While vinegar has been used for thousands of years, it's not recommended for dogs due to its high acidity and potential for gastrointestinal upset.
Despite some studies suggesting potential benefits for humans, there's no scientific evidence supporting its use for dogs.
Vinegar's acidity can irritate a dog's mouth and throat, and it offers minimal nutritional value, potentially discouraging water consumption.
Additionally, some vinegars contain ethanol, a toxic substance for dogs, and all vinegars may contain residual alcohol, making them unsuitable for canine consumption.
