I would not advise using Apple Cider Vinegar for a bath. This is not safe because it will severely dry out your pets skin. I would recommend using regular flea/tick shampoo and then get Arjun on a flea/tick preventative such as Bravecto, Nexgard, or Advantix. I would also advise to get some tweezers and picking off any ticks that you see. You should watch a youtube video on how to properly remove a tick, because you have to ensre to get the head of the tick too. Best of luck moving forward with yoru pet Arjun and I hope that you get a handle on your tick problem soon. Take care! : )
