immune & allergy support
Ear infections are a common issue that affects so many dogs! Part of why they are so common is because of the shape of their ear canals and another is that dogs are so prone to getting into things! Going for a swim, rolling around in the dirt, sniffing through a field full of pollen, or getting into foods they’re allergic to are all ways they can get an ear infection. Don’t worry, we are here to help pet parents find a natural solution for ear infections!
Meet Tinker Belle and Periwinkle!
Back in February, furmama Shae reached out to us about her two dogs with “yeasty ears“. Periwinkle and Tinker Belle are Shae’s beautiful doggos, an Australian Shepherd, and a Golden Retriever mix. Shae and her family had recently moved to a new home near the beach. Shae noted that the dogs’ ears seemed to have gotten worse since the move. She wondered if something in the new environment could be the cause behind her furkiddos’ ear issues.
Trying A Natural Supplement And Ear Drops
Neither Tinker Belle nor Periwinkle had been diagnosed with a condition that could be an underlying cause like hypothyroidism or parasites. If there were underlying conditions, we would recommend a regimen that also addresses that condition as well. For Periwinkle and Tinker Belle, we recommended that Shae start them on Stimmune and Echo Gold.
Stimmune is a dietary supplement made from a blend of herbs that supports a healthy histamine response, can help the body fight infections, and supports the immune system. This supplement should be administered twice a day, either directly in the mouth or mixed in with their food.
Echo Gold is our all-natural ear drops formula. It contains herbs that help fight infections, and help reduce inflammation and irritation in the ears. Echo Gold can be used as drops for furkiddos fighting an infection or be applied to the ears using a cotton round for regular cleaning.
NHV Pet Experts To The Rescue
A few weeks later, we checked in to see how Tinker Belle and Periwinkle’s ears were doing. Periwinkle’s ears had cleared up with Stimmune and Echo Gold, but Tinker Belle had improvement but was still infected.
We were thrilled to hear that Periwinkle was back to her old self, but we were still concerned about Tinker Belle. Since she was still struggling with her ears, it told us that there might be something else going on. We advised Shae to schedule a free 15-minute video call with one of our pet experts so we could get a better idea of why her ears were still infected.
Shae chatted with one of our in-house veterinarians, Dr. Aline, who gave her some tips on cleaning the ears, suggested doubling the dosage, and discussed Tinker Belle’s diet. Dr. Aline recommended trying an elimination diet to see if the ear infections could be related to food allergies.
Shae followed Dr. Aline’s advice and tried an elimination diet for Tinker Belle. After a few weeks, Shae discovered that Tinker Belle was allergic to chicken and beef! By removing the allergens from her diet and doubling the Stimmune dosage, Tinker Belle’s ears cleared!
Cheers to Shae who didn’t give up and reached out when she knew her pups needed some support! We are so happy we were able to a natural solution for ear infections to help both Periwinkle and Tinker Belle!
It’s our mission to be there for pet parents like Shae and their precious furkiddos. If your pet is struggling with an ear infection or other health issues, we are here to help! Start chatting with our pet expert team by clicking the button below.

Symptoms of Allergies in Dogs
- Hot Spots
- Sneezing
- Difficulty breathing
- Face scratching or rubbing
- Ear infection
- Watery eyes
Causes of Allergies in Dogs
- Allergenic Food - chicken and beef can often be culprits
- Fleas & Insect Bites
- Environmental factors such as dust mites, pollen and other irritants
An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to a normally harmless substance called an antigen. Allergies in dogs often occur when allergens are inhaled, ingested, or absorbed by the body. When this occurs, the immune system becomes over-reactive to substances it believes are harmful. This reaction causes a release of histamine, causing the common allergy symptoms in your pet.
The cause of allergies in dogs can be difficult to determine. While it is always best to eliminate the cause altogether, like omitting a specific food from their diet, some causes can be nearly impossible to totally eradicate, like dust mites or pollen. This is where a dog allergy supplement that is taken daily can help relieve your loved one of common allergens, even when you're not exactly sure what they are allergic to.

Seasonal Allergy Support for Dogs
Dogs can have seasonal allergies just like people. A dog’s immune system will react to everyday allergens found in the environment.

Your pet’s immune system can overreact to these common unharmful environmental substances. You can help support your pet’s immune reaction to these airborne irritants by using safe and natural herbal supplements.
It’s best to first ensure that your dog has a seasonal allergy and is not dealing with skin allergies or food allergies. If you suspect this, our pet experts can offer different types of suggestions to help, like an elimination diet or novel protein diet for food allergies.
