Diatomaceous Earth to get rid of fleas?

The only kind of DE you should use with a dog is food grade.

The other kind is for swimming pool filters and can hurt a dog.

My dogs are inside so I don't use it on them for fleas just because of the dust. I have used it in my carpet. I use it all the time internally for my animals as a wormer. As a wormer, it works like a charm. It seems to take a little longer but is much safer then the chemical worms.

I feed it to my dogs, cats, chickens, and even now a new pig.

Ive heard positive an negative things about it. The fact that it is natural is a good thing, however, it depends on the area you live in and the possibility of infestation. Example: My friend uses it. she lives in a suburban community and her puppers only go out in her backyard. It has worked fine for her. Although she has had several ticks on her dogs. We live on a large farm and my dogs are always out with us running the property. I gave it a shot...once. When Cera came in loaded with ticks ( and several fleas) that was enough for me.

I do like the fact that it is natural...so if it works for you and your pets..i say go for it.
