Apple Cider Vinegar for Canine Health

Apple Cider Vinegar is an all-natural liquid with seemingly endless applications for both people and their pets. Made of fermented apples, this slightly acidic tonic can help your pup inside and out—add a teaspoon of an organic, live apple cider vinegar to your dog’s water bowl to help calm an overly alkaline digestive tract, apply it to the skin to soothe itch and irritation, or mix it with three parts water to make a cleaning solution that will get rid of the scent of urine and similar foul odours. Do not buy a white distilled vinegar as it has none of the beneficial elements of ACV. Instead, look for a raw, unfiltered, naturally fermented vinegar such as Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. (Look for the sediment in the bottom called “the mother” and you’ll know you’ve found the right stuff!) Bragg’s non-GMO apple cider vinegar is naturally gluten free, unpasteurized, and made from certified organic apples. With its antioxidant and antibacterial qualities, ACV is an easy way to support your dog’s health. $4, bragg.com
