Food Grade can be used around Humans Beings, Children and Pets ( Dogs and Cats), just don't breathe it through the nose, where mask and goggles when using (DE). Humans can take 1 teaspoon with plastic spoon in 8 oz of juice, water, because it doesn't have a taste at all. This helps get rid of parasite in the Human Body. For Dogs and Cats take outside if you can. Sprinkle Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade on the hair and rub the opposite direction of hair or use a pet comb
My 60 lb dog had tapeworms. I started giving him 1 heaping teaspoon of DE per day on his food, five days later I found a pile of tapeworms in his poop (gag!), with no more evidence of worms in poop or on his butt. I will continue daily for one month to ensure the eggs are killed as well. This stuff is great for killing most worms. My dog is so much happier and feeling better. These worms are disgusting.
Doctor, this stuff is AMAZING!! I made the huge mistake of buying Frontline for my GSD who already suffers from seizures, I nearly lost her after applying Frontline, she had 10 seizures, one after the other. Through prayer and bathing her and getting the toxic Frontline off her, giving her activated charcoal she pulled through. The Diatamaceous Earth Food Grade does take a while to kill sand mites but IT WORKS!!! Thank you for this upload and all your valuable advice on your other videos too. I'm a big fan.
Only Pet Natural has a flea treatment and flea Treats from fleatreats.com has flea supplements. We got Only Pet Natural fleas treats from Chewy.com Both helps my cats.
My dog got really sick as well from the neck droplets, i forget the brand. I washed it off with dish soap as the drops are oil based and he was instantly better. It was either frontline or advantage i believe
Hi, Tell me , How MUCH ACTIVATED CHARCOAL Have you gave her? AND How Much does she weigh?? Bush Dr Jones would also talk more about "ACTIVATED CHARCOAL" particularly ON CATS and ON the dosages and how often? THANK You For your reply.!!!!!
@@barbmanley3114 I'm going to guess that the activated charcoal was given internally as it goes in and absorbs/binds to all kinds of toxins including heavy metals. I know I personally take it to remove heavy metals (which we ALL have). I take an empty capsule & fill it with AC and take it that way. Good luck
Have been using diatomaceous earth for a couple of years now for our large crew, about 30, of rescue dog, we foster and adopt street dogs through various charities, and any issues with fleas and worms it clears and prevents. The cost of using off the shelf flea and worm treatments was enormous so using diatomaceous earth has saved us a fortune. Having watched your video it seems there are even more benefits. Thanks for the information.
Note: always use "food grade" diatomaceous earth which is completely safe; the normal diatomaceous earth is for agricultural use and needs to be handled with care and experience.
I have been using DE for YEARS. Make sure ya'll understand there is food-grade and industrial grade. When you are using for pets or humans, always use food-grade. It is also tasteless so you can simply add to water, juice, tea, coffee, etc. And even adding it to your pets water too!
@@ginagz6601 sorry late reply, but I buy the Harris brand. I actually get it from my local Home Depot, but you can check online and see where else you might have it locally.
Awesome video, containing a TON of information in 9 minutes. I thank you for making that info freely available. Considering how many millions of cats & dogs there are in this country it would be wonderful if this video had 35,000,000 views instead of 35k. IMO many people don't even think about what they feed their animals and that is sad, very sad. Humanity needs to WAKE UP in so many ways...
But anyone out there looking to buy Diatomaceous Earth make sure you get the food grade. Because if it doesn't say food grade on it don't buy it because it is harmful to humans and pets. But the food grade of Diatomaceous Earth is very healthy and very good for humans and pets and it is not harmful at all it is harmless
@ Tasmanian Devil - Your absolutely right!, Great post. The other grade of Diatomaceous Earth is used in DE pool filtering systems and is very dangerous for people and pets. trust me I worked with this stuff I would wear a mask before putting into the filter container. So folks be safe.
Thank you for caring about our pets and all of the helpful information that keeps us from spending money we really don't have on expensive medications.
We never use Frontline. We get the food grade DE from Tractor Supply, and apply externally on cats, and apply to home carpeting and brush it in. Stops the hatching cycle. A product called Flea Busters is not food grade, but can be brushed into home carpeting. We bought it from a holistic vet. Let product sit one week then vacuum up. It worked wonders! We do not spray chemicals in house or on the yard ever.
Thank you for the many use of Diatomaceous (DE) and make sure you get the one that says FOOD GRADE for Humans and pets inside the home. The other one is for outside the home.
The DE is awesome for polishing and cleaning too...get's the stains out of your coffee cups easier than cleanser or baking soda. Noticed after a week of taking it in water that my teeth were getting whiter too. This stuff rocks!
When I get to half a bag (around 40lb dog, 15lb cat) of pet food I add about a tablespoon of food grade DE and shake it up real good. My dog is a terrier and kills any kind of rodent that decides to hang out near the house. Very strong hunting instinct - even killed a mouse at my dad's during Thanksgiving. The worms were a hassle before the DE. I have 2 indoor cats who sleep with the dog and would get worms from her. Ugh. Now I never have to deal with worms. And it's CHEAP.
A YES for GIARDIA from us! We tried rounds of vet prescribed panacur and metronidazole for our bernedoodle puppy with success of reducing the giardia cysts/symptoms. I chose to try DE product from Chewy called Intesticare despite my vet saying it would not work. After three weeks of daily use according to the label I retested our pup. My vet called, stunned that every cyst was gone!! She wasn’t thrilled that I went it alone against her advice but happy to know it worked. Giardia can be a daunting journey for new pet owners and gets discouraging!! Sometimes you have to go with your gut and try unconventional treatment. We continue to give our pup and older dog DE each day I’m goat cheese forgoing vet prescribed wormers. They love it and we’ve noticed no side effects! I’m now convinced it’s a great idea for myself as well. * only use food grade DE.
Thanks for mentioning giardia! Haven't had any problems for years, but picked it up myself in Nepal years ago and it was not easy to get rid of. I'm a dog trainer and competitor and judge, so I often hear of cases among my fellow "doggers". Great to know that GE can help!
My bowel movements changed immediately I can feel even how I feel better from that alone, I like the light crunchy feeling I even mix some lemon juice in every morning
@@corrinjade3973 it helps me go daily and it no longer hurts to go. When I haven’t taken it in the past I was a little more constipated. When taking it it’s important to drink more water throughout the day as well. It’s amazing stuff.
