5 out of 5 stars

I have a 12 year old doberman who was nueterred at the age of 7 when I picked him up from a rescue. He developed a horrible incontinence several years later(would urinate like a water hose and have no idea he was doing it). I tried desperately to treat it with a vet for over a year to no avail. My husband was ready to put him down or make him live outside..yikes!! I found earthclinic and tried putting just a teaspoon of ACV in his water and the incontinence stopped immediately (less than an hour). I treated him for a couple of weeks and then backed off and now only treat him when I notice he is starting to drip or has blood in his urine. As far as an amount, animals are smart, if I get too much, he won't drink his water. It really depends on the size of the water dish, the larger the more you can put in. I just put as tiny amount as I can in his dish which holds about 5 cups of water. Usually one day of ACV and the incontinence stops. I also use a spoonful of pumpkin meat for stool issues. A teaspoon of 3% h2o2 in his water if he gets a bronchial cough and it clears up immediately as well. These rememdies work better than anything I have recieved from the vets, and I have rushed him to some of the best clinics in the state. I save the vets for larger issues, like polyps in the bladder.

I tried ACV on my 6 year old lab/whippet cross after reading about it here (mild relaxed/night-time incontinence manifested around four years after he had been neutered), it had little noticeable effect; but then every dog is different.

I have sourced some cornsilk capsules here in the UK, I'm going to try them on him.

My 3 year old husky started to develop incontinence problems a few months back. At first, I thought it was a bladder infection, but her only symptom is a leaky bladder when she sleeps. Also, it is sporadic, and sometimes she can go a month or two without leaking. However, it has been getting worse lately. I decided to try the ACV treatment. She won't take it in yogurt, nor will she take it in water. The dog will eat everything, from cat poop to her own poop, but when it comes to this, she won't touch it--go figure. I have found that she will take it when I mix it with peanut butter. I use organic peanut butter with just a capful or 2 mixed in really well. I have only been doing this for 2 days, and I noticed that she didn't leak last night. However, since this can be sporadic for her, I will keep treating her and report back after awhile.

I poured it into a slice of wheat bread and my picky puppy ate it up!

How are you giving it to your dog? Dry food or wet food? Squirting it down her throat? Any help would be great!

Thanks much for the information. My old recently adopted dog dribbles and has some diarrhea. I boiled some chicken and white rice add added a bit of ACV and pumpkin. My fingers are crossed and Little Winnie really enjoyed dinner.
