BANNED FOR NOT MAILING PRODUCTS PURCHASED | Apple cider vinegar, how much?? I have been reading a lot of good info on Apple cider vinegar and was wondering how much of it I should add to her food? She is only 2 lbs, I was thinking maybe 1/4 tsp? I read that a large dog can have 1 TBS and a small dog 1tsp, but what about a tiny baby? |

http://www.bragg.com/products/vinegarPets.html http://www.earthclinic.com/Pets/acvfordogs.html ACV is the natural king of skin remedies. It is wonderful for itching and scratching pets as well as a superb skin and hair conditioner. Good old apple cider vinegar either straight or diluted 50/50 with water can be applied directly to the affected area and allowed to dry. It will eliminate dandruff, rejuvenate hair, skin and help sweeten and balance the pH levels in the body. When giving your pet a bath, shampoo, rinse, then apply ACV either straight or diluted, followed by rinsing with water. Notice, any residue shampoo will be washed out and you will feel and see an increased softness and sheen to the coat. It can be followed with a conditioner of your choice. Taken internally will help the body against arthritis, itching, obesity, bad odor, dry skin, joint problems, lack luster hair and weak immune system. Average dosage for a dog or person is 1/2 oz morning and 1/2 oz. evening. A cat is half that dose. Can be diluted fifty fifty with water, dripped on food. Finicky pets try tiny doses then work up to suggested amount. | |

| I've heard of white vinegar baths, but I would be afraid to give it internally to a small yorkie. I would talk to a vet.

| Use only organic ACV and only in food, not water Hi guys, I've been using ACV since the beginning of the summer to discourage fleas and for the other healthy benefits. Only use organice ACV with the "mother" in it, like Bragg's. Start with only a few drops of it on the food for each meal. The odor is very potent, and most babies do not like it. I feel you should not put it in water, because our babies should always have access to clear, clean, fresh water, and let it not be made unpalatable; they need to drink, and they need to rely on us for the water supply. I'm up to 6 drops per meal, and I put it in a small amount of wet food and put the kibbles over it. You can also make a spray of it to ward of fleas and other insects. First dilute it 1 part ACV to 3 parts water, and gradually to half and half. If the smell is too strong, you can use distilled white vinegar as a spray only, not to ingest. Good luck with the natural, organic side of Yorkie love! PS - The Whole Dog Journal is the best resource for health, homeopathics, etc, and it is only $20 per year. Try it.

A part means...say you measure 1 cup of ACV, then you would use 3 cups water and mix them together. If you want to mix a small amount...1 tsp ACV and 3 tsp water. Hope I didn't confuse you!

| I've never even heard of this before, but I find it very interesting. I guess I'll ask the vet first anyway about the pros and cons of acv. I'm curious to see what he'll say.

| I use ACV as an after bath rinse for all my pups. It makes their hair soft and smells really fresh. My Cairn had skin irritations and the ACV has cleared that up. I also steamclean my carpets monthly with ACV/Water mixture, clean the bird cages with it, pore it in the tolets to remove any stains and put it in the white's when washing clothes. There are so many uses for it and the smell only hangs around for a bit. My husband always says the house and pups smells so fresh, so it must be good.....

| Can you take it yourself? and what does it do for you? i mop my floors with white vinegar water and I have a bottle of it I spray on puppy accidents. I sprayed some more acv water on Pudge today and hard to believe but his bo-bos from skeetie bites are healing up already. So thanks for the tips!!!
