Dogs First: Targeted Support for Yeast and Dental Health

Dogs First is an Ireland-based company founded by natural canine nutrition advocate Dr. Conor Brady. Their product line focuses on real food-based, holistic supplements that align beautifully with fresh feeding, natural detoxification, and wellness support.

Let’s focus on two of their standout categories: Yeast Support and Dental Health.

Yeast Aid by Dogs First

What it is
Yeast Aid is a powdered supplement designed to disrupt yeast overgrowth while supporting gut repair and microbiome restoration. Many dogs experience imbalances from poor-quality diets, repeated antibiotic use, and environmental toxin exposure — and this can manifest in skin, ears, and digestive issues.

Key ingredients include:

Caprylic Acid — a natural compound found in coconut oil known to break down yeast biofilms
Garlic (in controlled doses) — supportive in natural yeast-fighting protocols
Oregano — a traditional herb known to support microbial balance
Cinnamon & Clove — warming herbs with microbial support properties
Psyllium husk — provides gentle fiber for toxin elimination and gut binding

Why I like it
Yeast Aid focuses on rebalancing — not just killing off yeast. The inclusion of fiber, natural antifungals, and prebiotic elements makes it a good option for dogs who need to calm inflammation, bind endotoxins, and rebuild gut resilience. It can be added to food once daily, typically for 4–6 weeks as part of a yeast detox protocol.

Plaque Remover by Dogs First

What it is
A daily-use oral powder that works systemically to reduce tartar buildup and freshen breath. This is not a toothpaste — it’s added to food.

Key ingredients include:

Ascophyllum nodosum (brown seaweed) — a proven tool for reducing plaque and oral bacteria when used consistently
Parsley and Mint — natural breath fresheners
Coconut and Kelp — for additional mineral and antioxidant support

Why I like it
So many dogs have chronic plaque buildup, gum irritation, or dental odor from processed foods and poor oral hygiene. This product can be part of a preventative plan, especially when brushing isn’t an option. It’s also gentle enough for senior dogs or dogs with dental sensitivities.

How to Use Them in a Holistic Wellness Plan

Yeast Aid is best used in a gut reset plan — often in combination with probiotics, binders, and liver support. I typically recommend it be used for at least one full cycle (30 days), followed by reassessment.
Plaque Remover can be added daily to food as a maintenance tool — or cycled 3–4 times per year in dogs prone to plaque and tartar buildup.
Both can be used together with fresh food, especially raw or lightly cooked meals, to enhance results.

Why I Recommend Dogs First

They formulate from a real food-first perspective — no synthetic fillers, additives, or preservatives.
Their products target root causes, not just symptoms — especially important for chronic yeast or gum issues.
They’re transparent about ingredients, dosages, and intended use.
Their philosophy aligns with mine — nutrition and nature as the foundation of good health.