Thank You so much for sharing your knowledge. (obviously I applied it) My darling Labrador chocolate Puppy farm/Mill survivor happened to live to the age of 16 and half years. Rather incredible, considering the abuse that she had been through, giving birth to, over 100 pups before the tender age of 6. Diatomaceous Earth really helped her, even at 16/2 years she could still get up and move around by her self, It has also helped one of my other Labradors be free from leg surgery. Thank You so much for caring
Wow! I have an 18yr old Sphynx who I believe's still very active thanks to giving her CBD oil (cat safe) & Sovereign Silver once/day but gonna start adding DE to her food & hope that helps too! 😊
I have taken this in water and actually helped with a bladder issue. I was sold. Will start my dog on it. She's great Dane with a swollen gland.. for couple months.. using MMS but no reduction in goose size knot on side neck. Vet discovered it... And did scan on it.. thought it could be an infection/not cancer...but that was 2months ago. This can't hurt to try!!!
I've read the comments and would like to add. I've researched DE off and on for 7 yrs. If applying topical, be aware that it can dry out your dogs skin, so be sure to include other natural alternatives into your protocol. I personally don't NEED to apply it topically to my animals, never have as the other things I do are enough. There are different grades, meaning there's the "natural" grade, which is quite coarse, then there's ground fine, and/or very fine. I choose the very fine for myself and pets. I take it daily, my dogs don't have it daily, but its included in with their supplement protocols. Silica has many benefits. I use the more coarse for outdoors, the quail coop - it helps keep their coop clean, helps keep odors down and pest free. Also helps with the quails internal and external parasite control. I add to their water every few months and add a small amount to their everyday food. TIP: You may read that its "100% non toxic", but thats not 100% true. During the processing, harmful heavy metals are removed so it can be sold as food grade...their is always a small amount left behind. The manufacture must test before making it available. Contact the manufacturer and ask to see the tests for the arsenic, lead and cadmium etc contamination results. If they won't or don't share with you, then simply move along to the next supplier. C

Yes I've heard about diatomaceous earth before get rid of bugs in house.. You just have to make sure you get"" FOOD GRADE"" so that if your Cat or Dog or any animal should happen to step in or lick it, it won't hurt them. but i didn't know us humans could drink ir. THANKS Dr. Jones
Thanks for this valuable information. I've used DE for many years as a natural de-wormer for my dogs. I also sprinkle it generously around my large dog yard especially in the spring since I live in a snowy, wintery climate and it's hard to keep the area cleaned up in the ice and snow. The DE helps to keep any odor down and also, I believe, may help to keep any roundworm eggs in the ground from being a problem. I have a dog who I nearly lost to PLE (look it up, folks, if you want to know about it) due to his not being able to assimilate his food and caused him to become dreadfully malnourished. After finally being diagnosed and researching additional natural products that could help him, he is now doing well and has even gained most of his weight back. I think I will add some DE to his diet as well. Can't hurt, might help, is my motto. I have had to deworm him more frequently than the other dogs and feel that the DE could help his immune system as well. Especially since I've been under such stress with this dog for nearly 2 years, my eczema has come back with a vengeance and nothing has been helping. So I will DEFINITELY begin giving myself a daily helping of DE to see what might happen. You are a true godsend to so many of us who want to go a more natural route with our pets! I'm grateful for this new knowledge. I always have a big bag of DE on hand.
how can I give it to an extremely picky Chihuahua? I have tried everything, in his water, on food, hamburger, chicken, everything. is there any way to give it to him in a syringe? Like medicine
Thanks Dr Jones for another informative video! I have a question about the dosage you advised. I've been using DE for a couple of years. The doses that I've seen and have been using are almost the opposite of what you advised. I've been advised to use 1 Tbsp for humans and 1 Tsp for dogs regardless of size. I've been giving my 7-8 lb chihuahua 1 tsp daily with absolutely no ill effects. Also you mentioned DE for Tapeworms. From what I've read, DE is effective for all worms Except tapeworms. This appears to be true, as my dog did get tapeworms last summer and the DE did nothing to get rid of them. Lastly, there's an article online that infers a study on DE vs Lupus was very positive. Once again, thank you for this and your other great videos!
As someone who has adopted many rescue dogs, I've always used organic oat bran. It takes about six weeks, but it works on tapeworms. About 1/2 teaspoon sprinkled over food twice a day.
Can you post the article about Lupus vs DE? My dog has Lupus and have been for several years trying to find as many natural ways to alleviate the symptoms
So my 5 lb yorkie should just get a few sprinkles I guess. I panicked after finding a few fleas and order a huge bag on amazon. I used about half a cup to dust my apartment. Fleas seem to be gone. Haven’t seen any worms but I want to give her some anyway. I’m going to drink some too. Thanks
@@jennykim5247 The kind I bought from Amazon comes with a duster. It works great. And it definitely got rid of all fleas & bugs. I lightly dusted on carpet and base boards. And a little extra around windows and doors. I bought a big bad I really don’t need as much as I have so I use outside the front door too. Texas gets lots of bugs in the summer and this stuff dries them out before they even make it all the way in.
Yes diatomaceous earth has a whole lot of benefits for humans and pets. and it will kill any kind of bug or spider or anything like that that comes into your house by breaking down this outer line of the shell and causing them to die of dehydration and oxygen deprivation.
I appreciate you so much Dr.Jones. I do add DM to my dogs food for 1 week every 2 months. My guys are 14 and 13 year old Yorkies. They have developed a few warts. Can I apply DM to warts?
Could you please be very specific about what type of worms this has been effective against, and what do you recommend to give full spectrum of internal parasite control? I'm interested in the most natural products...thank you for this and so many great videos
Hi - the only study I can find is for chickens, but it does lower parasite load for all types of worms. The site Dogs Naturally says this..Diatomaceous Earth can eliminate roundworms, whipworms, pinworms, and hookworms within seven days of being fed daily.
Had a woman suggest it is bad for the lungs and said studies say it doesn't work once it's wet for parasites/worms internally. I have read things that are for & against. As someone who is trying to raise animals without pharmaceuticals unless absolutely necessary it's nice to see this from a vet. Could you cite some studies for the use for controlling parasites internally & externally proving it safe please?
