Yeast infection is specifically caused by a fungus species called Malassezia.

Though it can be found in other closed areas like arm pits, skin folds and ears, they are most common on paws. This is why yeast infection is more common on paws than on other parts of the body. Your dog’s paw is the right place for these pathogenic yeast to grow as they tend to be moist all the time and are rarely exposed to sunlight. Yeast infection on the skin mostly occurs in areas that are moist and even hidden from sunlight. When any living organism comes into contact with these pathogenic yeast, it results in an infection, as the yeast enters your body and multiples rapidly. These yeasts that cause infections are called pathogenic yeasts.
Though some are beneficial as they are used for making baked items and beer, others cause infections in humans and animals. It is believed that there are hundreds of yeast organisms, and each of it has a unique role to play in their surrounding ecosystem. So, what in the world is a yeast infection? Yeast is a microscopic organism that lives in practically every place in the world.
One such common infection is the yeast infection on their paws. But, when their immune system is not at its best or if it encounters microorganisms that are very powerful, it results in an infection. Like their human parents, dogs also have a moderate immunity system which means, they can keep many microorganisms at bay.
