Apple cider vinegar, how much?? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

gdogrl · 09-06-2006, 10:59 AM

I don't use White Vinegar as I don't think it cleans as well. I don't take it myself nor do I give it to my dogs. However, when I have rescued a small bird (finch type) I would put a drop or two in their water daily as it is an antibacterial agent as well. When my pups get smelly between baths, I wet a papertowel with ACV and wipe them down, freshens them right up.

A part is any amount you want it to be.

For example, if you want to fill an 8oz spray bottle, you would use 2 oz of ACV and 6oz of water. If your babies find it agreeable, make your next bottle half and half, 4oz of each.

I am a faith ful user of apple cider vinegar, for my babies, and would swear by it! I have a 2 litre jug of water for the dogs and put 3 capfuls in there and i have tasted it my self and can not taste it, the dogs will not drink water with out it, now i do change the water very often and disifect the water bottle often, but you will find the water dishes are not scummy either, it really does work...........

do i rinse her with the acv water before or after her conditioner? it's kind of strong-smelling to me but i may be just used to the white vinegar smell but i do like her to smell girly smelling and not like a pickle-will the smell wear off after a few minutes???

Weight Loss :
The use of apple cider vinegar as a home remedy for weight loss could lose weight gradually by taking 2 teaspoons of ACV in a glass of water before meals.

Bad Breath :
Due to its anticeptic properties, Apple Cider Vinegar makes a wonderful remedy for bad breath or halitosis. Simply add 2 teaspoons of ACV into a cup of water and gargle the mixture in your mouth for 10 seconds at a time and spit the solution out. Repeat until the cup is empty.

Body Odor :
For armpit odor, simply wipe them once each morning with undiluted apple cider vinegar (using a cotton ball). For foot odor, fill a pan with warm water and add 1/3 cup of ACV, then let your feet soak in this mixture for 15 minutes once per week.

You can douche with Apple cider vinegar and clear up yeast infections.

We put 1 capful in the 3 gallon waterer for our chickens. It helps with mites and other crawlies, and helps clear up any poop issues.

50/50 vinegar and water in a spray bottle and rub it into the skin, you can add a capful to their water bowl, it actually helps with eye tearing as well as aids with urinary issues, digestion, can deter fleas and mozzies.
Also can be used topical on cuts and abrasions. My dog scratched himself raw a few years back and I cleaned it with ACV from Bragg and within two days it healed.

Use the ACV mix as the conditioner, your dog will smell like a salad but who cares

Hopefully you have a great vet that will be honest and not give you the mainstream poo poo it's all anecdotal speech.

would love to hear what they say

It's very helpful for urinary tract infections too. Giving our dog acv every day has been the only medicine that has cleared it up. He was on antibiotics two times in a row and it kept coming back until we started giving him acv every day in his food. Now he's much happier and so are we!