Hi- 1st it should not be inhaled. It is a fairly benign natural product that I have used with my pets, and on my family. 2nd here is more info from the National Pesticide Info Center. What is diatomaceous earth?Diatomaceous earth is made from the fossilized remains of tiny, aquatic organisms called diatoms. Their skeletons are made of a natural substance called silica. Over a long period of time, diatoms accumulated in the sediment of rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans. Today, silica deposits are mined from these areas.Silica is very common in nature and makes up 26% of the earth's crust by weight. Various forms of silica include sand, emerald, quartz, feldspar, mica, clay, asbestos, and glass. Silicon, a component of silica, does not exist naturally in its pure form. It usually reacts with oxygen and water to form silicon dioxide. Silicon dioxide has two naturally occurring forms: crystalline and amorphous. Most diatomaceous earth is made of amorphous silicon dioxide. However, it can contain very low levels of crystalline silicon dioxide. The first pesticide products containing silicon dioxide (diatomaceous earth) were registered in 1960 to kill insects and mites.What are some products that contain diatomaceous earth?Products containing diatomaceous earth are most commonly dusts. Other formulations include wettable powders and pressurized liquids. Currently, there are over 150 products registered for use inside and outside of buildings, farms, gardens, and pet kennels. Some products can also be used directly on dogs and cats. Diatomaceous earth products are registered for use against bed bugs, cockroaches, crickets, fleas, ticks, spiders, and many other pests.There are thousands of non-pesticide products that contain diatomaceous earth. These include skin care products, toothpastes, foods, beverages, medicines, rubbers, paints, and water filters. The Food & Drug Administration lists diatomaceous earth as "Generally Recognized as Safe". "Food grade" diatomaceous earth products are purified. They may be used as anticaking materials in feed, or as clarifiers for wine and beer.Always follow label instructions and take steps to minimize exposure. If any exposures occur, be sure to follow the First Aid instructions on the product label carefully. For additional treatment advice, contact the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222. If you wish to discuss a pesticide problem, please call 1-800-858-7378.How does diatomaceous earth work?Diatomaceous earth is not poisonous; it does not have to be eaten in order to be effective. Diatomaceous earth causes insects to dry out and die by absorbing the oils and fats from the cuticle of the insect's exoskeleton. Its sharp edges are abrasive, speeding up the process. It remains effective as long as it is kept dry and undisturbed.
My schnauzer has started eating dirt,has lost 7lbs in 2 weeks. Blood work shows slight anemia, the one thing that was the most off in the blood work was high phosphorus. Stool is dark, has history of gastointestinal upset, sensitive stomach, takes zantac occasionally, not daily. Vet says has hooks, wants me to worm, but he is very very weak, not well at all. Im afraid to stress him with the wormer. He is on a supplement, and sucralase? Im wondering if the D.E. moght not be a good choice for him right now? He is 13 lbs. How much do i give?
@@VeterinarySecrets Thank you SO much for all of that info! We are so lucky to have someone like you to share this information. With many blessings to you and family 🙏🏻🥰
Hi Dr Jones . So i bought the food grade kind ut it has a higher silica percentage that iv hear u say that yours has . Is it still safe ? I already ga e it to him twice but im skipping days in-between. Do u think he will be ok ? Also for how long can i give it to him please ? I noticed he is much more hungry and sleepy when i give it to him is that normal ??
Out of curiosity and for peace of mind, since DE can help the immune system and clean the blood from heavy metals, do you think it's strong enough to clean the blood--or at least sustain the life of a dog with pyometra (opened or closed)?
Thank you so much for sharing ur valuable wisdom... My 10 months old Husky sheds so much of hair.....so wat dose, for how many days, or how frequently shud I give him of DE...
What about the dangers of ingesting the powder? Is it good for heart worm in my pet family? How often do you administer the teaspoon to the dog? Do you dash some on food every day?
PLEASE make a bold statement that diatomaceous earth dust should NEVER be inhaled by you or your pet! The benefits are great but you haven’t mentioned this very serious potential danger.
Thats not true it's pool Grade that should not be inhaled food grade is just fine explain to me if it's food grade you can eat it and be safe if you can eat it then it should be safe to inhale it
@@bretrandolph7419 neither type should be inhaled as it is abrasive and can cause lung scarring. The gastrointestinal system can handle it…the food grade quality. Hope this info helps. 😎
@@urbanbeachbum2148 lol food grade means you can eat it. If you can eat it and consume inside your body then is absolutely cannot be toxic to be inhaled. It's a myth. Pool grade is the kind shouldn't be inhaled.
@@cortneym6901 I use it when they are old enough to eat solid food.(MUST BE FOOD GRADE). I don't use very much. But don't just take my word for it. I am just a guy feeding 50 plus feral cats. There are many videos on the subject.. I also put it on the floor and carpets It gets everywhere and can really mess up a window a/c. I no longer put it directly on the cats I discovered flea pills that work great even if a bit pricy.
This is great information, especially since my dog is currently recovering from an ACL injury. I currently give her Luxolite from Vitality Science, which I think it diatomaceous earth mixed in water. Thank you, Dr. Jones, for sharing your wealth of information with us!
The "tingly lips' happened to me and got so bad my doctor had me go to ER. He was concerned it was stroke or something. ER said no stroke, affects only one side of body. They said I have serious sinus infection. Been battling that for over a year off and on. So I don't think you and your wife 'tingled' at the lips or face from the paint. This happened to me in May 2017, less than 2 months ago. Across the country people were getting these strange tingling sensations, even very young kids. .Maybe its from new powerful wifi or some other electrical pulse. Good info on DE, thank you for your post. Blessings
Veterinary Secrets you are right, my lips tingle when I come near paint fumes, varnishes, most detergents, fabric softeners, antiperspirant, air freshners, and alot of other chemicals.
For deworming a cat, dose down accordingly from a quarter of a teaspoon for 20 lb of body weight, how often do we give this quarter teaspoon to control or deworm an animal in my case would be the cats?? My cats weigh anywhere from 7 lb to 18 lb
lightsobrite i use half cup for 16 lb dry food. I put it in bag and shake it. The food will look white but after while all the oils will absorb the DE. My cats have tapeworms. I started few days ago and they have no problem eating it.
Can I use this for mites in my kittens ears? I recently adopted two kittens, brother and sister. I believe they both have ear mites. They haven’t had their first vet appointment yet, but are up-to-date on their shots. I was wondering if diatomaceous earth was safe to put in the cats ears? They are five months old.
thanks for the info I have a 5 pound bag that I thought was only good for fleas in the house now I and my dogs and cats can gain from it, much appreciated
Could diatomaceous food grade earth be used to rub into the fur of a pet mouse to avoids the many issues hamsters & mice get such as lice mites or worms? Would it harm them? Could it be added into their bedding? Thank you
Dr, Jones, Thank You for sharing these videos. I know it's helped me a lot Already. !!!!..... would you please answer this question?? I haven't seen you talk about"" ACTIVATED CHARCOAL"".... would you please talk about it? especially I've been having trouble with my Cats? could I use it at all and if so how much if cats have anemia??.... AND could I use this diatomaceous earth for My Cats who have anemia. This is A Very serious subject. I've already lost from anemia. This was mostly from fleas, the blood-sucking parasites!!!! PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME!!!! I NEED HELP RIGHT NOW, A. S. A. P......!!!!!!...i don't want to LOSE Any More ofmy Beloved Cats and Kittens!!!!! .. HELP!!!!
