I have found a few posts on other sites indicating that putting a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar in a dog's water dish one a week will help keep mosquitoes, fleas and ticks from biting your dogs.
Has anyone here had any direct experience positive/negative/neutral with this 'home remedy'?
We already use prescription Flea and Tick preventative. I am just wondering if there is anything else I can do to keep the nuisances away from my buddies.

Nice find, Connie.
It does say in the introduction that it can be added to pet's food, and later, the article states that it can be used for the same types of nutritional benefits as used for humans. It's possible that some old-timmers used it for something dietary and found that it helped with the fleas.
Either way, as a dietary aid it sounds like it can't hurt, and there may be some add'l benefit. HOWEVER, unless other research is forthcoming, I wouldn't count on it as a sole option for pest prevention, especially in the kind of summer that we're about to have.
