Diatomaceous Earth 6-lb Bag

What is Diatomaceous Earth?
Crushed fossils of freshwater organisms and marine life.  

Deadly to any insect, yet completely harmless to animals, it can kill fleas, ticks, lice or mites on your dog.

How does it work?
When the razor-sharp particles touch the pests, they pierce the insects' protective coating which quickly dehydrates them.  It can also help your dog with both internal and external parasites.

You can control internal parasites like worms giving diatomaceous earth with food.  Make sure you choose the right brand:  diatomaceous earth for your dog must be food grade.  To be most effective, you should feed diatomaceous earth for at least 30 days which assures you get rid of all newly hatched eggs.

Recommended Dosage in food:
Small dogs and puppies: 1/2 tsp per day
Up to 50 lbs:  1 tsp per day
50 - 100 lbs:  1 tbsp per day
Over 100 lbs:  2 tbsp per day


It's best to mix it with raw or other moist food.  

If you feed dry food, add some water or broth to moisten the powder.