Many thanks for your very helpful videos. Please tell me daily dosage and for how many days should DE be given to dogs for prevention of /and treatment of parasites. Most appreciative of your channel. Many thanks.
On what period of time should we give food grade DE to our dogs internally? To be clear I understood (as english is not my native language), must be given 1/4 teaspoon per 20 pounds (9kg)? My dog is 14-15kg (31-33pounds), how much should I give him, 1/2 teaspoon is too much? Thank you
Hi Dr. Jones I have terrier and Boxer weight 25 Lb. and 19 years old. I watch your video of Diatomaceous Earth. You have talk about dog ACL injury benefit, But did not talk about How much and How long should I give? Should I also gave her activated carbon with it?
Hello Dr. Jones . I have a very sick cat with terminal cancer . He can barely hold food down and have lost tremendous amount of weight . I have been supplementing with Catsure and if I add a little to his supplement, will it benefit at all ? He is skin and bones at this point and my best guessed weight is , maybe 3 lb. the most . If you can tell me 1/8 tsp or less mixed with his supplement would possibly benefit , I would be grateful of your advice . I have bought the Harris Food Grade but I absolutely need to be sure How to use first . Thank you so much . By the way , very informative video . I look forward to viewing more .
Reading through all these comments and I'm surprised I've still seen no one mention the only danger of DE is inhaling it. The video didnt mention it either. Is the only caveat (besides drying skin) with using it for fleas and stuff. In the process of applying it, you want to make sure you don't inhale it and your pet doesn't inhale it. I have definitely been less careful than I should (prioritizing my cats don't inhale it and not paying so much attention to me) and experienced some regrettable shortness of breath for the rest of the day. As we have established, it is abrasive. You do not want something abrasive in your lungs. Repeated exposure will definitely do harm over time, but this is not to make it sound scary. It's a very safe thing, provided you use food grade and dont inhale it
With Diatomaceous earth (you need to use food grade) for people you want to start with 1/4 teaspoon and work up to 2 Tablespoons. Some people are sensitive and need to increase slowly. We give it to our cats daily. And I take it daily It is an inert substance so you can use it long term
@@everhappy6312 we make a months worth of raw meat cat food (no plants, cats are obligate carnivores and should only eat meat and raw meat at that) I put in 1/4 cup into the recipe. So maybe 1/4 teaspoon or less.
quarter teaspoon for 20 lbs body weight? i read it was 1 teaspoon for small dogs, i been giving my chuwawa who weighs 4kg this stuff for a week at 1 teaspoon a day. should u cut down?
I did this too!! CONSTIPATION! Start giving lots of liquids, broth, anything to get it to go on thru the system. It can block the intestines. Hope Dr Jones addresses this. I have seen several instructions that WAY overstate the amount per pound!!! Hope your pup is okay!
Insanity is Sanity Hi! I've been giving my 7-8 lb chihuahua 1 level or even a bit less tsp for about 2 years with no ill effects. I feed Honest Kitchen Dehydrated dog food so I add a bit of extra water when rehydrating. I also add 1capful of Bragg's vinegar, the DE and a couple of other healthy products. The HK food is human grade and grain free. Although they do carry a limited grain line and a line of food that you add to raw meats.
Once again Thank you I have tried everything From the mildest to the strongest Vet medication that made our dog really sick to Wondercide that cost me sixty nine dollars and has done nothing I have gotten more fleas from the flea comb than that! I will go and buy some as soon as have my next day off if you sold it I would buy it from you sense you have helped me so many times. Thank you!!!!!!
I used the Wondercide for a flea problem in my house. Sprayed it everywhere while the cats were outside for a few hours. It made them so sick after they came in. One of them had strings of saliva hanging off his mouth and all three of them wouldn't eat anything for a couple of days! Maybe it's good around dogs but I would not ever use it again around cats!!
How often the 1/8 teaspoon for Kats ? I gave 2 a one year old mothers and 6 kittens that are 3 months .. one of the mothers is 7.5 weeks pregnant They have fleas and worms .. one mother just got Spay soon want to treat her to help her heal !! Help !! Lol
Make sure to get the FOOD GRADE version of this!
What might be the difference?
@@l.correll ones edible and the other isn’t.
SUPER IMPORTANT : GET FOOD GRADE ONLY. The other is a commercial grade that is poisonous and NOT for consumption by humans or animals.
Food Grade can be used around Humans Beings, Children and Pets ( Dogs and Cats), just don't breathe it through the nose, where mask and goggles when using (DE). Humans can take 1 teaspoon with plastic spoon in 8 oz of juice, water, because it doesn't have a taste at all. This helps get rid of parasite in the Human Body. For Dogs and Cats take outside if you can. Sprinkle Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade on the hair and rub the opposite direction of hair or use a pet comb
sometimes the non-food grade will have a bit of added pesticide, it will be listed on the label
My 60 lb dog had tapeworms. I started giving him 1 heaping teaspoon of DE per day on his food, five days later I found a pile of tapeworms in his poop (gag!), with no more evidence of worms in poop or on his butt. I will continue daily for one month to ensure the eggs are killed as well. This stuff is great for killing most worms. My dog is so much happier and feeling better. These worms are disgusting.
So good to know this worked :-)
Gag part lol
did it get rid of the tapeworms for good? how long did it take?
@@pamelamorrisonn🐛😯 😂
Doctor, this stuff is AMAZING!! I made the huge mistake of buying Frontline for my GSD who already suffers from seizures, I nearly lost her after applying Frontline, she had 10 seizures, one after the other. Through prayer and bathing her and getting the toxic Frontline off her, giving her activated charcoal she pulled through. The Diatamaceous Earth Food Grade does take a while to kill sand mites but IT WORKS!!! Thank you for this upload and all your valuable advice on your other videos too. I'm a big fan.
Only Pet Natural has a flea treatment and flea Treats from fleatreats.com has flea supplements.
