Have you tried a raw food diet? Make sure you give him an appropriate, *balanced* diet, or try a pre-made raw product available at finer pet stores (Balance, Stella & Chewy's, Nature's Variety). Our dog barely ate a thing until we switched. Now, not only does he love his food, but he'll eat snacks, and he's just healthier all-around.

I have used ACV successfully for one of my cat's UTI's and general urinary tract health. Very effective every time. I use one quarter tsp. in food. Now will add one half tsp to water.
