Safe
Diluted apple cider vinegar is safe in small amounts.
May help with skin health and digestion. Always dilute before use — never give undiluted. A teaspoon in water or food is sufficient. Avoid if dog has kidney disease.
Caution
Apple cider vinegar should be used cautiously with cats.
Highly acidic and can cause GI irritation. Never give undiluted. Very small diluted amounts may be tolerated but there's little benefit for cats.