We got Only Pet Natural fleas treats from Chewy.com
Both helps my cats.
My dog got really sick as well from the neck droplets, i forget the brand.
I washed it off with dish soap as the drops are oil based and he was instantly better.
It was either frontline or advantage i believe
Hi, Tell me , How MUCH ACTIVATED CHARCOAL Have you gave her? AND How Much does she weigh?? Bush Dr Jones would also talk more about "ACTIVATED CHARCOAL" particularly ON CATS and ON the dosages and how often? THANK You For your reply.!!!!!
Tried Frontline on both of my Leonbergers, and both had skin reactions/rashes etc.
@@barbmanley3114 I'm going to guess that the activated charcoal was given internally as it goes in and absorbs/binds to all kinds of toxins including heavy metals. I know I personally take it to remove heavy metals (which we ALL have). I take an empty capsule & fill it with AC and take it that way. Good luck
Have been using diatomaceous earth for a couple of years now for our large crew, about 30, of rescue dog, we foster and adopt street dogs through various charities, and any issues with fleas and worms it clears and prevents. The cost of using off the shelf flea and worm treatments was enormous so using diatomaceous earth has saved us a fortune. Having watched your video it seems there are even more benefits. Thanks for the information.

@@TBI-Firefighter-451 yeah. Can't believe ppl are brushing it into their pets fur. Way to destroy your pets lungs.

What brand name?
It’s a mineral, you can feed your cat for months , let’s say 6 months then a break of 1 month
@@ginagz6601 sorry late reply, but I buy the Harris brand. I actually get it from my local Home Depot, but you can check online and see where else you might have it locally.
You're quickly becoming one of my favorite that's on the internet your videos are informative and I love that you're not just peddling drugs
Awesome video, containing a TON of information in 9 minutes. I thank you for making that info freely available. Considering how many millions of cats & dogs there are in this country it would be wonderful if this video had 35,000,000 views instead of 35k. IMO many people don't even think about what they feed their animals and that is sad, very sad. Humanity needs to WAKE UP in so many ways...
But anyone out there looking to buy Diatomaceous Earth make sure you get the food grade. Because if it doesn't say food grade on it don't buy it because it is harmful to humans and pets. But the food grade of Diatomaceous Earth is very healthy and very good for humans and pets and it is not harmful at all it is harmless
I agree yes ensure it is food grade
@ Tasmanian Devil - Your absolutely right!, Great post.
The other grade of Diatomaceous Earth is used in DE pool filtering systems and is very dangerous for people and pets. trust me I worked with this stuff I would wear a mask before putting into the filter container. So folks be safe.
Yeah the non food grade has uses being cheaper. Yard and garden
As long as you don't breath it. So can you really say completely harmless? Just saying. I am thinking of using it as a bug killer.
Tasmanian Devil I bought a 50 lb. bag that is for farm animals. Would this be safe for people too?
Thank you for caring about our pets and all of the helpful information that keeps us from spending money we really don't have on expensive medications.
You’re welcome! Happy to help. 😊

Yes thank you so much 🙏💗
Remember if used outside it will also kill honeybees. So use very sparingly
❤thanks!!
I thought it only affected the exoskeleton of things? bees dont have them do they?
We never use Frontline. We get the food grade DE from Tractor Supply, and apply externally on cats, and apply to home carpeting and brush it in. Stops the hatching cycle. A product called Flea Busters is not food grade, but can be brushed into home carpeting. We bought it from a holistic vet. Let product sit one week then vacuum up. It worked wonders! We do not spray chemicals in house or on the yard ever.
Thank you for the many use of Diatomaceous (DE) and make sure you get the one that says FOOD GRADE for Humans and pets inside the home. The other one is for outside the home.
The DE is awesome for polishing and cleaning too...get's the stains out of your coffee cups easier than cleanser or baking soda. Noticed after a week of taking it in water that my teeth were getting whiter too. This stuff rocks!
Quite literally 😁
@@BridiesMammaG😂
When I get to half a bag (around 40lb dog, 15lb cat) of pet food I add about a tablespoon of food grade DE and shake it up real good. My dog is a terrier and kills any kind of rodent that decides to hang out near the house. Very strong hunting instinct - even killed a mouse at my dad's during Thanksgiving. The worms were a hassle before the DE. I have 2 indoor cats who sleep with the dog and would get worms from her. Ugh. Now I never have to deal with worms. And it's CHEAP.
A YES for GIARDIA from us!
We tried rounds of vet prescribed panacur and metronidazole for our bernedoodle puppy with success of reducing the giardia cysts/symptoms. I chose to try DE product from Chewy called Intesticare despite my vet saying it would not work. After three weeks of daily use according to the label I retested our pup. My vet called, stunned that every cyst was gone!! She wasn’t thrilled that I went it alone against her advice but happy to know it worked.
Giardia can be a daunting journey for new pet owners and gets discouraging!! Sometimes you have to go with your gut and try unconventional treatment.
We continue to give our pup and older dog DE each day I’m goat cheese forgoing vet prescribed wormers. They love it and we’ve noticed no side effects!
I’m now convinced it’s a great idea for myself as well.
* only use food grade DE.
Thanks for mentioning giardia! Haven't had any problems for years, but picked it up myself in Nepal years ago and it was not easy to get rid of. I'm a dog trainer and competitor and judge, so I often hear of cases among my fellow "doggers". Great to know that GE can help!
My bowel movements changed immediately I can feel even how I feel better from that alone, I like the light crunchy feeling I even mix some lemon juice in every morning
Happy Pooping!
When you say they changed immediately, do you mean it was easier to go? I have chronic constipation which is why I ask.
@@corrinjade3973 it helps me go daily and it no longer hurts to go. When I haven’t taken it in the past I was a little more constipated. When taking it it’s important to drink more water throughout the day as well. It’s amazing stuff.
Must be FOOD GRADE D.E. , as regular d e. Is posionous and meant for pool filters only. Yes there is two types of D.E.
thank you for offering these natural remedies. I love your channel! I'm going to use this for my kitties❤️
You're welcome:)
Thank you for informing us, fleas had me nuts. My cats are flea-less And I can use it too .
Thank You so much for sharing your knowledge. (obviously I applied it)
My darling Labrador chocolate Puppy farm/Mill survivor happened to live to the age of 16 and half years.
Rather incredible, considering the abuse that she had been through, giving birth to, over 100 pups before the tender age of 6.
Diatomaceous Earth really helped her, even at 16/2 years she could still get up and move around by her self, It has also helped one of my other Labradors be free from leg surgery.
