brown specks/pee pee area

Question
QUESTION: I notice these brown specs around the pee pee area (only in that area) it comes off after shampoo but back 2-3 days later Do anyone have any insight on what this might be

ANSWER: Hi - Well, it may be some excessive yeast bacteria.
You can try some Activia yogurt - give 1/2 cup per day for 2 weeks....
Less if your dog is under 10 lbs.

HOPE this helps..

QUESTION: what causes excessive yeast bacteria

ANSWER: Hi - The excessive yeast bacteria can be related to the dog food you are feeding.
Also, it can be related to food or environmental allergies.

Oh, great that your baby is taking the NuVET....
I wonder if you may want to do a food change over.  You can try Innova EVO: Wellness Core; Merrick Before Grain, or another grain-free food:
There are many good ones on the market.
Natural Balance is a good food but there are many better choices on the market.

Let me know what you find.
