How to Bathe a Dog in Apple Cider Vinegar

You do not have to visit pet stores for expensive shampoos and flea repellants. Apple cider vinegar has many properties used for washing, refreshing, relieving hotspots, soothing dry, itchy skin, and even to stop your dog from licking his skin or paws incessantly. In the bath or out of the bath, apple cider vinegar can also be used to clean out your dog’s ears and help prevent or assist in healing a yeast infection. Giving your dog an apple cider bath is easy to do and can benefit your dog externally as well as internally. When used in the water or even a spray bottle, apple cider vinegar can also help to repel fleas.

The soothing enzymes in apple cider vinegar can provide comfort for your dog’s skin unless the skin is broken. If your dog has irritated hot spots or itchy flea bites that are open, dilute the apple cider vinegar to avoid a stinging sensation. Also, remember a treat or two never hurt during or after a much-needed bath. 

• Apple cider vinegar has many benefits and can be added to food and water for internal use as well.
• Apple cider vinegar is all natural and contains tannins, digestive aids, and enzymes good for a number of ailments.
• If your dog has hot spots or open scratches or sores from itching or wounds, dilute the apple cider vinegar to avoid the feeling of stinging for your pup.
• You can also fill a glass spray bottle with apple cider vinegar and water to spot clean small areas of your dog’s skin. This can help with irritated areas your dog licks constantly or to spray paws to keep the dog from licking.
• Apple cider vinegar can relieve itching when used in baths or in a spray bottle. If your dog is battling dry or itchy skin, apple cider baths can soothe that itch and also fight the itch by healing the skin or helping rid the skin of whatever is causing discomfort.
• You can pour apple cider vinegar and water onto a paper towel or soft cloth and use it to clean out your dog’s ears. Apple cider vinegar ear washes help to rid your dog of yeast infections.

Don’t worry about fleas, stench, or dry, itching skin. Use nature’s cureall to give your pup a paw-tastic apple cider vinegar bath that won’t irritate the skin like chemical shampoos can. Rinse off the vinegar smell and get rid of the fleas in your pup’s coat. You’ll have a happy dog who gives you a round of a-paws for your love and care.
