Step 1
Apple cider vinegar has so many uses that you should make sure you always have a bottle of it in your house. A common problem for many dog owners is poor appetite. Depending on your dog's size you can add ACV to your dog's food. For a 50 lb. dog a teaspoon twice a day is very helpful. You can increase or decrease the amount depending on the size of your dog.

Step 2
ACV is also great for dogs that are suffering from kennel cough. A teaspoon in your dog's food twice a day can be very helpful. It is also good for dogs that have watery eyes or discharge from their nose.

Step 3
If your dog has bad dandruff you can use ACV to help with this. Put your dog in the bathtub and pour about a half a bottle of ACV on your dog. Work it into your dog's coat and leave it on for about 5 minutes. After the 5 minutes, rinse and give your dog a bath and use a good conditioner.

Step 4
ACV is great for hot spots. Put some ACV in a spray bottle and spray it directly on the area. If the hot spot is really raw, dilute the ACV with some water.

Step 5
ACV can also be used on dogs that have chronic ear problems. Dilute a little ACV with water, dip a cotton ball in the solution and swap the inside of your dog's ears.
