The vinegar I use is distilled white vinegar. I have never had any
problems with it, but it is acidic and could easily burn the skin,
especially if the animal is raw. I did use it on only a small area at
first to see if would burn them, but they didn't have any problems. I
know many people who use it as a natural insect repellant without any
problems. Every animal is different and anything is possible. If you
decide to try it I agree that a test on a small area first is wise. Also
I do recommend white distilled vinegar. The apple cider vinegar has a
lot of impurities in it.
