It offers gentle daily mineral support and a mechanical, chemical-free approach to biting insects, inside and out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is natural diatomaceous earth for dogs?
Ans: Natural diatomaceous earth is a soft, fine powder made from the remains of microscopic freshwater organisms called diatoms. The food-grade form can be mixed with a dog's food or used around the coat and home. Some pet owners use it as a natural way to deal with fleas and other insects.
Q2: Is natural diatomaceous earth safe for dogs?
Ans: Food-grade diatomaceous earth is commonly used with dogs, but it needs to be handled carefully. Since the powder is so fine, avoid getting it in your dog's eyes or letting either of you breathe it in. If you're adding it to food, begin with a small amount and follow the product's directions.
Q3: Does natural diatomaceous earth kill fleas on dogs?
Ans: It can affect fleas when the powder is dry and comes into contact with them. The particles can damage the flea's outer layer, but this is not a quick fix and may not get rid of an infestation on its own. For reliable flea control, continue using the treatment your veterinarian recommends.
Q4: How much natural diatomaceous earth should I give my dog?
Ans: Use the amount that matches your dog's weight. Dogs weighing up to 30 lbs can have about 1/3 teaspoon, while dogs between 31 and 50 lbs can have 1/2 teaspoon. For dogs weighing 51–75 lbs, use about 1 teaspoon. For a larger dog, the amount may be higher. When starting out, give less and keep clean drinking water nearby.
Q5: Can I put natural diatomaceous earth on my dog for fleas?
Ans: Yes, food-grade diatomaceous earth can be lightly worked into your dog's coat. Keep it away from the face and eyes, and avoid putting on more than needed. Using too much or applying it often may leave the skin and coat dry, so it's best used sparingly alongside your dog's regular flea prevention.
Q6: Can this replace my dog's vet dewormer or flea prevention?
Ans: No. Diatomaceous earth should not be used in place of your dog's regular deworming or flea and tick treatment. If you think your dog has worms, have your veterinarian check them and recommend the right treatment. You can use this product as an additional option, but keep your dog's usual preventive care in place.
