DE for Animal Use

Diatomaceous Earth Flea & Tick Control Plus.. 
Safe Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth 
Pet Wormer, Livestock Wormer & 
Dietary Health Supplement 

.. For Our Best Friends.

PETS:  Our best friends come in all shapes and sizes. Protect them with Diatomaceous Earth. When lightly rubbed into their coats & dusted in their area,  it is very effective against fleas, ticks, lice, and other pests on dogs, cats, and birds. DE is also an effective ORGANIC WORMER and will kill any worms or parasites the pets may have. When using as a daily food supplement or as a safe wormer, mix Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth with pet food as follows:

• Large Cats - 1 teaspoon
• Kittens - 1/4 teaspoon
• Dogs 100 lb + - 1-2  tablespoons
• Dogs 50 - 100 lb - 1 tablespoon
• Dogs Under 50 lb - 1 teaspoon
• Mini dogs - 1/2 teaspoon

As pets get older, they often get sore  hips and joints. 
Diatomaceous Earth in your pet's daily diet will reduce inflamation.  Also 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 www.animaltalknaturally.com, 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. A Living Earth 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."

* EPA Notice: 

In order to claim that Perma-Guard DE kills insects, the EPA approved label needs to be on the bag.  We sell both the EPA approved label bag and the Non EPA approved label bag.  The only difference is the label---it is exactly the same product dug out of the same mine.  You, of course, can buy either product---we just need to inform you that we can legally only make insect killing claims on the diatomaceous earth with the EPA approved label.
