The benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar for your pet!
It all begins with an idea.
Does your dog or cat lick their fur or scratch and you can’t figure out why they do it all the time? As we know Apple Cider Vinegar has many benefits from cleaning household items to taking it internally for humans, but did you know it also has benefits for dogs and cats? Here is a list of benefits you will want to know for next time when your pet is constantly scratching and licking their fur.
Natural flea killer
As we know Apple Cider Vinegar is very acidic and creates an alkaline environment, increasing the PH levels. This repels bacteria and viruses like in humans and repels fleas in pets.
Natural ear cleaner
ACV is a very good antibacterial for many things including your dog or cat's ears. It rids bacteria that could be living on your pet's skin and is completely safe on the ears.
Coat treatments
Let’s say your dog or cat doesn’t have any skin conditions well ACV is still great for the skin and fur. It keeps the coat looking nice and shiny, bringing it back to life. It prevents the coat from shedding dander as well.
Preventing UTI’’s
ACV has antiseptic and antibacterial properties that make it effective at preventing infections including UTIs. This is especially great for dogs more prone to urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Digestive Health
Apple Cider Vinegar like we said creates an alkaline environment and so therefore helps to digest food. It is recommended to put a little bit of ACV in your dog or cat's water to aid in digestion.
Note: When giving your pet ACV it is best to mix 50/50 of ACV and water when taking it internally. From personal experience, I noticed it is better for intake purposes as it is less harsh on the stomach.
