Let's talk Diatomaceous Earth

What is Diatomaceous Earth?
Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is actually the fossilised remains of a tiny marine organism called a diatom. They are collected from river and ocean sediment and then purified into a white dust that looks a lot like talcum powder.

When you look at DE under a microscope you can see that it has microscopic razor sharp edges - it sort of looks like a ninja star. These sharp edges are bad news for parasites and insects, but are completely harmless to you and your dog.

External use: natural insecticide
Diatomaceous Earth can be used to eradicate pests like fleas, cockroaches, beetles and bedbugs. The sharp edges pierce the exoskeleton of these pests, humanely killing them on contact. Because this is a physical intervention, it doesn’t involve any chemicals or environmental toxins. For this reason it’s often used in the rearing of organic animals.

To use: liberally sprinkle DE powder over your dogs coat and gently rub it in. Repeat over several weeks if necessary, and try not to get any in you or your dogs eyes or nose as it can cause irritation.

What to buy
There are a few grades of DE that you can purchase for home use. Avoid the pool and non-calcined grades (which are toxic), and only use human grade DE.

Purchasing DE is easy, and it is considerably cheaper to buy in bulk on the internet. A quick google search will come up with lots of good options. Don’t worry about buying Organic DE, it’s more expensive and exactly the same as the regular human grade DE.

Remember that like any infestation, it’s essential to completely remove all the offending pests from the home. Sprinkle it on carpet, dog bedding and couches, and leave for an hour before vacuuming it up. Make sure to keep your dogs away while you do this.
Internal use: anti-parasitic
DE can also be used to eliminate harmful parasites and worms from the digestive tract. And even better, adding DE to your dogs diet can improve both their digestion and immunity.

Here’s how it works. As DE moves through the stomach and digestive tract, only a tiny amount is actually absorbed into the body. The rest is flushed out of the body, taking bad bacteria, fungi, heavy metals, and other toxins with it. Any larger parasites that come into contact with the DE are killed on contact and passed through the urine

Just wanted to let you all know about an app called biscuit a few students told me about it and I've given it a go and it works. Biscuit is an app where U get points for walks and those points work up to rewards and vouchers like £10 at Asda , Costa and many more, it does have the odd glitch and can only have max of two dogs registered but we all walk so why not give it a go

Something to get yr furry friend into the Christmas spirit

Pumpkin Spice Dog Cookies for Christmas 🎃✨🍪🐾
These Pumpkin Spice Dog Cookies are the perfect festive treat to celebrate the holiday season with your furry friend! Made with dog-safe, wholesome ingredients, they’re easy to bake and packed with flavor.

Ingredients:
1 cup pure pumpkin purée (unsweetened, not pie filling)
1 large egg
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil
1 1/2 cups oat flour (or whole wheat flour)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for flavor)
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger (optional, for a festive spice)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, egg, applesauce, and olive oil. Stir until smooth.

3. Add Dry Ingredients
Gradually mix in the oat flour, cinnamon, and ginger (if using) until a thick dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time.

4. Shape the Cookies
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Use holiday-themed cookie cutters (like trees, stars, or bones) to cut out shapes. Alternatively, roll small balls of dough and flatten them slightly.

5. Bake
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until firm and golden brown.

6. Cool Completely
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before offering them to your dog.

Storage:
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw before serving.

Pumpkin: High in fiber and beta-carotene, supporting digestion and overall health.

I just want to make u all aware this has nothing to do with me as I'm a training company helping puppies to adults, fun to aggressive behaviour.
Thank
