Do you have rabbits, chickens or even horses than you will find this article useful?  With the use of vinegar you can help take care of your pets and keep them healthy and happy.  You will find that using vinegar to help take car of your pets will be easy and easy on the pocket.

We will start with the horses first so if you have horses or know someone who does this just maybe the solution you are looking for.  When owning horses we know that flies can be a common problem for them.  I always pitied my horses when the flies would swarm around and they would swing their tails to try and get them off or stomp their feet to shoo away the flies.  I found a cheap and very easy way in which to keep the flies away from my horses and this just might help you too.

I started to add one fourth of a cup of vinegar to the horses grain every day and this started to keep the flies away.  When the horses eat the grain mixed with vinegar its coat will take on a scent that is unpleasant to flies so they tend to keep their distant.  Now don’t fret this scent is not noticeable to you and will not bother your horses in fact my horse seemed happier and I know if he could of thanked me he would of as yours will too.  You will see a big difference in your horses behavior when you start to give your horse vinegar mixed with grain.

Caring for chickens are rather easy although they can get rather messy.  If you have chickens and often wonder how you can get the watering containers clean and free from mold then this is an article for you.  Keeping pets watering containers clean and free from mold is rather hard especially when it comes to chickens.  Cleaning these watering container have just gotten easy when using vinegar.  Simply soak the watering containers in warm or hot water and add some vinegar.

Let the watering containers soak for at least five minutes this will loosen any debris and will remove any mold that may start forming in the watering container.  After the watering container has soaked for five minutes simple remove from the water and spray with a hose to clean off.  This works well for chicken watering containers but as you can guess you will be able to use this with technique with any type of animal watering container system.

Last but not least caring for your rabbits, which is my favorite.  Rabbits are relatively easy animals to care for.  When you have children it seems almost natural to have pets so we selected to get rabbits since they are relatively easy to care for.  I found the hardest part of caring for our rabbits have been cleaning out the food and watering bottle.  Once the water has set in the bottle for longer than a day it seems to get slimy leaving it a spot for mold to grow.  We don’t want this to happen so with the help of cleaning it out with vinegar we can get rid of this problem and keep it from happening. 

A rabbits watering bottle is similar to the ones that you would use for hamsters, gerbils, birds and other small animals.  Just take the watering bottles and let soak in warm to hot water with vinegar added to it.  After soaking in the water mixture for about five minutes or longer rinse out several times with clean water.  The bottle is now clean and ready to fill back up and give to your pet.  I found that having two water bottles is useful since your pet would have to go without water while you are cleaning out the watering bottle but having two would eliminate your pet being without water.