Thank You so much for caring
That's great to hear, thank you for sharing:)
Did you feed kibble or raw?
Wow! I have an 18yr old Sphynx who I believe's still very active thanks to giving her CBD oil (cat safe) & Sovereign Silver once/day but gonna start adding DE to her food & hope that helps too! 😊
I have taken this in water and actually helped with a bladder issue. I was sold. Will start my dog on it. She's great Dane with a swollen gland.. for couple months.. using MMS but no reduction in goose size knot on side neck. Vet discovered it... And did scan on it.. thought it could be an infection/not cancer...but that was 2months ago. This can't hurt to try!!!
I've read the comments and would like to add. I've researched DE off and on for 7 yrs.
If applying topical, be aware that it can dry out your dogs skin, so be sure to include other natural alternatives into your protocol. I personally don't NEED to apply it topically to my animals, never have as the other things I do are enough.
There are different grades, meaning there's the "natural" grade, which is quite coarse, then there's ground fine, and/or very fine. I choose the very fine for myself and pets. I take it daily, my dogs don't have it daily, but its included in with their supplement protocols. Silica has many benefits.
I use the more coarse for outdoors, the quail coop - it helps keep their coop clean, helps keep odors down and pest free. Also helps with the quails internal and external parasite control. I add to their water every few months and add a small amount to their everyday food.
TIP: You may read that its "100% non toxic", but thats not 100% true. During the processing, harmful heavy metals are removed so it can be sold as food grade...their is always a small amount left behind. The manufacture must test before making it available. Contact the manufacturer and ask to see the tests for the arsenic, lead and cadmium etc contamination results. If they won't or don't share with you, then simply move along to the next supplier.

Yes I've heard about diatomaceous earth before get rid of bugs in house.. You just have to make sure you get"" FOOD GRADE"" so that if your Cat or Dog or any animal should happen to step in or lick it, it won't hurt them. but i didn't know us humans could drink ir. THANKS Dr. Jones
Thanks for this valuable information. I've used DE for many years as a natural de-wormer for my dogs. I also sprinkle it generously around my large dog yard especially in the spring since I live in a snowy, wintery climate and it's hard to keep the area cleaned up in the ice and snow. The DE helps to keep any odor down and also, I believe, may help to keep any roundworm eggs in the ground from being a problem. I have a dog who I nearly lost to PLE (look it up, folks, if you want to know about it) due to his not being able to assimilate his food and caused him to become dreadfully malnourished. After finally being diagnosed and researching additional natural products that could help him, he is now doing well and has even gained most of his weight back. I think I will add some DE to his diet as well. Can't hurt, might help, is my motto. I have had to deworm him more frequently than the other dogs and feel that the DE could help his immune system as well. Especially since I've been under such stress with this dog for nearly 2 years, my eczema has come back with a vengeance and nothing has been helping. So I will DEFINITELY begin giving myself a daily helping of DE to see what might happen. You are a true godsend to so many of us who want to go a more natural route with our pets! I'm grateful for this new knowledge. I always have a big bag of DE on hand.
This is wonderful to know. I'm putting that in my coffee right now. I mixed it with some chicken stock for my cat
@@XeninaCalifornia Good idea with the chicken stock. Thanks !!
make sure it says Food Grade D.E.?
Love your video's, lot of useful information, thank you for all your help.
Thank you Debra.
Thanks
yes definitely made sure of that
how can I give it to an extremely picky Chihuahua? I have tried everything, in his water, on food, hamburger, chicken, everything. is there any way to give it to him in a syringe? Like medicine
I use DE in my yard to help control fleas. I also put it in my house .its best to use Food Grade DE tractor supply has it for $30-50 lbs.
I would mix with a wooden or plastic spoon. Diatomaceous Earth will pull the metals out of the spoon and into the water.
Putting a cut onion around the place when painting absorbs the smell, maybe the toxins too.
I use a tablespoon of vanilla in a gallon of paint. No odor to paint
Thankyou doctor, this needs promotion by public health experts.
Thank You
@@VeterinarySecrets So inspiring Gratitude, Dr Andrew. much love and many blessings to you and yours.
Thanks Dr Jones for another informative video! I have a question about the dosage you advised. I've been using DE for a couple of years. The doses that I've seen and have been using are almost the opposite of what you advised. I've been advised to use 1 Tbsp for humans and 1 Tsp for dogs regardless of size. I've been giving my 7-8 lb chihuahua 1 tsp daily with absolutely no ill effects. Also you mentioned DE for Tapeworms. From what I've read, DE is effective for all worms Except tapeworms. This appears to be true, as my dog did get tapeworms last summer and the DE did nothing to get rid of them. Lastly, there's an article online that infers a study on DE vs Lupus was very positive. Once again, thank you for this and your other great videos!
Thanks - there are no 'studies' only experiences from other vets/pet owners. MY suggestion is to dose based on weight
Kills tapeworm eggs, but not the grown larvae.
As someone who has adopted many rescue dogs, I've always used organic oat bran. It takes about six weeks, but it works on tapeworms. About 1/2 teaspoon sprinkled over food twice a day.
Can you post the article about Lupus vs DE? My dog has Lupus and have been for several years trying to find as many natural ways to alleviate the symptoms
so it didn't work on tapeworms? what worked? I have a 6lb rescue Chi currently w/ tape
So my 5 lb yorkie should just get a few sprinkles I guess. I panicked after finding a few fleas and order a huge bag on amazon. I used about half a cup to dust my apartment. Fleas seem to be gone. Haven’t seen any worms but I want to give her some anyway. I’m going to drink some too. Thanks
For anyone unsure. It’s been about 2 months since I used DE. No fleas...
that is no reason to start drinking.
@@markalan1501 I never did. I just use it outside to dry up bugs. 🙂
How do you spread it around the house?
@@jennykim5247 The kind I bought from Amazon comes with a duster. It works great. And it definitely got rid of all fleas & bugs. I lightly dusted on carpet and base boards. And a little extra around windows and doors. I bought a big bad I really don’t need as much as I have so I use outside the front door too. Texas gets lots of bugs in the summer and this stuff dries them out before they even make it all the way in.
Yes diatomaceous earth has a whole lot of benefits for humans and pets. and it will kill any kind of bug or spider or anything like that that comes into your house by breaking down this outer line of the shell and causing them to die of dehydration and oxygen deprivation.
As a dewormer, would this work for any parasites that aren’t residing in the digestive tract, i.e. heart worm? Thanks.

