A natural alternative to chemical pet pest prevention + treatment

After having been in the doggie boutique biz for about five years, it's not often that I come across a product that seems entirely different and provides a natural solution that I hadn't come across before. Today, I learned about a new product that has be super excited (and of course, I immediately placed an order)!

The product is Wholistic Diatomaceous Earth (DE) - which consists of the dried skeletons of microscopic sea creatures called diatoms. Wholistic Diatomaceous Earth is a safe, non-chemical alternative to chemical dewormers and is an effective adjunct to any worming program. Wholistic Diatomaceous Earth (DE) works by mechanically destroying parasites and is a safe, non-chemical alternative to chemical pest control.

Composed of the fossilized remains of microscopic sea shells called DIATOMS, Wholistic Diatomaceous Earth (DE) kills insects by puncturing the insect’s exoskeleton (outer protective layer) eventually causing death. But being entirely created by mother nature, it poses no risk or harm to the environment or to our pets. It is designated foodgrade - and can be fed as a deworming agent, sprinkled on carpets & furniture for flea control, or used to bathe dogs with fleas. All entirely free of toxic chemicals - how cool is that?

Since (under the guidance of a holistic vet) I very, very sparingly use chemical pest control on my dogs - I am super excited about this find.

Wholistic Diatomaceous Earth will hit BWH shelves in a day or two. A 5oz container will be available for $12.95.
