Apple Cider Vinegar for Dogs
LOTS of benefits-mostly when you rub it on their skin ( I actually only do it on feet and legs personally) it prevents parasites as the acidity repels them (do this after a bath only) furthermore, having a small amount (based on your dog's weight) I used 1/2 teaspoon in 2 cups water for my Yorkies (I use flavored water) it creates PH balance most dogs don't have which can counteract acid reflux-vomiting of bile-glassiness (can you tell I have a Miniature Schnauzer) I used apple cider vinegar in conjunction with a raised feeder and a water bottle when two of my dogs had reflux and vomiting issues-we no longer have the issues period-no prescriptions, no surgery-just basic changes! Apple cider vinegar also works wonders for people I noted to a lady in another forum on it I had been prescribed several antacids-they are a band-aid I started a regiment of apple cider vinegar (mothers) and no longer even take over the counter antacids (antacids only cause your body to create more acid its a bad cycle an actual acid makes the body adjust and stop producing so much balancing you and curing for the most part). I've also heard that apple cider vinegar in a "rub" for dogs is good for basic skin irritation-careful with open wounds or a really bad rash, I use it carefully with triple antibiotic Neosporin ointment-I'd be hesitant as it might burn and hurt them so be careful of this-it may work but still so does isotropic alcohol. A little in ears (and dried properly) also works for parasites and for cleaning purposes.
