Default Just curious? Does anyone here use...

Apple Cider Vinegar? Or am I the only one? I use one cap in DaKota's drinking water. I found out how to do this on line.
Her eyes get runny & red during the warm weather. But, when I put this in her water her eyes clear up. I've been doing this for a while now. Not only does it clear her eyes, I use it with my Pug & my Mom's Shiba Inu. All three dogs coats are really soft & shinny!
The Shiba had some coat issues when with my parents. The vet could not find anything. Since he's been here. His coat has been filling out nicely. Not balding spots at all. I was just curious about this. I also told my sister about the vinegar too. She can not believe how well it is doing on her Bull Dog!

I have heard of using Apple Cider Vinegar for pets before and I was wondering.... one of my dogs has a beard that gets wet when he drinks. It has been smelling a little yeasty lately. Do you think a little apple cider vinegar in the water would help this? I got the idea from someone I know that wipes off her dogs beard and paws with plain vinegar water after eating raw.

Sounds interesting, Morgan gets red eyes in the spring and summer too. Since she also gets a touch of collie nose, I think she has mild allergies. I'll have to look it up!

Years ago I had a bit of a stomach ache, and didn't want to go to work. So I needed a REAL reason to not go, so I drank a GLASS of that vinegar. DUH. Fixed the stomach ache. Went to work....

I use it sometimes. You can rinse your dogs in it to help repel fleas too. I use the Braggs Organic.

Apple Cider Vinegar or ACV is great stuff. It is full of potassium, calcuim, magnesium, iron and many other minerals and enzymes. I use the Organic Braggs AVC. If you buy the supermarket kind it is processed and all the "good stuff" is taken out of it. This is great stuff for use humans too. I bought the Braggs ACV book and ACV has many uses. Please give it a try.
