Diatomaceous Earth Powder

Diatomaceous Earth Powder is made of tiny fossilized diatoms which are a healthy natural supplement for pets. Diatomaceous Earth can be used to aid in flea and worm control of dogs and cats and/or as a gut health supplement.

For helping to manage fleas without, you can distribute the powder in your home environment (carpet is a good place to start). When fleas come into contact with Diatomaceous Earth, the sharp points of the diatoms stick to the flea and abrasively rub into the epi-cuticle, potentially killing them. Avoid inhalation of the powder by people or pets, as the fine dust can cause irritation of the airways. Topical application increases the risk.

For helping to manage gastrointestinal worms, add to food daily for 3 weeks evert 3 months. The hard and sharp honeycombs of the diatoms may injure the worms, so they can be passed out in the faeces.

Diatomaceous Earth can provide a good mineral boost for pets, especially good for those whose digestive system is challenged. It may also influence the microbial biofilms, aiding improvements in gut health and assimilation of nutrients.
