How Much Vinegar for Dogs?

RE: How Much Vinegar for Dogs? Post By lisa (Guest Post) (05/22/2006) I have to say I tried this.. and it really made my 5 cats very ill.. When they opened their eyes the corners didn't look right.. They laid around and lost weight too !! I used white distilled vinegar.. Later I read that for people..(And probably cats too ) you should only use cider vin. The white-distilled actually draws the proteins from your system !! Must have done so to my cats. I broke down and bought Hartz .. they are doing great now !! lisa Editor's Note: Use distilled white vinegar for cleaning, apple cider vinegar as a food supplement or for cooking.

My indoor dogs are on Advantage 12 months a year, and as a result, there is no worry whatsoever when we go to the parks to run. Because the dogs are on Advantage, fleas are not in my home or on my indoor cats. Please check with the Doctor. Good Luck!

I started out with 1 tsp per day and my poor dogs were vomiting everywhere. The vet suggested the slow start. RE: How Much Vinegar for Dogs?

Post by terdralynn (95) | (05/16/2005) Contact I've read that you can use up to 1 tablespoon per 1/2 gallon of water (changed daily, of course), but the thing is to start out slowly so the dog has time to get use to the taste. I've also read that if you bathe a dog in vinegar it works as well as using flea shampoo, and it doesn't harm them because it's not a poison. Putting vinegar in the drinking water is also supposed to keep the dog's urine from browning your lawn, when you use 1 tablespoon to 1/2 gallon or so of water. I can't see how it would hurt an animal, but you may want to call your vet just to be sure. Terry from ChilliOH RE: How Much Vinegar for Dogs?
