What I gave her: I started with two tablespoons of ACV, and first tried mixing all of it with some food, but she took one sniff and was having none of it. So I resorted to the direct delivery option with a plastic syringe we have in the house. Since my wife was away, it was just me doing this, and it's not an option I'd recommend for entertainment - it wasn't fun for either of us! I later mixed another tablespoon in with some dry food, some yoghurt and some meat, and she loved the meat so much she ate everything. I don't know if the yoghurt was necessary, but whatever I did worked.
Anyway, thanks again to all who contributed.

I took our black lab to the veternarian several times and they ran urine samples to verify that our dog had a bladder infection and not something else.They also examined the dog to make sure he did not have anything else.The verternarian recommended a dosage of a anti biotic which lasted two weeks each time. During the period of while he was on the medication he was fine but after he got off the medication he went back to having problems and having the same symptoms. He would stand by the door crying at 3:00AM in the morning, he was always restless,and he could never stay in one spot for a long time. A week ago I gave my dog three table spoons of organic apple cider vinegar and I placed it in his food dish and would spread it around, then I gave him two spoonfuls of plain organic yogurt, and then a small portion of his dried food. I will feed my dog in the morning at 8:00AM then in the evening at 5:30PM. Since doing this his symptons have stopped, he is sleeping through the night, and he is no longer restless. He is also not urinating as much.It is working.

I am a strong believer in Holistic food for all my babies( they have been on this kind of food since they were 2 months old) -a little more $$$ on the initial purchase versus regular pet food but on a long run, it pays since it cuts down on the Vet's visit. Your site has been a GREAT help to me & my Snowie and you can add me & my 4 " furries" as other fans in your club. AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Ouf! Ouf! Ouf!

ACV works! I too, just paid a large vet bill last month. When my 11 year old lab woke me up at 3am sunday, did the dry pee dance on our morning walk, bloody urine in the house, along with the whining, & pacing and going to the door to go out every 5 mins, I took a chance & googled and found this site. I read what everyone else had to say and gave her 1 TBSP of Heinz ACV mixed with 2 TBSP of yogurt last night. I was amazed at how quickly her behavior changed. She settled down almost immediately, sleep comfortably all night and urinated normally the next morning. Since she gets feed 1 time a day, I mixed 1 TBSP of ACV in her dry food in the morning and gave her the yogurt ACV mixture that same night and she seems fine. I will probably cut back to just once a day for the rest of the week and then maybe every other day for a while.
I am so thankful for this site, saved me lots of $ and heartache.
Now if I could just find a remedy to shrink or aliviate those fatty tumors...
Thanks again!

On Monday the 29th we had our 5 month old great dane neutered. On Tuesday he started peeing blood, I called the vet and he said to push fluid. we pushed fluid and he continued to be peeing blood, having accidents in the house. Peeing every 5 minutes, took him back to the vet that did the surgery, tested urine and they said it had blood in it and PH 7.5. sold us pills to help decrease the ph. Told us to come back in two days if not better.
I came across this site and tried the acv with yogart.He went 3 hours with out having accident. We actually have pull ups on him because he is so incontinent. I have still been giving him 1.5 teaspoons of ACV with yogart today and notice that he is still peeing blood, and is wetting his pull ups. he weights 84 lbs.Does anyone know if that is enough ACV. I am worried, He was not inc prior to surgery. How long will it take to clear this up. He is also on ATB clavomax.

I am 110% convinced that the ACV treatment works! Highly recommend to everyone who has dogs with bladder infections. However - I used the regular Heinz brand rather than organic since the organic seemed too strong for my 16 year old dog. I am curious to the muscle testing? What is it and how is it done?

Dear Valerie from Minneapolis,
I had a male chocolate lab that had the same problem. I thought it was a botched fixing, but it wasn't. He would leak urine on occasion that was bloody and I took him to the vet, but he found nothing. I finally saw a new vet and x-rays revealed a tumor. It was too big and we lost him. Please consider seeing a vet and make sure all is clear before relying on it just being a bladder infection. I am all for homeopathy, but make sure it isn't something else!!!

I just want to let you all know that I started the ACV on 12/22/08 and my old boy is absolutely more active and back to his old self. He has however had a few "accidents" but not as many as before and I will continue the ACV for a few more days. He did sleep much better the very first night and the panting and most of the pacing has stopped. It seems to be working.... keep praying for "Mr. Whiffer Sniffers".
My husband has also agreed that he looks much better and that my boy is back to his old self. If Mr. Sniffers can completely stop the accidents, I will swear by this treatment, but it has only been 1 1/2 days so far with the treatment.
Good luck to everybody with their dogs. Unfortuntely, they cannot talk and let us know how they feel.

I am very nervous because the last times there was blood in the urine as now but she never bleeds as much than now! I would say that it look like she can loose like 1/4 of a cup in a good walk! Well it is winter here and maybe it is more visible with the snow but I am very nervous. She doesn't look in pain and doesn't ask for the door either.
All the post here talk about blood in the urine but is anyone experience as much blood as me? I have to wash her everytime we come back from outside!!! well I will try tonight this ACV and I will let you know guys but in the mean time please let me know if you have seen anything like that.
Thanks to everyone,

For my beagle I had to separate the food. For her, the smell of vinegar was just too strong. By separating the food the smell concentration was weakened and she was able to get close enough to the food to eat it. In the beginning I had to literally put the food pieces by her piece by piece. I hope this helps.

I wrote before but this time things have changed! I got a second opinion from another vet and voila that it is not a urine infection but a bleeding from the bladder wall!!! Is that possible? The vet told me the the red cells were 6 to 10 but the white cells were over 100!!! but no trace of bacteria in the bladder!!! (but this time the sample has been taking dirctly from the bladder with a needle) what should I do? get a third opinion or pay a fortune ($600) with the ultrasound just to know what it is? Then pay for the treatement!!!!!! Please let me know someone, really don't know what to do anymore!!!

Round 2...We lowered the ACV down to 1 teaspoon in her food, but she would have none of it. Tried her water with 1 teaspoon...She just avoided the water to the point of dehydration. Is there something I could mix into her food that would hide the harsh taste? I think it would work, but I can't starve her into taking it while she's still in her major growth stage of her life. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
EC: Please read the acv for cats feedback. Some great ideas on that page...

I have a 3.5 yr old German shepherd and I give her boiled chicken livers in her food. The chicken livers have a very strong odor and will overwhelm the apple cider. Also the livers are very strong in iron and therefore healthy for our dogs. Good luck!

i can get to the grocery store tomorrow and get some actual liquid acv, but on hand i have some 500 mg capsules. i'm just not sure if they would do anything. i figured taking 2 is like taking 2 tbls. maybe i could mix 1/2 in his water dish. if it would work. if anyone had some imput. it would be greatly appreciated.

From what I've read, apple cider vinegar pills aren't as healthy or effective as the liquid. I would personally just use the liquid, organic if possible. God only knows what they put in those pills!
