I was just told about this site!!! I am so thrilled... I am learning about the benefits of ACV and am reading about how it will benefit my 5 year old lab. My question is when I rinse her with the 1.5 cups of ACV I am assuming I leave that on her... ACV does not have the best smell, so I was wondering if the smell stays obvious for long or does it evaporate?

I swear by apple cider vinegar for my dog's acid reflux. The vet suggested pepcid ac but I much rather natural methods without medications. Just shy of one tablespoon in his food- both meals- (he's 80lbs) and problem pretty much solved. (He gets natural food. ) I also think it is working to kill ticks. I want to try tea tree oil for ticks but twice now I have pulled dead ticks off him-- the only thing I can think of is the ACV! At first he wasn't sure what to make of the ACV but he either loves it now or just doesn't care. Great stuff.

I have started my ShihTzu on ACV last winter when he started whizzing and looked like he was having trouble walking. After just couple months he was fit as a fiddle so I decided to start drinking ACV myself. It is amazing how well I feel and never get one of the nasty cold that people seem to carry year round... I am using the _____ organic and unpasteurized ACV.

My German shepherd has a yeasty smell. Bottom of her belly is all darkened skin . She had reddy patches of crusty smelly skin near her tail at the bottom of her back. She rubs her whole chest and belly on the carpet. Her chest looks red too. She nibs at her legs as well. Her nose warm too . I relieve her with showers Apple Cider Vinegar rinses but always there. I give her dry food cold meats chicken procesessed ham .chew sticks treats etc. She always looks misable I am trying. Help would be welcome.

Theresa

The wonderful Theresa from Minneapolis, MN has been helping pet owners and their beloved pets around the world on Earth Clinic since 2013.

About Theresa

Theresa from Minneapolis was born and raised in the inner city, always wishing she had been raised on a farm.

Her love for creatures great and small began at an early age, starting with caterpillars - which continues to this day, along with an interest in all insects and 'creepy crawlies'.

Theresa's interest in pet health started with a bird keeping hobby at age 14, where she learned from another hobbyist that the simple addition of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) in a bird's drinking water kept fungal infections away; she was able to share this with her avian vet who in turn prescribed it to her own clients; Theresa was surprised to learn that she could teach her vet a thing or two. This important lesson - that each of us can be a teacher - was a turning point for Theresa, and  fueled  her quest for the knowledge held in lore,  and remedies passed by word of mouth. That quest for knowledge continues to this day, as new and old remedies alike are explored. She may not have experience with a particular issue, but she will research it to the best of her ability and share what she finds freely, in the hopes that you can heal or improve your pet's health.

Hey Joyce,

Yeasty smell is often related to a grain based diet. What are you feeding your GSD? Take a look at the ingredient panel on the food bag and if you see grains then it is time to upgrade to a grain free diet. Once a systemic yeast infection takes hold it will take time to eliminate. So first cut out the grains and treats with grains and food dyes to stop feeding the yeast. Then consider alkalizing your dog's drinking water, and also Ted's Borax protocol for dogs [also dosed in the water] to knock down the yeast in the GI tract. And to keep your girl comfortable, keep up the vinegar rinses, and also consider a dip in Ted's Mange Remedy once every 2 weeks or so.
