5. Fight Yeast and Bacterial Infections

Skin allergies often lead to secondary yeast or bacterial infections. The pH-balancing properties of baking soda can help combat the growth of these microbes on your dog’s skin. Yeast infections, in particular, tend to thrive in moist areas, and baking soda can help dry out and balance these spots.
How to use:
For yeast or bacterial infections, add a tablespoon of baking soda to your dog’s bathwater. Soak your dog for about 5-10 minutes, focusing on the affected areas. This will help neutralize the environment on their skin and prevent the overgrowth of yeast or bacteria.
