How to Administer ACV in Food or Water

Instead of a water bowl we have one of those pet fountains. It has a charcoal filter in it. Will this make the apple cider vinegar ineffective?

The easiest way to give your cat ACV is to add it to its drinking water. If your cat usually drinks about one cup of water per day, I would begin adding l/4 to l/2 tsp to its drinking water (your cat might refuse to drink it if you put too much in it to begin with) and gradually increase it to about l tsp per day. If you get the desired result, hold it at that level, if not, you might add a wee bit more.

Apple Cider Vinegar for Cats. Joyce, thank you for the amounts of ACV to add to drinking water. We use a drinking fountain with a small charcoal filter for our kitties. Will the filter remove the curative properties of the ACV and baking soda? Also, will it do our younger cat any harm to drink the water when he doesn't have any urinary pH problems?

Response to Connie: The answer to the first is I see no problem with the younger cat drinking the same water with vinegar, and the answer to the second is that long time use of the vinegar in the water should not create any problem.
If you can find a copy of Dr. Jarvis' Home Remedies, he states that adding vinegar to the drinking water of many farm animals is beneficial, including the two legged ones (chickens, ducks, humans, etc.)

Regarding acv and cats...I have never seen our cat drink water although we have provided it....she lives exclusively 100% on wild rabbit so I think that she obtains all liquid necessay this way. She is heavy and has a GLORIOUS coat and condition.
