Diatomaceaous Earth for Pets
DE is a natural pest control to use around your home, but you can also use it to treat your pets for fleas.
Fleas are blood-sucking parasites which live outside, in our homes, and on our pets. The good thing, though, is that fleas really don't like DE.
DE is a natural insecticide that is safe to use around your pets and family members.

Diatom Nutri Pet
The natural solution for your pet
Internal & External Use
Pure Freshwater Source
Food Grade
Ingredient: 100% Diatomaceous Earth (amorphous non crystalline silica)
Diatomaceous Earth is a non-toxic, safe substance made up of crushed fossils of freshwater organisms and marine life. Crushed to a fine powder. Diatomaceous Earth is deadly to any insect yet completely harmless to animals.
Diatomaceous Earth’s mode of action for insect and parasite control is strictly mechanical. The microscopically sharp edges contact the insect or parasite and pierce their protective coating, so they soon dehydrate and die. The larvae is affected in the same way.
Internal parasites can be controlled by giving Diatomaceous Earth internally. It is very important to note that it must be food grade – the earth used in gardens and pool filters can damage your dog. Diatomaceous Earth can eliminate roundworms, whipworms, pinworms, and hookworms within seven days of being fed daily. To be most effective, Diatomaceous Earth should be fed for at least 30 days, to catch all newly hatching eggs or the cycling of the worms through the lungs and back to the stomach.
Another use for Diatomaceous Earth is the control of external parasites and flies. This is achieved by dusting your dog with Diatomaceous Earth, along with his bedding area and surrounding carpeted areas.
Other Uses
Diatomaceous Earth has also been reported in scientific literature to absorb methyl mercury, e-coli, endotoxins, viruses, organophosphate pesticide residues, drug resides, and protein, perhaps even the proteinaceous toxins produced by some intestinal infections. Given this, Diatomaceous Earth is very useful as a detox solution, digestive aid and colon cleanser.
For external parasite control, simply rub the powder at full strength into the coat for fleas and sprinkle on bedding.
