Diatomaceous Earth for Pets and Animals
*Perma-Guard Earth Works Health
Food Grade for Internal & External Use
Some of the
benefits that have been observed:*
Our best friends come in all shapes and sizes. Protect them with Diatomaceous Earth.
When lightly rubbed into their coats or dusted on their premises, it is very
effective against fleas, ticks, lice, and other pests on pet dogs, cats, and
birds. It can also be used as an organic wormer and will kill any worms or
parasites the pets may have. When using as a de-wormer, mix the Diatomaceous
Earth into their food as follows:
Large Cats – 1 teaspoon
Kittens –
1/4 teaspoon
Dogs 100 lbs + – 1-2 tablespoons
Dogs 50 – 100lbs – 1
tablespoon
Dogs Under 50 lbs – 1 teaspoon
Mini dogs – 1/2 teaspoon
As pets get older, they also get sore joints. With
Diatomaceous Earth in their
diet they will feel better. Apply to moist kennel areas to reduce odors, dry the
area, and prevent pest breeding. Deodorizing and absorption are natural
functions of DE, so add to kitty litter to absorb odors and keep the litter box
drier.
Veterinary naturopaths Drs. Kim Bloomer & Jeannie Thomason, hosts
of the online radio show, Animal Talk Naturally, have this to say about our
Perma-Guard Diatomaceous Earth: “Our work is based on natural, preventive care
for animals so of course we are always on the lookout for good, quality NATURAL
products to help our clients and our listening audience that won’t break the
bank. We’ve long been proponents of FOOD-grade diatomaceous earth as a natural
pest control for both external and internal use in animals. Earth Works Health
has provided both the high quality and affordability of DE in their Perma-Guard
product that we look for in our own personal use as well as for our clients.”
