Diatomaceous Earth

Diatomaceous earth is a true natural wonder

• It can be used for external (topical) application or ingestion (oral)

Diatomaceous earth consists of the siliceous remains of ancient algae, now found in the form of a soft, white siliceous sediment called diatomite. It forms over millions of years through the fossilization of vast numbers of siliceous algae at the bottoms of lakes and oceans. Today, diatom sediments are found in these dried-up areas, and by crushing these sediments, we obtain diatomaceous earth.

Diatomaceous earth is a natural source of numerous minerals and trace elements, amorphous silicon dioxide, and small amounts of iron, potassium, calcium, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, and selenium. With its valuable ingredients, diatomaceous earth can support metabolism and the health of skin, coat, nails, bones, and joints in dogs, and aid your pet's body in nutrient absorption - thereby positively influencing their overall well-being!

Benefits of Internal Use

Diatomaceous earth can promote collagen production

The silicon contained in diatomaceous earth positively influences collagen formation. Studies have shown that collagen concentration in animals was twelve percent higher if they were previously given a small amount of highly bioavailable silicon. Collagen improves bone flexibility and supports ligaments and tendons.

Diatomaceous earth - beneficial for fur and claws.

Silicon is an important building block of a dog's coat, fur, and claws. Additionally, it ensures strong bones, teeth, tendons, and ligaments, as silicon is a crucial component of teeth, nails, and fur.

Benefits of External Use

Can be used to prevent parasites (fleas, mites, lice) in dogs and cats - for this, diatomaceous earth should be massaged into the dog's coat right down to the skin. If flea infestations go undetected for long, you can sprinkle all sleeping areas and dog beds with diatomaceous earth and let it take effect. Then vacuum. *

*The tiny, microscopic, sharp edges of diatom shells are dangerous to the chitinous shell of parasites. They scratch the insect's shell and cause dehydration, typically occurring between 24 to 72 hours.

If your dog has a severe parasite infestation (endoparasites: e.g., worms, protozoa > giardia, and ectoparasites: e.g., fleas or mites) or if they have chronic unexplained coat issues, consult a veterinarian.
