Can it be used on cats? What about for ear mites?
Ann Pane check this channel’s playlist section for ear mite remedies. Dr. Jones already made a couple of videos on that.
I'm all for Natural and non toxic! But being disabled and having 5 cats-there's just NO way I could do this. Thank you though for this and ALL you do❗❤🐈🐕
TY so much for ALL of your helpful advice! I use DA on my fur babies and I found a little trick. I add some of the powder to a small sock and use it to gently powder them all over, it really helps to get into those hidey places where the fleas like to go. Afterwards I give the babies lots of love and really work it into their coat. We use it in our yards and have converted our neighbors, it really helps!
We used diatomaceous earth on our animals and in our home and it is the only thing that has worked so well for flea control on our animals and home. I HIGHLY recommend it and we drowned our home in it and we were all fine.
You are the best vet ever... You actually care more about the welfare of animals than being greedy...
I love your combination of science, ethics, nature & altruism.
Thank you so very much, from all the animals in my family, & me. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🇬🇧💞🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
You are so kind. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely agree!!!
Most vets out there just want to sell people that topical poison to put on their furbabies.
When those people's critters come up with brain tumours & such, I bet they'll wish they hadn't used the poisons.
Yes right... !
A true vet will never push a topical insecticide on any animal , unless necessary . I like the Honesty that you give to your viewers and to your pet owners patients .
Exactly
Tula says "Thanks for not poisoning me."
👍
My kitty is a sweetie until I try to give her a bath nope nope nope
I've used this before. I never had a problem with it. I also used it on the carpet and furniture and it does work but not instantly. I also used it in the garden and lawn because it works well on ants 🐜. The food grade version can be ingested by animals and humans also. It makes a great dewormer and gets rid of intestinal parasites. You should move to the USA because we love our alternative medicine doctors and vets!!!
Glad I saw your comment as I adopted a 3 1/2 year old GSD and he has tapeworm, probably had them when I got him but I’m giving him DE food grade and it’s working!!
@@lc5346how do you know it’s working bro also how much do you give him and what brand? Thanks!
@@lc5346how much and how often is it added to the food?
That's what I use. Good to hear it from a vet who cares about the dog more than the dollar.🐕
Thank you!!!Have used this for years! Sprinkle it on doggies beds, blankets and around. Before the flea season begins, I start at my back door, then work out from there. On fold of stairs, on patio, and then circumference of yard outward. We live in rural area with animal life and their fleas are huge. Weather conditions must be dry, if it rains application goes again. I buy a huge bag at feed store to do this. Apply both back and front areas, but primarily where dogs most activity. I hope this helps anyone with those terrible fleas.
Works in cats?
@@martinabueno2740 YES cats!!
Thank you for this info!
Do you sprinkle it around and leave it on the dogs bed and floor, or do you sprinkle it and clean up after a day ( Dr. Jones suggests to shower the dog after 24 hours ) ?
Most of what I out on Dogs will fall as they move around going for water, food, etc. Like when one applies those chemicals down their spine, some of this powder will fall down to the skin, I leave it on. Do this after a bath and when they are well dried. Same with Beds, blankets and around their beds. Most of it will get cleaned or swiped away when I clean around the area, but pretty much leave it until I bathe and wash again in a month or if they get soiled. Thank you
Dr Jones please can you demonstrate how to apply it to cats. Thank you.
Also is it okay to use on strays that don't get bathed?
U apply it same way.... ive seen people use it on cats dont need to bath them from what ive seen
Something I do to help fight fleas in the house: I put everything in a hot dryer for about 5 mins... Fleas can't live in hot dry environments, so this kills them quick; from adults to eggs!
It's been 6 years since I've used food grade diatomaceous earth for flea control and deworming my Maltese. It also works for human parasite control. My veterinarian here in Israel learned from me and gave it to her daughter who had a bad reaction to the pharmaceutical medication meant to kill her abdominal parasites.
Where can I buy this
Do you know if it also works for ticks?
@@lupsy54 yes, should work for ticks
How often do you apply it?
I've been using this for years!! Haven't seen a flea since!!(:
That's great!
Can u help me understand how to use on cats? Also for worms how to give in for thank u
How often do you apply it? I have two cats with fleas.
