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.
