๐ฟโจ Letโs Talk About Diatomaceous Earth! โจ๐ฟ
You mightโve seen it on our shelves or heard other pet parents talking about it โ but what is Diatomaceous Earth, and why do we love it so much?
Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is a naturally occurring, soft sedimentary rock made from the fossilised remains of tiny aquatic organisms called diatoms. When ground into a fine powder, it becomes a gentle but powerful wellness tool for pets and their people!
Hereโs why itโs a favourite in the natural pet world:
๐ฆด Supports Digestive Health
Food-grade DE can help cleanse the digestive system by gently removing parasites, toxins, and other nasties. Many pet parents use it as a natural dewormer.
๐ชฑ Natural Parasite Control
Sprinkle it in bedding or around the home to help deter fleas, mites, and other creepy crawlies โ without harsh chemicals. It works by dehydrating pests, making it super effective and pet-safe (when used correctly!).
๐ฑ Detoxifies Naturally
Some believe DE can help bind and remove heavy metals and toxins from the body, supporting overall wellbeing from the inside out.
๐๏ธ Household Helper
Itโs not just for pets โ DE is also a brilliant natural deodoriser for pet beds, litter trays, carpets, and more!
