Amount of Water Needed Comments By: ldb

Good tip... Yet how much water is efficient for the 1/4 cup of vinegar

TipKing says: I think that the tip is suggesting adding it to a good sized bowl of water, which must be around 2-3 pints

In drinking water....or bathing water Comments By: Stephanie Anderson (From Florida, USA)sexy

i was wondering about this tip for vinegar for pets fleas....i was awlays told to put vinegar in a spray bottle and apply to pets coat after bathing and rub in completely.... you are saying to put it in their drinking water? my animals are completely picky. if their water has a little dirt in it they will not drink it. they wouldnt touch their water for 2 days when i put the vinegar in it and when i finally washed the bowl and put plain water in it they were drinking water like i had never seen before.... what can i do im alittle confused. thank you

How much time? Comments By: Brittany (san francisco)

Starting yesterday, I use teaspoon of vinegar for every pint or so of my dog's water and she has yet to decline it. My question, though, is how long does it take for it to work? A few days/weeks/months?

Flea Treatment Comments By: Malcolm

A flea treatment I have always used on my dogs is to crush a clove of fresh garlic in one meal a week and mix it well in.

Never had a flea problem as yet in 15 years.

Garlic is poisonous to cats Comments By: Brooke

Don't ever give cats raw garlic. It may be an effective flea treatment for dogs, but garlic will cause anemia in cats and could eventually cause death.
