Diatomaceous Earth is a fully natural insect-controller for your dogs. Made up of the fossilised remains of tiny aquatic organisms called Diatoms, Diatomaceous Earth is found in bountiful supply across the world. The silicon dioxide contained in these micro-fossils are natural insect-killers, working by drawing fats and oils from an insect's exoskeleton.
Practical uses of Diatomaceous Earth are many, including controlling ants in your home if you have a bug-loving cat, mite and mange control on your chickens, and many more! It may have some uses as a natural flea treatment, but be aware of how much your pet inhales; they can eat it and wear it, but should not breathe it.
Some studies show the benefits of Diatomaceous Earth as a dietary supplement aiding in worm control. Our Food Grade D.E. is safe for your pet's ingestion and may assist with worm control, but the full testing of this has not yet been completed.
