Ticks can live for long periods of time in bushes, as they can go a long time without feeding. When hiding in the bushes they can sense the heat of a nearby living animal and will jump pretty long distances to get to that animal, whether it be you or your dog. That is why it is best to keep a monthly Flea & Tick preventative such as Frontline or Advantix on your dog once a month, year around.

Will adding apple cider vinegar acv to a dogs drinking water kill ticks and fleas?

To answer your question, ACV has been used in repelling & killing ticks. I spray our yard with it to repel ticks, as they do not like the taste or smell. I also use about 1 teaspoon daily in my dogs water & even put some on a wet cloth and wipe him with it before he heads out in the yard. It has done wonders for keeping them at bay although you get that one or two but they are not attached so I would say Yes it works
