I suspect the reason there is vinegar in it has to do with treating the cause of the smell. Most times when the ears and feet of a dog smell it is caused by some sort of bacteria and the pure cider vinegar with the mother in it  is a natural source of getting rid of the bacteria and much healthier for dogs then chemicals. That is also what can cause itching in a dog, thus the reason we use the vinegar rinse. It is also excellent for rinsing fresh fruit for the same reason and will keep the fruit fresher much longer especially strawberries but for all fresh fruit it gets rid of bacteria on it that causes the fruit to rot. The measure to do either of this is 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water.
