So the general consensus is - tough!! Bought Dog Rocks but they dont seem to be helping!  Any other ideas....will keep the cider vinegar stored and by when next at asda/tesco


I tried Cider Vinegar, The dogs wouldn't drink the water with it in, even tho it was just a teaspoon in a big owl  :shades:

Have you tried using a different bird?!  :005:

 :005:   Bowl Sav

My Bs not working on my keyboard unless I give a thump  :shades:

Mine does that sometimes, it's a right astard.

People laugh at me because I'm different, but I laugh at them because they are all the same.

we have found that dog rocks works for us.          they share a water bowl and we put new dog rocks in every 5 weeks.

the improvment is great.  we have no burn marks at all!

however....bianca kicks up clumps of grass every time she wees - so we might not have burn marks, but we have clumps missing all over, and she brings the bits of grass and soil into the house!


ps - i now buy my dog rocks from a guy off e-bay at much less than the pet shops or direct from dog rocks themselves.
with lots of love from silly milly and her mum!!!!

Re: apple cider vinegar (acv), the stuff sold in supermarkets is human grade very refined & the stuff sold for horses in equine supply places is what you should be using but as mentioned animals can be often be put off by the smell/taste of it once added to drinking water.
Amongst other benefits it is also claimed to lower gut PH levels making the gut uninhabitable to some internal parasites.

I find not letting the dogs pee on the grass a great help ;)  They're only allowed to go on the gravel which is sectioned off for them.
