No, I do not recommend giving Joker apple cider vinegar. In healthy dogs, a small amount isn't going to cause any harm, but in dogs who currently aren't healthy, it can harmful effects. There also isn't any data that it's helpful to dogs who have bladder stones. As for the cranberry pills, again there's no proof they any beneficial effects on dogs and while it won't harm him, it won't help either. I would recommend making sure he drinks lots of water, and it's fine to add water to his food.
