Mmmm…Apple Cider Vinegar.

Ok, so maybe it isn’t so yummy to us, but if you have dogs, you should probably look into ACV, especially if you prefer a holistic approach.

I have read several articles promoting the use of ACV, but it wasn’t until this week that I actually put it to the test. My “kids” were boarded at the vet’s office last week and apparently began stressing middle of the week or so, which is the first time they have reacted adversely to boarding there. Behavior-wise, though, they got rave reviews!

Anyway, Princess came down with diarrhea, and I noticed both she and Ginger appeared to be suffering the onset of UTIs as of Sunday. I remembered that ACV was listed as one of the many all-natural treatments for canine urinary problems. Being a Sunday, the vet was closed, so I opted for making a trip to the grocery store to pick up a bottle of ACV.

Since then, all signs of UTI have vanished in the girls, and we even started Ben on it as well because he typically has skin problems in the Spring. (He also managed to steal some of his gal pal, Peaches’, food while we were gone, causing him to be rather itchy.)

ACV is quickly winning me over, and I look forward to seeing continued improvement.

Here’s a quick rundown of some conditions that can be treated or eased with ACV:

• Urinary Tract Problems
• Skin Rashes and Hot Spots
• Ear Infections
• Constipation
• Joint and Muscle Discomfort
• Fleas, Ticks, Flies, Mosquitoes, and Ringworm
• Tear Stains
• and many more…

Not only is it great for pets, ACV also has numerous benefits for humans.
