If your doodle scratches constantly, licks their paws, gets recurring ear infections, or has a musty smell that no amount of bathing fixes — this is your hub.
Most owners (and some vets) treat these as skin problems. They’re usually not. They’re gut problems that show up on the skin. Yeast overgrowth, immune reactivity, and food-driven inflammation all manifest in exactly the same way — and they require a gut-first approach to fix.
Where food fits in. Most chronic doodle skin and ear problems clear when the food does. Gunnar's recurring yeast and ear infections broke after we moved him off the food that was driving them onto raw + cooked + vegetables for a year, then onto fully raw. The full story is in his case study; the underlying ranking — raw → freeze-dried raw → better kibble — is in our feeding philosophy.
