Where to buy ingredients

Diluted ACV on a dog's coat is a traditional tonic that many owners find reduces mild itch and makes the coat less appealing to fleas. It is not a flea treatment — use your vet's prevention — but it's a helpful adjunct for healthy skin.

Method

  1. 1

    Combine. Shake.

How to use

  • Spray onto the coat (avoiding eyes, nose and any broken skin), rub in against the fur, let dry. After walks or twice weekly.

Safety

  • Stings on broken skin — never on hot spots or wounds.
  • Not for cats as a spray; they groom it off and dislike it.
