More Health Benefits Of Apple Cider Vinegar... This Time For Dogs!

We know that apple cider vinegar is a gem when it comes to health and well-being. But did you know that apple cider vinegar can be helpful for your dog's well-being as well? Here are some ways apple cider vinegar can be helpful for your furbaby.

• It Helps With Digestion And Gas: Likewise with humans, apple cider vinegar can aide with digestion for dogs. It can also relieve gas in dogs. Use a tablespoon in a food mixture, namely yogurt, to help with your dog's digestion.
• It Helps Your Dog's Muscles: Apple cider vinegar can also help your dog with their muscles, especially elderly dogs. You can reapply apple cider vinegar on a sponge daily to help the bruises go away. For older dogs, apple cider vinegar can help soothe arthritis pains.
  
• It Helps With Your Dog's Skin And Paws: Dogs will try and get fleas off of them by scratching them off. Apple cider vinegar won't get rid of the fleas, therefore you should still see a vet about this problem. But it is a good flea repellent. Apple cider vinegar is also good for relieving dry, itchy skin and relieving pain in your dog's paws. Use a mixture with half water and half apple cider vinegar and soak your dog's paw for 4-5 minutes (do not rinse).
  
• It Helps Your Dog's Oral Health: Yes, there are numerous chew toys that can help strengthen your dog's teeth. However, apple cider vinegar has plenty of bacteria fighting enzymes that prevent tooth decay in dogs and helps combat bad breath in dogs.
  

Dosage will vary by size; dogs less than 50 pounds will require a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar for certain ailments, while bigger dogs will require a tablespoon.