@@Floppycats about once a week or so . I usually do it outside and put the powder in one of those new mustard or ketchup bottles and squirt it on them and fluff it around.
And make sure it is food grade
YES!!! Also works for tick control! It’s brilliant! You are too!!!🐾🐾💜🐾🐾💚
We moved into a property that was infested with fleas. We used D.E all over the house and it worked a treat! We also use it on live stock and for intestinal parasites too xxx
That's great to hear!
Where can I buy d.e.?
@@virginiazequeira6258 Amazon. Be sure to buy "food grade" though.
@@virginiazequeira6258 I bought Diatomaceous Earth @ my local feed store (food grade).
@@samename6479 Check the bag, it might say equine on it. Meaning, for horses. I got a bag at Tractor Supply once and thought I was getting human grade food grade, but found out that it was for livestock. Not human grade. For around a litter box or for treating all the floorboards or furniture, it's ok. Plus lots of vacuuming. We had a flea infestation once and I think I vacuumed like, twice a day, everywhere in the house, for almost 3 months before there were no more fleas. Good luck with your D.E. experience!
Tula is such a great dog..she never seems to complain 🖒🐶😻
She is amazing.
We’ve used this for flea control and parasite control for years. It’s really great as a horse wormer. No more peaks and valleys of parasites.
Nice!❤️
I also use it orally for my dogs two times a year for 20 days to deworm my pets. Have never had a problem.
I mix mine with neem powder & Yarrow powder to also calm the itchy skin & heal small wounds. It works like charm & smells very nice & gentle. We use an old fat makeup brush to apply & also sprinkle it on the pet beds, on our carpets & upholstery & vacuum regularly. Viola! No fleas!
Good to know, thank you.
What and where do find those powder
What measurements do you use together please?
Him: “I use this fine white powder”
Me: “ah, I see you’re a man of culture as well”
😂😂😂
I have been using it for years. The caution is to make sure it is the food/horticulture grade not the pool grade. The pool grade is highly toxic and used in pool filters.
We place some of it in our rug deodorizer and let it sit before vacuuming. We've been using it over 20 years on our dogs. We get ours at the Tractor Supply Company or any local farm and tractor.
I also helps get grease off of them. Must be food grade. I believe it’s made from fossilized plankton. It’s also used if it’s mfood grade as a dewormer. I use it on my veggie plants all the time. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️🐾❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾💪🏻🖖🏻
I use it around my cat litter boxes to keep beetles out during the summer when it's hot and they're looking for moisture. it also works well along door jams and windowsills to keep the ants out. I will never apply the topical insecticides to any of my pets. Diatomaceous earth is so useful, I love it! I found it at my local lawn & garden store in the fertilizer section. :)
Please make sure it is food grade for use on and around pets! If it was at a lawn and garden center they may carry the dangerous type of DE. It is processed and contains toxins. Food/human grade is the safe one 😊
@@desertdweller4316 I researched the brand thoroughly before I purchased. It's safe.
And why wouldn’t you use it topical on pet? A little drying but fleas carry disease and can cause anemia. Not many other options out there. Fleas are resilient and don’t die easily
@@desertdweller4316I echo your comment/suggestion!😊
I've used DE on my chickens, ducks & for ants but never thought to use it on my dogs. Great idea. DE is wonderful. I've never lost a chicken or duck from DE. If your worried about them ingesting it make sure to have fresh water available, its safe for humans to use as drink.
I can say, from diatomaceous dust cloud experience, it caused little to no ill effect. It was my first time doing it, there were 4 dogs and a bunch of cats and i took them out to the yard and dusted them but they would shake themselves and it was an absolute cloud! I did use a lot because most were long haired and i was waging war againt a flea infestation that was so bad and so resistant to pesticides, you could directly spray them and they were fine. So i went crazy. But it worked! I definitely breathed in a bunch of it and no issues.
Nowadays i go a lot lighter, but food grade diatomaceous earth and a dawn bath once a week knocks out flea infestation. Its a harsh routine, i feed my pets fish oil to help with the dry skin, but its temporary and better than poisons and constant flea battle
I used it for awhile on my dog and her coat became super dry. She started scratching more from the dry skin than any fleas. So use caution. It is not for my dog. I make homemade flea repellent with lemons and apple cider vinegar. Good for the coat and effective at repelling fleas.
