I have a 9-yr-old Plott Hound (100 lbs) who has been having recurring UTIs. Every time it's been off to the vet, then $250 later home with another bottle of antiobiotics. Once she's off the antibiotics, the UTI comes back.
I fortunately found this site and tried the ACV cure-- and it worked! I used 2T raw ACV ("with the mother) mixed with 2T organic plain yogurt, mixed w/food, 2x day. After the first dose she improved, and after 5 days now she seems completely cured! I will gradually step down the dosage and then keep her on 1x/week to keep things normal. I am SO thrilled that I found this website, thank you all!

When my 13 y/o schipperke showed symptoms of a UTI, I took her to the vet. $350 later we had a positive urinalisys, a bottle of antibiotics, and updated x-rays. When our other dog, a younger mixed breed of the same size started showing symptoms of a UTI, we didn't have the funds to go to the vet again. I put a teaspoon of ACV (B. Brand) in some soft food (a grain-free brand) and added it to her regular kibble, along with 1/4 of a cranberry tablet. She's been getting this twice a day for a few days now, and loves it. She licks up all the food, eats the pill, and has no more UTI symptoms. I've also been putting ACV in the schipperke's food as a preventative. Both dogs seem to love the taste!
Another tip: Wash all the dog dishes AND the dogs. UTI is most often caused by E. Coli, and that can come from a variety of sources. I don't know how my two little girls got it, but they both did. Maybe they ate something they shouldn't have, who knows?

My Puppy (black lab) of 2 monthes old had a uti and was put on an antibiotic. To make a long story short she ended up taking 3 different antibiotics and DL methionine. She is now 4 months old and after spending 575.00 on vet bills I tried the organic ACV and after 5 days had a special test called INDEXX urine culture and urinalysis. Just got a phone call from the vets office and they said the infection is gone. Now I don't know if it was because of the last antibiotic she was on but I believe the ACV worked. I gave Her 1teaspoon a day mixed with a tablespoon of plain yogurt mixed with her dog food. Now my little pee wee is well and I could'nt be happier.

Thank You for this website! After spending $400.00 ( in which I DO NOT HAVE) on tests and antibiotics 6 months ago. My 13 yr old dog once again was showing signs of bladder infection. The ACV treatment WORKED! Vets are so Important and Thank GOD they are there, But the truth is MANY of them are OVERPRICED and Unwilling to understand that Most people do Not have hundreds of dollars to spend on thier pets. Like $400.00 to find a bladder infection? REALLY?

Our 4 month old female choc lab was showing obvious signs of a UTI and not wanting to subject her to antibiotics and expensive lab tests, I chose to try the yogurt/ACV treatment and it totally worked! I gave her 1 tablespoon organic natural yogurt 1 tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar four times the first day, spaced out 4 hours, and I could tell by that first evening that it was working. I was so thrilled and so relieved! I continued it through the second day, just wanting to make sure the infection was gone. I am going to continue to give it to her once a day as a supplement to keep the UTI from coming back again. Natural, healthy supplements have to be better than drugs and antibiotics from the vet!

I read about apple cider vinegar( ACV) on this site, I have a small mini foxie, around 6kg, she was peeing or trying to pee, between 15-20 times on our daily walk, I figured it might be a bladder infection. I did call my vet and was told antibiotics, this was going to be a call out on a weekend of $195 antibiotics. Instead I thought I would try for 12 hours and see if indeed it works.
I used 1 teaspoon x 3 times a day and after 24 hours the peeing was 5 times on our walk instead of 15-20 the day before. The next day I continued same ACV and she was much better, temperature normal, peeing normal. The cost so far about 30C and no nasty chemicals! THANK YOU for this site! Spread the word.
Lacey's Mom (Honolulu, Hi ) on 03/14/2011:
Lacey recently had had another UTI (3rd in the past 18 months all due to grain heavy dog food). First two times we took her to the vet who gave meds then she had a yeast infection both times following the UTI meds. Both times I only gave her can food. The third time she had a UTI(Feburary 2011)we gave her 1/2 tsp ACV for three days by syringe & water then squirt it down her throat after she eats for three days straight. Remember to give your dog food before you administer ACV. I forgot to let her eat before we gave her the ACV and she regurgutated it. All the other times when we gave ACV she always had some food in the tummy & responded well with no problems.

My 3 year old Chocolate Lab (100lbs) started having a problem 2 days ago, she would have small accidents in the house which she never did and woke us up at 3:00 am needing to go out. We knew she had a bladder infection because she would go out and try to pee but nothing would happen, after finding this thread we gave her 2 tbl spoons of ACV mixed in with 2tbl spoons of non-flavored yogurt.
Well today she is back to her normal self this worked great for us, we will continue to give it to her for a couple of days just to make sure it has cleared up.
Thanks Too All!

My 14 yr. Old black lab is having a horrible time with kidney leakage. She weighs app. 100 lbs and yesterday we gave her apple cider vinegar but wasn't sure how much to give. I gave her app. 1 1/2 tablespoons and diluted with a little water ... She has been gagging since we gave her the ACV. What should I do????? I don't know if I should give her anymore of the ACV because she's still gagging and nothing comes up. She has plenty of water to drink ... But she only drinks when she wants to. How much and how can I give her the ACV? PLEASE ... I NEED HELP!! I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY BIG GIRL ... I KNOW IT'S INEVITABLE WE ALL HAVE TO DIE BUT I DON'T THINK I CAN MENTALLY HANDLE IT AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE. ANYONE WITH MORE INFORMATION ... PLEASE ... PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP. Sincerely needing help.

Worked Temporarily
Six months ago my darling baby Bobby had a UTI and the vet said if it recurred he would have to be put to sleep and I was devistated. I found this site and started to rub some fresh chicken every day in apple cider vinegar as well as adding a crushed cantharis tablet for cysitis in humans to the chicken. It worked a treat for six months, or so I thought, however, he was rushed to the vets today, once again with the same thing. He was lethargic and crying and could hardly walk. He is now on a drip for two days and I am worried sick. Is there anything else which I could try if he pulls through? I was so happy that it seemed to be working but it was not to be.
