Some animals have a yeast allergy, in which case foods such as bread and mushrooms should be avoided – although you can buy soda bread which is not made with yeast. Also some people and some animals have an allergy to the new DNA altered wheat and may fare better with old fashioned organic wheat.
However, if your dog or cat does not have a yeast allergy a small amount of Brewer’s yeast, which canines and felines often find very tasty, is a useful source of the B vitamins which are particularly good for the nervous system. B1 is also said to deter insect bites. B2 may help with a depressed animal.
