We are fostering a little pup and he was going mad biting and scratching his back, I came across your site and started him on the 50/50 Apple Cider Vinegar and water and it worked a treat so it's now part of our twice daily system, which he is now getting used to, however because we are on a small Island we could only get organic so am using that. I have just started to add a tsp to his drinking water... Let's see how we get on with that. I have tied this in with 1/4 tsp of coconut oil in his meals and that goes down a treat as well.

My 15 year old schnoodle has been scratching himself raw, he already has follicle cysts, so I've been really careful not to interfere with those. I just sprayed him with the ACV/Water combo... I am weeping, it's working!!!! He has always been on a 100% holistic organic diet, I'm wondering if the cheap treats he lives for may be the problem....have been giving him the same ones for years with no problems, but maybe the ingredients changed. But thankyouthankyouthankyou It's working :)

Hmmmmm, ACV/Water definitely works, but it's kinda short-term, how often are you supposed to spray? He's had almost 3 itch free hours, but is starting to scratch again.....I'm a little deflated. I did apply generously, his fur was very wet, does it accumulate and become longer term? Please and thank you.

Get him completely soaked with the ACV solution each and every day for maybe a week or so. Let him air-dry. No, there is no "cumulative" effect on the skin, but there may be a cumulative effect if you add it to his food (a tablespoon mixed into the food each time you feed him). You may also need to change his food to something that is grain-free, no corn, no wheat. Remember, when going grain-free, this includes treats!

How is the problem now Susan? Myself, a friend in Buckingham and a sister-in-law in Thurso also have itchy dogs. What is going on around here?!

Does the vinegar burn them or sting?
