Yes, you can use Diatomaceous Earth for Dogs and Cats by lightly applying it to your pet's coat to help repel fleas. Diatomaceous earth is light and dusty, so some pet parents prefer alternatives like Buck Mountain Parasite Dust, which combines DE with other ingredients for easier application. When considering diatomaceous earth for dogs and cats, be sure to use only food-grade DE and avoid contact with your pet’s eyes or nose. Remember, effective flea control also involves treating your home and environment — see our articles Top Ten Tips to Help You with Flea and Tick Control and Natural Flea Control Solutions for more suggestions.
