Foods for Pets with Candida-Yeast Problems

Considerations for Choosing a Pet Food

Our recommendations center around foods
considered to be Super Premium or Holistic. This
means they are 'Meat-based' and meet the highest
quality standards in the industry, including
ingredients which are more "Human-grade" instead
of your typical "by-products" that are common to
lower grade manufacturing. Also, you can expect
such foods to be devoid of harmful
preservatives, additives, and harsh chemicals.
Last but not least, these premium foods are also
more likely to incorporate a higher quality
'vitamin and mineral' package designed to be
more thoroughly absorbed by your pet's body.

These high-quality 'more natural' pet foods will
NOT be found in supermarkets, large corporate pet
stores, or discount chains. So, please use our
list below and follow the Dealer Locater links
to find a source close to you.

Infection is abbreviated - SYI.)

KNOW THE INGREDIENTS IN YOUR PET'S FOOD

The list of valid reasons for knowing the
ingredients in your pets' food is lengthy:
• Though antibiotics and vaccinations
are the most likely causative factors for a
Candida/Systemic Yeast issue, they are not the
only contributor. ADDITIVES in pet foods can
also be a causative factor; such may include
preservatives, antibiotics, colorings, dyes, and
even pest-prevention agents.
• Most common Big-Name and Big-Store pet
foods are grain-based foods - loaded with starchy
ingredients that provide the sugar that Candida
yeast thrives on. Many prominent name foods use
corn as a primary ingredient - which is of great
concern in these matters.
• STARCHY INGREDIENTS TO AVOID - IN THE
TOP 5-6 INGREDIENTS: Aside from Corn or corn
meal, corn starch or Corn-Gluten Meal, you
should check the TOP 5-6 ingredients for wheat
products (including Gluten), potatoes, white
rice (brewers rice), sweet-potatoes, and even
Tapioca (common in 'grain-free' foods).
• Even if you currently use a premium,
or better quality food, you must still follow
the above rule and find one WITHOUT the above
starchy carbohydrates listed in the first 5-6
ingredients of the food.
• NEW GRAIN FREE: As with other pet
foods, MOST Grain-Free foods will NOT be on our
recommended listing - due to incorrect
carbohydrates like potatoes, tapioca, or sweet
potato. Please stick with Grain-Free choices
found in our list.

Understanding the word "MEAL" in pet food
ingredients

Per explanation by one of the better Pet Food
Manufacturers: "MEAT MEAL" is highly
concentrated meat that is 'dehydrated', and
thereby contains 5% moisture and 70% protein.
Whereas, normal 'wet' Meat is about 70% water
and about 12% protein. So, when 'normal meat' is
processed, most of that weight is lost, which
makes the meat - by weight - way down the list
of ingredients, and you end up with a food that
is NOT meat based, and likely "grain based" -
with very low protein.

As an example, seeing 'Chicken Meal' listed is
GOOD, whereas a listing of 'Chicken' or
'De-boned chicken' is fooling people into
thinking the food "meat based".
