Internal Use of Apple Cider Vinegar for UTI Apple cider vinegar is an easy, inexpensive natural remedy for bladder infections in dogs. When using apple cider vinegar for medicinal purposes, you should use raw and organic apple cider vinegar. However, in a pinch, you can use regular apple cider vinegar, often with good results as well. Apple cider vinegar can be mixed with a dog's regular food, plain yogurt, or added to drinking water. This page will give dosing instructions for this remedy.
Topical Use of Apple Cider Vinegar for UTI Not every dog will readily accept apple cider vinegar internally.

Colloidal Silver Colloidal Silver is a natural antibiotic and easy to give to most dogs because it is tasteless. You can add it to your dog's food or water or you can give it to them with a syringe. Use 1 teaspoon four times a day for a small dog, 2 teaspoons four times a day for medium dogs and 3 teaspoons 4 times a day for large dogs. You can double the dose if it does not seem to be working. Puppies can have this remedy as well. Use ¼ to ½ teaspoon four times a day. A dog cannot overdose on colloidal silver; it is better to give more than is needed than not enough.
Herbs for Urinary Tract Infections in Dogs Cranberry Cranberry capsules can be given to dogs twice a day. You can hide them in peanut butter or cream cheese. Some dogs will even tolerate the powder from the capsules emptied out and mixed into their food. Give large dogs 2 -3 capsules twice a day. Give medium dogs 1-2 capsules twice a day. Give small dogs 1 capsule a day (or if you empty the capsule out to mix with food, give ½ of the contents twice a day.) Cornsilk If you can find cornsilk tea or tincture, this is a mild tasting but effective herb for bladder infections in dogs. For large dogs, give 1 – 2 droppers full twice a day of the tincture, or 2 cups of the tea. (You can try giving it in place of water in his bowl.) For medium dogs, give ½ - 1 dropper full twice a day or 1 cup of the tea. For small dogs, give ¼ dropper full twice a day or ½ cup of the tea. D-Mannose D-Mannose is a tasteless powder that can be mixed with food. This works well for pets and is easy to dose. It is given once or twice a day. Large dogs will need 1 teaspoon twice daily. Medium sized dogs will need ½ teaspoon twice daily. Small dogs will need ¼ teaspoon twice daily. What About Puppies and Bladder Infections? The above remedies are appropriate for puppies as well. Depending on the size of your puppy, you can give the dose recommended for small dogs. Or if your puppy is very small, cut the recommended small dog dose in half or less. Warnings If the above remedies are not working for your pet or your pet seems worse, you should get an opinion from a reputable veterinarian to make sure there is not something more serious going on.

Allergies Apple cider vinegar is our most natural popular remedy for allergies in dogs and cats. Apple cider vinegar can be used for pets in a number of ways, depending upon the nature of the allergy symptoms in your pet. Apple Cider Vinegar Spray Mix 1/2 cup raw and organic apple cider vinegar and 1/2 cup of water in a spray bottle. Spray affected areas of your pet with this solution twice a day, or more often as needed to relieve itching. If your dog or cat has broken skin, use only 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar and 3/4 cup of water at first to make sure the solution does not bother your pet. Apple Cider Vinegar in the Ears Mix 1/2 cup raw and organic apple cider vinegar and 1/2 cup water in a jar. Use a cotton ball to clean out your pet's ears with this solution. If skin in the ear is broken, use 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar and 3/4 cup water. This solution has helped many pets with itchy ears! Apple Cider Vinegar Internally Apple cider vinegar can be added to your pet's food or water to relieve a systemic allergy problem. Start with 1 teaspoon daily for a 50 pound dog. Increase to 1 tablespoon daily if needed. Adjust the amount you give according to the weight of the dog. A small dog - 10 pounds or so will only need a scant 1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar once or twice a day. A very large dog, over 100 pounds, may need one or two tablespoons once or twice a day. Apple Cider Vinegar Bath You can give your dog or cat a bath to which apple cider vinegar has been added. Add one or two cups per bath. If pollen is the cause of your pet's allergies, a regular bath will help to remove excess pollen and irritation for your pet.
