Citric acid?

[Chopper]

Can some one please explain this to me further, i've heard something about put it in dogs water?

I know for one that citric acid (specifically Lemon juice/scent) is used as a natural flea repellent. I can't say how well that works, but check out http://www.game-dog.com/forums/article.php?a=55
