Diatomaceous Earth - Food Grade
Also consider giving your dog, cat Diatomaceous Earth (DE). DE consists of fossilized marine life with a high silica content and honeycomb structure. DE has agricultural, industrial and household uses , it is also used as a detoxing agent for human and non-human animals. Use only food grade organic DE for your dog, cat and yourself.
Benefits
- DE rids the body of:
- Parasites such as lice, ticks, fleas, mites and worms (DE is not effective on heartworm);
- Harmful bacteria and some viruses;
- Methyl Mercury;
- E. coli;
- Organophosphate pesticide residues;
- Drug residues.
As inoculations routinely provided to cats and dogs contain toxins, it is advisable to follow-up inoculations with a regime of DE.
When you are adding DE to your dogs or cats diet I recommend adding more moisture to their food as DE will make your dog or cat more thirsty. You can add some fresh chicken stock, 100% aloe vera juice, rooibos tea, etc. My dogs get all three liquids added to their meal once a day.
