Apple Cider Vinegar

[johnmac666 2]

ive been using ACV for ages now, for the dogs spraying meat in summer it keeps the flies away & also the fleas

( diluted in drinking water makes their skin too acidic for fleas ), it also helps stop tear stains under eyes, what i want to know is would ferrets be able to accept/tolerate this in water ( diluted obviously) as we all know in summer flies thrive on meat left out for a few hours & ACV seems to keep them away, answers on a postcard please

Only way to know is put some in their water and see if it gets drunk,if it's diluted enough maybe they won't object to it,but would diluting it make it less effective?

i dilute 1 tbl sp in bowl of water for dogs & also in a spray bottle & seems effective enough diluted ,i forgot to say that its the original ACV with the "mother" in it

( cloudy unpasturised same stuff used for hens etc )

It's also supposed to be good for arthritis: I haven't used it in years but seeing this thread will have to give it a go again: dogs don't seem to mind the taste at all.

i use it everyday myself and always stick a nip into the dogs food, suppose to be a good general health tonic, will have to try the spray on the ferrets meat.

heard the unpasteurized variety has better health benifits
