Soothes itchy ears. Diluting apple cider vinegar with 50 percent water provides a solution for a common dog problem: itchy ears. Just use a cotton swab or gauze pad soaked in the diluted vinegar. If itchy ears continue, your dog may be allergic to something in his diet.
If your dogâs eardrum is intact, begin the vinegar ear treatment. Apple cider vinegar is best, but may stain white or light-colored fur. If your dog is white or light-colored, you may want to use distilled white vinegar. First, make a mixture of half vinegar and half water and place in a squirt bottle. (Make sure you use a squirt bottle, not a spray bottle.) Next, completely fill your dogâs ear canal with the mixture. Be careful not to let the solution get into your dogâs eyes. Gently massage the base of our dogâs ear.
