the yeast Malassezia.

Sulfur: Sulfur is usually used in conjunction with salicylic acid and acts as a degreaser. This removes the skin oils which support yeasts. Usually, treatment for yeast or fungal skin infection in dogs lasts for a minimum of a few weeks and is continued for at least seven to 10 days beyond an apparent cure, so it’s vital that the medications are used as prescribed during this time, even if your dog looks normal. Some dogs have an immune deficiency making them ineffective at fighting yeast infections resulting in chronic infection. Dogs that receive immunosuppressive drugs such as corticosteroids (steroids) may also be unable to effectively prevent yeast infections, so may develop a chronic yeast infection. The frequency depends on the severity of your dog’s condition and your vet’s instructions. Generally, once or twice a week is recommended until the infection is under control.
