I know, that's why I repped ya!I'm just razzing ya, midnight. Have a great weekend!
well dude, you go ahead and enjoy your mineral salt deodorant and I'll go ahead and use the speedstick equivalent.
First of all it's not "mineral salt" and secondly, there IS no equivalent. Have you bothered to study it? It is 100% effective on ALL invertebrates. No matter the location, climate, whatever. PLUS, it kills heartworms and also ALL worms a pet might get. Does frontline? NO.
I really don't care what you do with your own animals, but if you really care about them you'll study garbage like frontline and others, and get these toxins out of their lives.
Zoom and Skull? DE kills heartworms and worms in animals because they ingest it. Most high-end pet foods add DE to the food, just for this. When animals lick their coat, they ingest the DE. Put it on your dog like you would the old flea powders, put it in his bedding, etc. A 4 pound bag will last you 3-4 years. Yes, years. By the way, I have never met a veterinarian who knows anything about this. They are always stunned when I demonstrate it.
Shogun: I am glad to see you can paste from one of the links I gave you. Here's further information from the other one: DE is microscopic fossilized diatoms. For any creature with an exoskeleton, (insects) it's deadly. It would be like you crawling and walking around on a football field full of razor blades, not a jungle gym.
The DE cuts up the exoskeleton, "bleeds" the insects out. Dehydrates them almost instantly. It works very rapidly.
However, vertebrates such as dogs, cats, humans, and even you Shogun are completely immune to it, it isn't in any way harmful to us. As I said, high-end pet foods have DE in them.
Let's see, frontline costs what, $20 bucks now? For each application? One 4 pound bag of DE lasts years and costs $12-16 bucks depending on how you get it shipped. And works BETTER, isn't toxic, and works on ALL invertebrates not just fleas and ticks. AND kills any and all worms your pet might get. It's a far better product and a far smarter solution to a multitude of pet pest issues.
But that's okay, sheeple like to do what the rest of the herd does. I got no issue with that.
Yes, but never give THAT grade of DE to the animals!Zoom and Skull? DE kills heartworms and worms in animals because they ingest it. Most high-end pet foods add DE to the food, just for this.

I used to use a DE filled filter system for my aquarium, cleanest water I have ever seen.
I use a little neem oil for ticks but there is enough natural predation here thats only a couple of weeks a year.No heartworm carrying skeeters either.No fleas other than sand fleas along the rivers.what do you use for fleas both cats and dogs....i used promeris last year. it is strange it paralizes the jaws of the fleas and they starve to death...jumping about the whole time, so if you dont get it on them before the fleas...the dogs and cats go nuts with the jumping fleas.
do you rotate meds for fleas and if so how?
do you give heartworm pills? i do but only every 6 months and only as long as the breeding cycle of skeeters is still going on. i stop in the winter.
so what have you found best for indoor and outdoor dogs?
Maybe. The label should let you know. However if it's to be used outdoors, pets are going to ingest it anyway so it's probably okay.i think i have some of the de.....use it in the garden....never considered it on pets....the promius.....took the hair off roland....so that is out....now can i use the garden grade de?
Garlic is a good repellent, but doesn't kill, doesn't break the breeding cycle. Will repel mosquitoes, fleas and ticks on both you and the pets. The garlique supplement is the concentrated active ingredient there, does it all without the odor.fed my dogs lots of fresh garlic in their food.

I never see it anywhere. My cats pick it up in their litter box, where I always keep a goodly amount of it mixed in with their litter, and in their bedding where I maintain a light dusting once or twice a week. On dogs, same thing. Keep it maintained in their bedding, and dust them with it after they dry out completely from every bath.Diatomaceous Earth It is 100% natural, totally harmless to all vertebrates (humans, pets, etc) and will also de-worm dogs and cats.

Do you have any issues with it being tracked through the house, all over the furniture, etc.?
I've got a Boxer and I just wondered if that short coat wouldn't hold the DE in enough.
Rub it into the fur. Brush it in. My short-haired cats get that treatment every couple to three weeks during bug season. Plus they're picking it up all the time, from their bedding and litterboxes.I've got a Boxer and I just wondered if that short coat wouldn't hold the DE in enough.
I enjoy helping. I love animals and deplore all of the toxins and chemicals people, mostly unnecessarily, put into their lives.I appreciate the info, MM.

To be fair to dogs, I long ago decided not to own any. I cannot give them the type of life they deserve, I would neglect them far too much -- attention wise, playing wise, walks wise, etc..I enjoy helping.

Want a slightly used Boxer with animal aggression issues?
She's fixed and awesome with people ...
