For the best effect

Once a dog or cat pick up fleas, it can be difficult to get rid of the infestation with natural flea remedies. A dog or cat will bring fleas into the home causing fleas and eggs to fall on the carpet, pet bed, and furniture. Wherever fleas land they can breed, so it’s important to think they can be everywhere.

Diatomaceous earth must remain in contact with the fleas to continue working effectively. The diatom’s porous nature dehydrates the flea. Because of the diatom’s nature, diatomaceous earth needs to be dry while it’s in contact with the fleas to be effective.

Keep your pet’s skin moisturised 

If your dog has sensitive and/or dry skin we recommend supplementing their diet with edible oil. After about 2 or 3 days you’ll want to bathe your dog. It’s recommended not to bathe dogs more than once a month since it dries out their skin, it is best to use a soap-free or moisturising shampoo. Afterwards, comb through your dog’s fur with a flea comb to help rid your dog of dead fleas.

Have patience with the process

You should treat your dog’s environment with diatomaceous earth twice a week, leaving it on for about 1 to 3 days. Repeat this process for 2 to 3 weeks. Diatomaceous earth is not a quick fix. It will take time for the flea to come into contact with the diatomaceous earth, and about 48 hours to dehydrate the flea it has come in contact with. The process may take up to three weeks, but it’s efficient, all-natural, and dog friendly.

 

  • Keep in mind diatomaceous earth may dry out your dog’s skin. It’s important to take the necessary steps to prevent or counteract the effects of dry skin. 
  • Be sure to treat your pet’s regular hangouts as well.
  • If you have breathing problems like asthma you may want to use a dust mask while applying.
  • It’s recommended to treat your dog on a monthly basis as a preventative measure.
  • Fleas must come into contact with the diatomaceous earth to work effectively.
  • Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth
  • Australian Made
