7 reasons the probiotic you tried didn't fix your dog's yeasty ears (and what to look for instead)
If you already tried a probiotic and your dog's ears still smell, itch and fill up with black gunk, it doesn't mean probiotics can't help. Here's what usually goes wrong, and what actually works.
1. Your last probiotic was dead before your dog ate it.
Probiotics are living bacteria. But most chews are made at 45–80°C, the same way kibble is, because it's cheaper. At those temperatures, many of the bacteria die before the tub is even sealed. So your dog got the chew, but not the bacteria. Only chews that are cold-pressed below 38°C keep them alive.
2. Probiotics alone are not enough.
Good bacteria can't rebalance the gut alone. They need something to feed them and something to support the gut around them. Probiotics add the good bacteria. Prebiotics feed them. Para- and postbiotics give extra gut support. Most regular probiotic brands, probably including the one you tried, only give you the first one.
3. Your dog's ears were left out.
Biotics support the gut. They don't calm the ears on their own. You also need quercetin, colostrum and essential oils for the best possible absorption, and to help restore the skin in and around the ears. Without them, the gut gets better while your dog keeps shaking their head and scratching their ears.
4. If your dog won’t eat it, it can’t work
If your dog won't eat it, none of the formula matters. Heat-processing strips the natural aroma that gets dogs interested. That's why it should be taste-tested on real dogs, and easy to give whole or crumbled into food.
5. We compared the market. Only one chew got all four right.
Most chews get one or two of these right. That's why we compared the probiotic market and found that DogSuppy Itch Relief was made to get all four. Every chew is cold-pressed below 38°C, so the bacteria stay alive. It combines a special 4-in-1 biotic system and includes quercetin, colostrum and essential oils to support the ears. And it was taste-tested on dogs until they took it like a treat.
6. Recommended by vets, trusted by 200,000+ UK dog owners.
DogSuppy is recommended by vets like Dr. Vanessa Waite of The Vet Station Molesey and Guy Colson of Vets for Pets. In a follow-up survey of DogSuppy customers, 89% said the ears cleared up within 4 to 6 weeks. That's why it's rated 4.6/5 on Trustpilot.
7. Gunk and cheesy smell gone in 60 days, or you don’t pay
You've already paid for one probiotic that didn't work. Yeasty ears don't turn around in two weeks, so DogSuppy gives you 60 days. If the head shaking, the smell and the ear scratching haven't eased, you get your money back. And in most cases you don't even have to send the tub back. That's how certain they are.

For anyone with doubts: this really is a fantastic product!!
Fast delivery, a lovely discount if you order several tubs at once and, most importantly: it really works!! I was very sceptical after trying so many things, but this really makes a big difference! We had to persevere and stick with it for a while, but the itching is so much less now — almost completely gone! And if she now eats something that would previously have meant going straight onto tablets or injections, she barely has any trouble now... her yeast problems are also almost completely gone, and her skin folds and ears are clean!! We’re convinced!!!

Super-fast, friendly and good service. The products work fantastically — a real godsend!
The dogs love it. Thanks to Itch Relief, no more inflamed eyes or ears. He hardly licks his paws any more.
Pomskies are known for poor teeth and quickly developing unpleasant smells. We could see this in our six-year-old Pomsky too, but thanks to the mouthwash, his teeth are lovely and white again, and there’s no more unpleasant smell from his mouth! Brilliant!
Now trying Anti-Stress for the first time — curious to see how it goes!!

The yeast on the paws disappearing...
Because it looks as though our little dog, who has a food allergy and yeasty paws, probably won’t need the monthly injections any more thanks to these chews. Apparently they do balance something in the gut.

Arrived the very next day after ordering...
Arrived the very next day after ordering, with a lovely little extra for the dog as well.
We hope the probiotics help soon, so she scratches less and has fewer yeast problems in her ears.
Very good service..
HAPPY HOLIDAYS 🎄

Billie, our Spanish Water Dog, really loves the ‘treats’, and now we hope the yeast in her ears disappears soon.
