My 14 year old pom has long hair which sometimes gets poop on her tail, which in turn causes a urinary tract infection. She was peeing with blood, frequent puddles all over. I looked on your web site and came across the apple cider vinegar remedy. I diluted it 1 tsp. ACV and 1 tsp water. Gave her some every couple hours until gone. Also diluted 50/50 ACV and water. Put it on all four paw pads with a cotton ball for a total of 3x. 24 hours later, she's peeing normal. No excess peeing and no smelly urine. Blood is also gone. Worked like a charm. She's feeling so much better. Great remedy 👏

I used ACV for my spayed 11 year old pittie - 2 tablespoons- one in am & 1 in pm. Amazing results! She slept thru the nite just like she used to, after 5 nites of getting up at 2 3 4 5 am with 6 pee success & nothing coming out each time. I am a believer. I will give a couple more days then see. Good luck pet lovers!

One of my dogs got a bladder infection last week and there was a little bit of blood. I popped on Earth Clinic to see what everyone suggested. Over 50 people suggested ACV so I immediately applied a 50/50 solution of organic ACV and water and: wiped it on her paw pads, the scruff of the neck, and later gave 2 teaspoons in her dinner. She went from peeing every hour back to normal peeing intervals within an hour or two. Highly recommend. I gave her another 2 teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar once a day for the next few days.

There's a reason Apple Cider Vinegar is the most popular remedy for bladder infections in dogs, cats and people! It really works fast.

This isn't a review but I was looking for help/advice. I noticed a week ago that on a long walk, her pee started out fine but throughout, she would squat and dribble pee. The pee was sometimes cloudy, sometimes clear, I think somewhat pink at times. Not like her to mark so many times (girl). I assumed UTI. I tried something I bought on Amazon with good reviews. I may have been inpatient and stopped and started using ACV (about 2 TBSP mixed with 3TBSP of organic beef broth). It's been about day 3 of using ACV and noticed a slightly less peeing on a 40 minute walk today. (about 6 times in total... didn't notice pink but these things are always so hard to see! ) I was wondering how long it took for people to notice a change. She isn't straining to pee. I do notice she is drinking a little more water than normal. Last night I felt a wet puddle spot on the rug. It didn't smell like pee or had any color to it so I'm not sure. I am doing my best to take her out as often as I can as I'm sure that is helpful to getting any bacteria out. I hope I'm doing this right. I will take her to the vet to do a culture test if I have to but would prefer not to put her on clavamox. Another thing I noticed today was that she had diarrhea. Could this be from too much acidity in her stomach? thank you in advance. (her recent bloodwork in January was normal)

I am so happy I ran to this page. My 4 month old puppy suddenly couldnt hold her peeing - she wet her own bed three times. Since it was saturday evening, I couldnt take her to vet and started googling and found ACV helped some of you. I decided to get some ACV and yougurt first thing next morning and try giving it to her. So next morning I gave her ACV - she wouldn't eat it mixed with yougourth though. So I mixed one teaspoon to her food and added some pork fat with it - she cant resist that. So she ate that and I repeated treatment at noon and evening. In the evening she felt a looot better and next morning she was like a new dog. No signs of any illness. So I am very grateful to those who posted this cure. It also saved me trip to vet.

Your Website and the Pet Video Apple Cider Vinegar for UTIs in Dogs, Cats, etc truly came to our rescue Friday night. My husband and I have 2 dogs. Our 6 year old, 75 Lb Shepard Ratwiler mix, by accident, one came into contact with a toxic bug spray in the face Friday. By evening she displayed symptoms of a UTI. Frequent urination, then 10-12 attempts at urination immediately following; a fever and accelerated breathing rate. By midnight, we knew we were in trouble. Your Website article 11 Ways to Heal Dog UTIs and the Video Apple Cider Vinegar for UTIs in Dogs, especially the how to apply to the Paws in a bowl of water, was a dream come true! The next morning we gave her a warm bath, Apple Cider Vinegar with blueberries in water with her grain free food and by afternoon she was almost her old self again. No VET, No $Hundreds of $Dollars and No Antibiotics! Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!

I have been giving my 12 lb min pin 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar mixed w/tsp lowfat greek vanilla yogurt and peanut butter for about 3 days now. She had tested positive for a uti but with no signs of blood, just leaking on us and pet beds. Antibiotics worked at first but 2 days later was still leaking. After 3 days with Apple Cider Vinegar am and pm she's acting like old self again. You would never know she's 12. So how long should I continue giving her acv? Or is this a good health balancing thing to continue

I'm beside myself because my Speed Racer has a UTI, 103.5 temp and won't eat. I did just see him drink water with his paw. Went to the vet last night, $400 later. He has an oral antibiotic and a product called Rebound (also orally); however he keeps vomiting. Worried that his meds won't help I ran to GNC and bought the ACV wth the Mother. Gave him the emergency dose of 5ml. He spit a little up because it does taste nasty (I tried it). I also added a little honey to it. Anyway, he seems okay now, but only time will tell. I will keep you all posted and a big THANK YOU for this site and recommendations!

My dog seemed to have a UTI or bladder infection (frequent urination, blood in the urine, etc.) Of course, these symptoms show at the start of a major blizzard...4' of snow and no plow on our road for 3 days. Needless to say, we could not get to the vet. Desperate, I searched for home remedies and found this site. Used 1 teaspoon of organic ACV twice a day. NO more signs of blood after first day, less frequent urine after day 2, totally back to normal by day 3. Thank you!

Our poodle mix Lola is experiencing a UTI that started last night. I just gave her some organic ACV mixed it in with about 4 oz of raw goats milk. Hollywood Feed and other holistic based stores will carry it. I'll see if it works for her. I can tell she's in pain and she's shaking. Her tail is between her legs as if she's quite uncomfortable. I fed it to her the last time she had a UTI along with the meds the vet gave me. She sprung back to herself within a few days. I'm hoping this works. The vet's bill was outrageous for the diagnosis.