My Hens dust bathe in DE it explains why my dog wants to lay where the hens dust bathe . I fill a baby pool with DE & sprinkle it in my garden
Nice
I appreciate you so much Dr.Jones. I do add DM to my dogs food for 1 week every 2 months. My guys are 14 and 13 year old Yorkies. They have developed a few warts. Can I apply DM to warts?
I have 4 cats between 4 and 6 kg. How much and how often should I give the DE for fleas and other (internal) parasites?
Could you please be very specific about what type of worms this has been effective against, and what do you recommend to give full spectrum of internal parasite control? I'm interested in the most natural products...thank you for this and so many great videos
Hi - the only study I can find is for chickens, but it does lower parasite load for all types of worms. The site Dogs Naturally says this..Diatomaceous Earth can eliminate roundworms, whipworms, pinworms, and hookworms within seven days of being fed daily.
@@VeterinarySecrets
You're the best!!!
I read just not effective for Heart Worms. @@VeterinarySecrets
What name brand of food grade would y'all suggest?
Had a woman suggest it is bad for the lungs and said studies say it doesn't work once it's wet for parasites/worms internally. I have read things that are for & against. As someone who is trying to raise animals without pharmaceuticals unless absolutely necessary it's nice to see this from a vet. Could you cite some studies for the use for controlling parasites internally & externally proving it safe please?
Hi- 1st it should not be inhaled. It is a fairly benign natural product that I have used with my pets, and on my family.
2nd here is more info from the National Pesticide Info Center. What is diatomaceous earth?Diatomaceous earth is made from the fossilized remains of tiny, aquatic organisms called diatoms. Their skeletons are made of a natural substance called silica. Over a long period of time, diatoms accumulated in the sediment of rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans. Today, silica deposits are mined from these areas.Silica is very common in nature and makes up 26% of the earth's crust by weight. Various forms of silica include sand, emerald, quartz, feldspar, mica, clay, asbestos, and glass. Silicon, a component of silica, does not exist naturally in its pure form. It usually reacts with oxygen and water to form silicon dioxide. Silicon dioxide has two naturally occurring forms: crystalline and amorphous. Most diatomaceous earth is made of amorphous silicon dioxide. However, it can contain very low levels of crystalline silicon dioxide. The first pesticide products containing silicon dioxide (diatomaceous earth) were registered in 1960 to kill insects and mites.What are some products that contain diatomaceous earth?Products containing diatomaceous earth are most commonly dusts. Other formulations include wettable powders and pressurized liquids. Currently, there are over 150 products registered for use inside and outside of buildings, farms, gardens, and pet kennels. Some products can also be used directly on dogs and cats. Diatomaceous earth products are registered for use against bed bugs, cockroaches, crickets, fleas, ticks, spiders, and many other pests.There are thousands of non-pesticide products that contain diatomaceous earth. These include skin care products, toothpastes, foods, beverages, medicines, rubbers, paints, and water filters. The Food & Drug Administration lists diatomaceous earth as "Generally Recognized as Safe". "Food grade" diatomaceous earth products are purified. They may be used as anticaking materials in feed, or as clarifiers for wine and beer.Always follow label instructions and take steps to minimize exposure. If any exposures occur, be sure to follow the First Aid instructions on the product label carefully. For additional treatment advice, contact the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222. If you wish to discuss a pesticide problem, please call 1-800-858-7378.How does diatomaceous earth work?Diatomaceous earth is not poisonous; it does not have to be eaten in order to be effective. Diatomaceous earth causes insects to dry out and die by absorbing the oils and fats from the cuticle of the insect's exoskeleton. Its sharp edges are abrasive, speeding up the process. It remains effective as long as it is kept dry and undisturbed.
My schnauzer has started eating dirt,has lost 7lbs in 2 weeks.
Blood work shows slight anemia, the one thing that was the most off in the blood work was high phosphorus.
Stool is dark, has history of gastointestinal upset, sensitive stomach, takes zantac occasionally, not daily.
Vet says has hooks, wants me to worm, but he is very very weak, not well at all. Im afraid to stress him with the wormer.
He is on a supplement, and sucralase?

I heard it’s good for poultry as well!
Hi Dr Jones . So i bought the food grade kind ut it has a higher silica percentage that iv hear u say that yours has . Is it still safe ? I already ga e it to him twice but im skipping days in-between. Do u think he will be ok ? Also for how long can i give it to him please ? I noticed he is much more hungry and sleepy when i give it to him is that normal ??
Out of curiosity and for peace of mind, since DE can help the immune system and clean the blood from heavy metals, do you think it's strong enough to clean the blood--or at least sustain the life of a dog with pyometra (opened or closed)?
Possibly
Thank you 🙏🏻 for all your awesome videos! I saved $$$ big money on the ear infection advice you gave! You rock
I buy a Big Bag and use this on my trees, yard, flower beds, everywhere except fur kid.
Thank you Doc and Love to Tula. 🐶🐶
Make sure it's the food grade DE when using for dog! 🙂
It does kill bugs including honeybees. I would use it in spots but not all over
Dr. Jones❓Can we do the 1/4 Tsp. DE for dogs EVERY day? 🙂
THANK YOU! 🙏
To treat worms. How often do you recommend giving this to your dog ?
Thank you so much for sharing ur valuable wisdom...
My 10 months old Husky sheds so much of hair.....so wat dose, for how many days, or how frequently shud I give him of DE...
What about the dangers of ingesting the powder? Is it good for heart worm in my pet family? How often do you administer the teaspoon to the dog? Do you dash some on food every day?
I know of Families that have infestation of fleas in there home, how do you use De and how much, to you use it dry or wet ?
Use it dry.
How would this work on scabies if I drank it for several days and rubbed it on my skin? And would it affect the ivermectin in my system?

Dr. Berg mentions that exactly (FIRST THING) in his video : th-cam.com/video/hgSNOV2mj1U/w-d-xo.html
That is probably on the label.
Thats not true it's pool Grade that should not be inhaled food grade is just fine explain to me if it's food grade you can eat it and be safe if you can eat it then it should be safe to inhale it
@@bretrandolph7419 neither type should be inhaled as it is abrasive and can cause lung scarring. The gastrointestinal system can handle it…the food grade quality. Hope this info helps. 😎
@@urbanbeachbum2148 lol food grade means you can eat it. If you can eat it and consume inside your body then is absolutely cannot be toxic to be inhaled. It's a myth. Pool grade is the kind shouldn't be inhaled.
