Very often, particular dogs and just some breeds in general are highly prone to allergic reactions and infections. This darling creature you're about to meet is no different, and she has been afflicted with such things for her whole life. To try and remedy the situation, her very caring owner filmed a video tutorial that shows how you can effectively alleviate a canine's itchy ears by cleaning what he calls "the funk" out with apple cider vinegar.

Apple cider vinegar has a multitude of uses, many of which involve naturopathic remedies, not only for humans, but evidently dogs too. Among its many uses, apple cider vinegar can treat bacterial and fungal infections, work to tone skin and clear blemishes, alleviate itching, aid in sunburn relief, and treat those irritating ear infections.

Candida is the annoying culprit behind these yeast-based ear infections in dogs. Particularly, it's an overgrowth of bad gastrointestinal bacteria that causes the yeast infection, which is often detected in the ears and on the paws.

In case you have a little loved one who suffers from this problem, or just want to keep the recipe under your hat for a rainy day, here's how you treat canine ear infections with apple cider vinegar:
Mix together equal parts apple cider vinegar and distilled water a 50/50 ratio works best.
Use a syringe or dropper to put about 10 drops of solution into your dog's ear without ever actually placing the chosen device into the ear canal.
Gently rub the ear in a circular motion, changing directions intermittently.
Remove your hand and allow your dog to shake their head.
Please note: Never attempt a DIY treatment (this one included) on your pet without first consulting with your vet. Every pet is different and has unique needs (obviously, and that's why they're so wonderful!). Lastly, do not attempt this treatment if your dog has perforated or punctured eardrums.
