I am happy to say, that since I started giving Hershey Kisses yogurt, the ear infections went away! Now whenever he gets a flair up, I give him a little more for a day or two and the infection is gone. My vet was amazed and he is very happy that he doesn't have to knock Hershey out anymore to clean out his ears. Thanks so much for your tips!

Yeah! My 11year old rotti-blue healer mix also suffered chronically with these ear infections. I add 4 tablespoons of yogurt ( should go by weight of dog)to her food every day and no more ear infections since I started doing that. She has not had a flair up since. Just make sure it is all natural and no sugar added. Also get some Zymox with otic HC 10%( order it on line).Knocked out her ear infection in 3 days. The yogurt does take about 2 weeks to kick in from the time you start giving it. The yeast infections are immune related and that's why yogurt works. The yogurt was my last hope because nothing work. Hope this gives everyone more info.

Thank you so much for this hint! I will begin trying this on my Rott/Lab/Boxer/Shepard mix tomorrow. I guess it makes sense considering most of the ear infections are "yeasty" & nasty things that drive the poor guys nuts! I am hoping this will give him some relief.

Thank you so much for this hint! I have a dachshund who is also 10 years old and has suffered for years with ear infections. I have spent I don't even know how much money on vet bills and meds for her ear infections over the years. I'm going to start her on this yogurt regimen and hopefully it'll help her. I'll start her on 1/2 tbs since she's so much smaller than your lab and play with the dose till I get it right for her.
Can I just give the dogs acidolphilus which is found in yogurt to ease the ear infections?