Wondering if this will help with hip problems 🤔
I use it for fleas .But do not let it get around tiny baby kittens. eye and respiratory problems may happen.
How old should they be?
@@cortneym6901 I use it when they are old enough to eat solid food.(MUST BE FOOD GRADE). I don't use very much. But don't just take my word for it. I am just a guy feeding 50 plus feral cats. There are many videos on the subject.. I also put it on the floor and carpets It gets everywhere and can really mess up a window a/c. I no longer put it directly on the cats I discovered flea pills that work great even if a bit pricy.
How often do you apply DE on dogs for fleas?
1/2 teaspoon per 30lbs. For wormer I have found to work best for my dogs.
OK
do you give DE daily to cats and dogs?
This is great information, especially since my dog is currently recovering from an ACL injury. I currently give her Luxolite from Vitality Science, which I think it diatomaceous earth mixed in water. Thank you, Dr. Jones, for sharing your wealth of information with us!
How does this help your dog’s ACL. Mine had one too.
Thank you Andrew
The "tingly lips' happened to me and got so bad my doctor had me go to ER. He was concerned it was stroke or something. ER said no stroke, affects only one side of body. They said I have serious sinus infection. Been battling that for over a year off and on. So I don't think you and your wife 'tingled' at the lips or face from the paint. This happened to me in May 2017, less than 2 months ago. Across the country people were getting these strange tingling sensations, even very young kids. .Maybe its from new powerful wifi or some other electrical pulse. Good info on DE, thank you for your post. Blessings
Thanks
Veterinary Secrets you are right, my lips tingle when I come near paint fumes, varnishes, most detergents, fabric softeners, antiperspirant, air freshners, and alot of other chemicals.
I had tingly lips too plus tingly left side of face. Come to find out I had arthritis in my left tmj area where your cranial nerves are.
For deworming a cat, dose down accordingly from a quarter of a teaspoon for 20 lb of body weight, how often do we give this quarter teaspoon to control or deworm an animal in my case would be the cats?? My cats weigh anywhere from 7 lb to 18 lb
Once a day for 7 days, stop 7 days, then repeat
lightsobrite i use half cup for 16 lb dry food. I put it in bag and shake it. The food will look white but after while all the oils will absorb the DE. My cats have tapeworms. I started few days ago and they have no problem eating it.
Dad always cut up an onion in a room he was painting, so I used to do that too.
Thank you yes I want to start giving it to my dogs but I need to know how much because they don’t weigh that much
How often can I use on my cats and what would the dosage be for kittens and cats… do I sprinkle on food or as a liquid
Any information on D.E. for giardia in cats? It seems to be working for my rescue cat. (The vet's treatment did not help her.)

They haven’t had their first vet appointment yet, but are up-to-date on their shots. I was wondering if diatomaceous earth was safe to put in the cats ears? They are five months old.

Hello Dr. Jones . I have a very sick cat with terminal cancer . He can barely hold food down and have lost tremendous amount of weight . I have been supplementing with Catsure and if I add a little to his supplement, will it benefit at all ? He is skin and bones at this point and my best guessed weight is , maybe 3 lb. the most . If you can tell me 1/8 tsp or less mixed with his supplement would possibly benefit , I would be grateful of your advice . I have bought the Harris Food Grade but I absolutely need to be sure How to use first . Thank you so much . By the way , very informative video . I look forward to viewing more .

Reading through all these comments and I'm surprised I've still seen no one mention the only danger of DE is inhaling it. The video didnt mention it either. Is the only caveat (besides drying skin) with using it for fleas and stuff. In the process of applying it, you want to make sure you don't inhale it and your pet doesn't inhale it. I have definitely been less careful than I should (prioritizing my cats don't inhale it and not paying so much attention to me) and experienced some regrettable shortness of breath for the rest of the day. As we have established, it is abrasive. You do not want something abrasive in your lungs. Repeated exposure will definitely do harm over time, but this is not to make it sound scary. It's a very safe thing, provided you use food grade and dont inhale it
With Diatomaceous earth (you need to use food grade) for people you want to start with 1/4 teaspoon and work up to 2 Tablespoons. Some people are sensitive and need to increase slowly.
We give it to our cats daily. And I take it daily
It is an inert substance so you can use it long term
How much do you give to your cats? Thank you.
@@everhappy6312 we make a months worth of raw meat cat food (no plants, cats are obligate carnivores and should only eat meat and raw meat at that) I put in 1/4 cup into the recipe. So maybe 1/4 teaspoon or less.

I did this too!! CONSTIPATION! Start giving lots of liquids, broth, anything to get it to go on thru the system. It can block the intestines. Hope Dr Jones addresses this. I have seen several instructions that WAY overstate the amount per pound!!! Hope your pup is okay!
Insanity is Sanity Hi! I've been giving my 7-8 lb chihuahua 1 level or even a bit less tsp for about 2 years with no ill effects. I feed Honest Kitchen Dehydrated dog food so I add a bit of extra water when rehydrating. I also add 1capful of Bragg's vinegar, the DE and a couple of other healthy products. The HK food is human grade and grain free. Although they do carry a limited grain line and a line of food that you add to raw meats.
@@laurielovesanimals53I have a 6lb Chi.....did it help ur dog with tapeworms?
@InsanityisSanity has it helped ur dog? I have a 6lb Chi w/ tapeworms.
Once again Thank you I have tried everything From the mildest to the strongest Vet medication that made our dog really sick to Wondercide that cost me sixty nine dollars and has done nothing I have gotten more fleas from the flea comb than that! I will go and buy some as soon as have my next day off if you sold it I would buy it from you sense you have helped me so many times. Thank you!!!!!!
Welcome
I used the Wondercide for a flea problem in my house. Sprayed it everywhere while the cats were outside for a few hours. It made them so sick after they came in. One of them had strings of saliva hanging off his mouth and all three of them wouldn't eat anything for a couple of days! Maybe it's good around dogs but I would not ever use it again around cats!!
Thanks for the info, how much for a kitten of 10 weeks old please?
How can I use this on an infested room that has a lot of fleas
Put it everywhere
How often the 1/8 teaspoon for Kats ? I gave 2 a one year old mothers and 6 kittens that are 3 months .. one of the mothers is 7.5 weeks pregnant
They have fleas and worms .. one mother just got Spay soon want to treat her to help her heal !! Help !! Lol
Is there any relationship between use of DE and the treatment of Ringworm for cats and dogs.
Not that I know of
Consider non toxic paint. I used AFM.
Perfect! Thanks!
