Vinegar at Bath Time Is Helpful
If your pooch has the itchies, no matter what the cause, bring out the vinegar at bath time. Its effective for treating skin disorders from dandruff to bacterial and yeast infections. Vinegar will soothe your dogs itch, help heal his skin and leave his coat soft and shiny.
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.
Hello and thank you for your question about Snoozie. Is Snoozie being treated by the veterinarian for the contact dermatitis? The vet can best answer your question but I do think that apple cider vinegar may be harsh on the skin; I would try an oatmeal bath with tepid to just slightly warm water (hot water can irritate). Grind 2 cups oatmeal and add to the bath. After bathing, rinse well and gently towel dry. The excess oatmeal can be brushed out once the fur is dry. As for frequency, I would ask your vet if they agree on the oatmeal bath, and how often they think the bath will help. Good luck with Snoozie!
Hi there, Uzi is sweet! I would use the apple cider vinegar rinse only occasionally. Some dogs will experience dry and irritated skin if a vinegar rinse is used too much. In my opinion, once or twice a month at the most, after using a veterinarian recommended shampoo. All the best with Uzi!
My dog had a continuous yeast infection between the pads of her feet and along with my veterinarian, I had tried antibiotic and topical treatments but it never quite went away. One day I tried a solution of Listerine and water. I mixed 1/2 cup of regular Listerine and to 1 1/2 cups of water and stored it in a sealed tub. Then twice daily I soaked her feet for about five minutes. I refreshed the solution every three days. Within two weeks the yeast infection had disappeared and has never returned. I told my veterinarian and he said the alcohol in the Listerine probably did the trick and he was going to recommend it to a few clients to try.
Hello, due to Babys age, I would recommend you take her to the vet. Fleas can cause problems as they are carriers of parasites and disease. It is very difficult to eradicate them from the home also, unless you have the proper products and advice to follow. Fleas reproduce quickly and the eggs hatch just about anywhere. The vet can help you solve this health issue quickly and with less discomfort to Baby. Be careful using anything like apple cider vinegar on such a young dog, to be on the safe side. We also have an option “ask a vet” here, if youd like to ask about it before talking with your own vet: https://wagwalking.com/wag-health. All the best to little Baby!
Is vinegar bath bad for dogs?
Many pet owners incorporate diluted apple cider or white vinegar into their dog’s diet and bathing regimens because of its claimed ability to heal, clean, and neutralize odors. However, administering vinegar to your pet is not considered an ideal solution to any health ailments or cleaning needs your pet may have.
