Apple Cider Vinegar Internally
Apple cider vinegar can be added to your pet's food or water to relieve a systemic allergy problem. Start with 1 teaspoon daily for a 50 pound dog. Increase to 1 tablespoon daily if needed. Adjust the amount you give according to the weight of the dog. A small dog - 10 pounds or so will only need a scant 1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar once or twice a day. A very large dog, over 100 pounds, may need one or two tablespoons once or twice a day.
Apple Cider Vinegar Bath
You can give your dog or cat a bath to which apple cider vinegar has been added. Add one or two cups per bath. If pollen is the cause of your pet's allergies, a regular bath will help to remove excess pollen and irritation for your pet.
