In this video @MarcSmithveterinarian shares a simple and cost-effective solution for #dogowners dealing with common ear problems in their #dogs.
Many dogs in #MiddleTennessee experience ear issues due to allergies, resulting in symptoms like head shaking and black discharge.
#Petowners can treat this at home with a 1:1 or 2 water to 1 ACV ratio of #applecidervinegar and water, a natural alternative to expensive ear washes.
Please review this blog post, it has more detail on how to treat your dog’s ears. https://franklintnvet.com/apple-cider-vinegar-home-remedy-for-dog-ear-infection/.
Using Clyde as his subject, Dr. Smith emphasizes the ease and affordability of this solution, encouraging pet owners to keep their dogs’ ears clean and combat yeast infections caused by #allergies.
The straightforward method is shown to be well-tolerated by dogs and is a practical way to address common canine ear issues at home.

We just put this in our lab pup’s ear. He is still shaking his head beyond the couple of times suggested. Is this normal?
Great way to cause an ear infection right there.. all it takes is a single drop in a bad spot to cause issues. I’m shocked any vet would advise to perform this on their own pet, so careless!
You should NEVER POUR ANYTHING IN YOUR DOGS EARS!!!!
Use a swab to gentle clean it. You could damage the ears and cause terrible issues with the dogs health!
Thank you. Worked really well. appreciated!
I pack a couple cotton balls in the ear before I squirt the solution in. That way my dog doesn’t try to eat me. Makes it way more comfortable for both of us.
Thank you
What is the ratio of water to apple cider vinegar? I’m a Texas girl with a German Shepherd who won’t quit itching his ears. I really hope this works! Thanks from Scout & Dena ❤
Thank you for your advice
What’s the ratio mix
Yeah he gives this advice and guess where people will follow up when it causes an infection? That’s going to cost a lot more than a $25 ear wash.

What do you suggest for perfume? I despise the smell of ACV lol! Are essential oils safe? My ECGR is super uncomfortable these days!
can u use tap water
Imma thank you for it! 🙏
I’m sure this has been asked and answered, but I didn’t see the answer anywhere! How much apple cider vinegar and how much water? Half and half? I hope this helps! I give my guy Benedryl but it a lot of negative side effects. Thanks!!
My dog has some redness on the exterior portion of the inner ear, and is shaking his head. I assume this is the outer infection I have read about probably.
This would be the way to deal with this I assume or should I be taking it to a vet?
It wasn’t red a few days ago so it’s fresh, but he is experiencing discomfort.
Will that work on their feet also
This works.
Alls you gotta do! Love it so much. I had graduated college before I learned Alls isn’t a word. I argued with my mom forever & now I LOVE it when I hear it. But YES. Thanks for the ear tips, the Alls was just fun.🫶🏼
I’m glad I found this channel. Was wandering, can I use distilled vinegar?
Thank you from Pensacola,fla nala will be very happy❤
Did I miss the ratio or did you go 50/ 50?
Thank you
Will apple cider and vinegar help a yorkie that has been having chronic ear infections for years? If so, how many drops should I put in the ear and for how long? And is it just apple cider and vinegar only? Thanks
Doodle has been driving us crazy farm spray is a fail…thanks!
Use 1:1 Ratio Water to Apple Cider Vinegar
Will this dry quickly, even diluted with water? I’m wondering if it can be used after a bath, in case water got in his ears. Thank you!
Thank you from Scotland.
How often do you recommend to do this? I put a couple of drops in my dog’s ear and wiped it and she enjoyed the experience 😊thank you!
Thanks old buddy
What are the ratios of vinegar/water please?
I drank this 6 months ago and haven’t had any itching problems 🤷🤔🤦❤️
Dear Doctor, I am vet, I really appreciate your tip, congratulations and best regards
Can I put this in their water or food because my dog won’t let me touch their ear
What are these bottles called? I’m trying to find a similar one that’s pointy so I can put it right in the ear
Clyde is a great name for a Southern dog ❤
Thank you for your help today 😊
It would be nice to know how much water and how much apple cider vinegar
My dogs ear is already red and raw in some places, is it still safe to use the vinegar when she’s at that point of having raw spots ?
Thank you from Bermuda, a very humid island – My Doberman with long ears has had many times itchy ears and your remedy has been saving me hundreds of bucks as the visit alone is $100.00 and the meds about $50.00 f (everything imported)- my girl is so relieved !
Does the apple cider vinegar kill bacteria in the ear or is it just for yeast infection?
ratio of water to apple cider vinegar?!? What kind of
Thank you! We have an itchy ear today so this is what we’ll try
Thank you Dr Smith for making this very simple ❤🎉
Thank you. My dog has itchy ears but are clean besides normal wax and he loves it when I rub his ears especially where the canal is. I can tell something is bothering him. I’ll give this a try. ❤
Great video mate
