Stubb's Story: Yeast Problems Blamed on Allergies

Where it started

The vet said allergies.
His family kept digging.

Around two years old, Stubb started having horrible itchy ears. The vet's read was allergies: change his diet. His family did, and nothing changed. Then his underbelly started turning black, and the licking began, worse and worse, with an odor his family couldn't ignore.

So they started researching on their own, and found the pattern we hear about on the phone every week: itchy ears, blackening skin, licking, and odor pointing at yeast overgrowth, not allergies. In their words: "I was so excited because this was exactly what was wrong with him."

Stubb's situation

Blue Heeler, symptoms from around age 2
Horrible itchy ears, blamed on allergies
A vet-advised diet change, with no results
Underbelly turning black; constant licking and odor
Family research connected the symptoms to yeast
Started the full program (today's Skin Rescue program)

Six months into the program, his family wrote to tell us how it went. Here's their letter.

A letter from Stubb's family · January 2018

“Around 2 years old, Stubb started having horrible itchy ears. The vet said you need to change his diet, he's got allergies. So I did this with no results. Then his underbelly started getting black and he would lick and lick getting worse and worse with a definite odor.

So I started researching myself, and found Nzymes and "yeast issues". I was so excited because this was exactly what was wrong with him. I started him on the program and I am happy to say after 6 months he is doing tremendously better. He's definitely a happier dog. His underbelly cleared up first, and his itchy ears are doing much better now.

I am very happy with the program and would definitely recommend it and will continue it indefinitely for the health of my pup.”

What Stubb's family did

One program, and six months of staying with it.

The Skin Rescue Bundle, daily

(Then called the Healthy Skin Program.) Started once their research pointed at yeast

Six months of patience

The underbelly cleared first, then the ears. Yeast timelines run in months, not days; our yeasty ears guide explains why the ears are often last to settle

Stubb the Blue Heeler in the grass, healthy and alert

Stubb, six months in.

Six months in

The underbelly cleared first. Then the ears followed.

Six months into the program, Stubb was "doing tremendously better." The blackened underbelly cleared up first, the itchy ears improved behind it, and the licking and odor faded with them. That clearing order is typical: the skin the yeast reached last is usually the first to come back.

His family's plan from there was simple: keep going. "I would definitely recommend it and will continue it indefinitely for the health of my pup."

— "He's definitely a happier dog."

The program Stubb stayed on. All of it, still here.

The Skin Rescue Bundle

Itchy ears, blackening skin, licking, and odor are the classic yeast pattern, and the program Stubb's family found is built for exactly that fight. Today it's the six-product Skin Rescue Bundle.
