Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is not earth or dirt. It is the fossilized remains of microscopic shells created by one-celled aquastic plants (diatoms). Lumino Diatomaceous Earth for Pets is a non-toxic alternative that kills fleas by absorbing waxy fats and oils from their exoskeleton. After this coating is removed, the fleas can't retain water and die due to dehydration.

Just sprinkle it on your pet's coat and thoroughly brush it through all their fur before a walk, hike, or other potential flea exposure. You'll have to do this every time they go outside in a flea-ridden area and apply the DE before they come inside. After coming in contact with the diatomaceous earth, fleas may die in as little as 4 hours, though it is recommended to leave the DE for up to 48 hours to ensure its effectiveness.

A few of the many other uses for DE:

Lightly dust pets' bedding. DE will absorb oils, dirt, and smells. Helps keep kennel areas dry and odor free.
Because DE is an excellent source of silica, feeding it daily assists in maintaining your pet's coat and joint and ligament mobility, as well as boosting their immune system.
As a detox it will help to reduce flatulence and maintain the digestive tract.
In litter boxes it absorbs moisture and eliminates odors.
Add to your pet's toothpaste for a vigorous tooth polishing.
DE never expires if sealed and stored under dry conditions.
