Apple Cider Vinegar

I prefer Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar over a number of ACV in local market. It is contains certified Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (USDA). It is unfiltered, unheated, unpasteurized and with 5% acidity. I believe many vitamins, minerals and other nutrients and substances are available in ACV to improve the health of your dog.

"ACV can provide them with enzymes and important minerals, such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, chlorine, phosphorus, iron, silicon and other trace minerals."
"The vitamins contained in ACV are bioflavonoids (vitamin P), beta-carotene (precursor to vitamin A), vitamin C, E, B1, B2, and B6. Tannins from the crushed cell walls of fresh apples as well as malic acid, tartaric acid, propionic acid, acetic acid and pectin (fiber) are also contained in ACV."
