I have been adding 2 teaspoons of ACV in with my dogs water daily,i have heard that this helps with hot spots,does anyone else feed ACV to their dogs,what amounts do you use?what are the reasons you use it?Does it have any other value besides helping with hot spots?

thanks

What are hot spots??

Hi Christine, yes I use it sometimes :) It aids digestion & the uptake of other vits from foods. It does something else but I can`t remember right now & don`t want to give you the wrong info. I use the organic one & put a couple tsp in a very large drinking bowl.

Christine, Spain.

Yes i use it not every day but three times a week in there food as my lot will not have it in there water it helps keep stones at bay in the bladder and keeps urine is that how you spell it? clear as well as a few other things.

I used ACV when I started the dog I rehomed off on BARF to help digest bones; he does not need it now and my bitch never needed it.l

I use organic ACV generally daily but 1-2 teaspoons only, Sainsubury or Holland and Barrett

The benefits , there are loads.

Here is a few links for you..

Hi, I used it for my hayfever this year. The unpasturised variety has the most health benefits.

Hi Christine,

I use about a teaspoonful or so a day in Bess's water as it helps them to repel fleas.

Val, have a look here for info on hot spots.
