What Is Diatomaceous Earth for Pets?
Diatomaceous earth (DE) is a finely ground powder derived from the fossilised remains of microscopic freshwater organisms called diatoms. Food-grade DE is safe for pets and has been used for decades as a natural supplement to support overall wellness. Unlike chemical treatments, DE works through physical action—its microscopic sharp edges help to cleanse the digestive tract and maintain a healthy internal environment. Wholistic Pet Organics offers a pure, food-grade DE powder sourced from freshwater deposits. It contains silica, a mineral that supports normal bone structure, healthy skin, and a shiny coat. This multi-use powder can be taken internally or used topically for pet care needs.

Safety and Dosage Guidelines
Always consult your veterinarian before adding any supplement to your pet’s diet, especially if your pet is pregnant, nursing, or on medication. Start with a low dose and monitor your pet’s reaction. The typical dosage for dogs and cats is ½ to 1 teaspoon per day, depending on weight. Do not exceed the recommended amount. When using topically, ensure the powder is dusted lightly and not inhaled by your pet. Keep the container sealed in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness. Important: Only use food-grade diatomaceous earth. Do not use filter-grade or pool-grade DE, which is chemically treated and harmful to pets.
How to Use Diatomaceous Earth Powder
This versatile powder is easy to incorporate into your pet’s routine. For internal use, mix the recommended dose into wet food or water. The powder is tasteless, so most pets accept it without fuss. For external use, dust lightly onto your pet’s coat and massage in, avoiding eyes and nose. The powder has a high absorption rate compared to chewable supplements, making it an efficient way to deliver nutrients. Each 113g container holds approximately 32 scoops, with a scoop size of about 1 tablespoon. Start with a small amount and gradually increase to the full dose.
