Apple Cider Vinegar for Dogs - Is it Safe for Dogs?
Apple cider vinegar, when used in appropriate amount, is safe for dogs with one exception - Dogs with a chronic yeast infection (Candida) or those with an overly acidic system or irritated intestines are not recommended. Vinegar is believed to reactivate or worsen these conditions.
Other precautions when using ACV on your dog:
Never give undiluted ACV to your dog.
When using it as a rinse, take care not to let it get into your dog's eyes.
Also, do not use ACV on open wounds such as cuts or scratches as it will burn.
Apple Cider Vinegar for Dogs - Which ACV?
Not all vinegars have the same benefits. Do not use a vinegar that is clear such as wine vinegar, sushi vinegar, etc. that can be found in most supermarkets. These types of vinegar are "dead" because they do not contain any enzymes and other live factors as found in unpasteurized ACV.
The best ACV is one that is raw, unpasteurized, unheated, and organic. You can find organic ACV in health food stores. |