I did not find it to be effective as well as drying out their skin. I wish it did! I hate the toxic chemical drugs.
I bought food grade from two different suppliers thinking that maybe I received something that was substandard from the first supplier.
I read as soon as you get it wet it doesn't work so I made sure to spread it around the house and didn't wash the floors for 3 days, leaving the powder there, dry. Still, last year I ended up having to buy the pills because they really were suffering with the fleas. I hated having to give them those pills!
@@blaze3884 Frequent vacuuming is the best thing to prevent fleas as well as washing their bedding at least once per week. People should be worried about the next generation of fleas instead of the ones on their dog. I make my own repellent with lemons and apple cider vinegar. Works great.
@Mama Bear You can mix up a flea powder with DE that is easier on their skin. 1 part neem powder, 1 part yarrow powder, 2 parts DE. Neem helps run off the fleas, and the yarrow powder is soothing to the skin. For dogs--but never for cats--you can add a few drops of eucalyptus oil.
@@mamabear9389 can you offer your recipe, please?
@@Floppycats Slice lemons thinly with skin on, cover with water and boil for about ten minutes. Add a bit of rosemary. Let it cool and strain it. You can use it like this. I just put some on my fingers and then rub into the fur. You can also mix with a bit of apple cider vinegar.
I’ve used D.E. on my dogs with a few drops of lavender essential oil: 100% effective; zero problems. Thanks Dr. Jones for the confirmation.
The best flea control or elimination, in my case at least, is coconut laundry soap bars. Here in Brazil it's very easy to find.
It kills all the fleas on the animal! Believe me. It does.
The vacuum cleaner is your best ally in your fight against flea eggs. They hide in rugs, carpets, in the blankets/beds your pets sleep on, and if you have wooden floors keep an eye open for gaps between the planks of wood. There are products you could use on the floor. Fun (maybe not that fun) fact: flea eggs can live for over a year as eggs.
I got rid of the rugs and my pet's beds and blankets.
I have a cat. They sleep anywhere. Your bed, couches, chairs, boxes...
I, personally, don't like carpets or rugs. So I never put them back. If you do, maybe have them professionally cleaned.
Thanks for that info!
Yes, I got a kick out of your "not so fun-fact"! Been there - I actually was going over all of the piping on our couch to make sure there were no eggs anywhere; had to buy special hand held vacuums for some of the places that had to be cleaned. So glad that is over. Another thing you can do as far as bedding or, in our case, cloth toys that our one cat was really attached to: If it's small enough to go in a plastic bag and then in the freezer, put it in there, for like 2 weeks or so then launder them when they come out of the deep freeze. I am not sure if that will get the eggs (I think it does) but it gets them at every other stage. You know, if the eggs are laying around somewhere and someone walks past, the vibration of their steps can actually trigger the flea to break out of the shell, and then you have one jumping around till it gets on the cat. I think someone said very hot temperatures kills them in the egg stages, so sometimes we would put the heat on (this was in July/August/Sept for us) and keep it on for several hours at a time, along with a woodstove fire to heat up the house and kill any eggs I didn't get with the vacuum or with hand mopping the floor. What a nightmare. I agree with you about carpets - don't have any wall-to-wall ones, but I do have an area rug in two rooms. Does this coconut laundry soap have a name? Is it Zote?
@@TerrieJohnstown 👍
I've been using diatomaceous earth (food-grade) for years. And it has been very effective. Thank you for confirming. I appreciate all your videos. I've even used it, when the conditions are right, around the foundation of my house.
We’re do buy this product
Jovalle Puhrmann Agreed! I use it outside across the door jams of my house and along the outside windowsills to keep ants out of my house. It's cheap and effective. :)
@@jameswinfree3175 I bought the bag I have now online from swansonvitamins.com
@@helpfulnatural I'm blessed with a concrete floor screen house where I can let my cat enjoy the outdoors. I sprinkle a little around the perimeter.
@@jameswinfree3175 I've just bought 2 kg off ebay for £11.98.
Or 1 KG for £6.90
These prices include P&P
I'm very impressed with that!
This gives me enough for my 2 dogs, 11 cats, the whole house, garden, car AND give some away to other pet ppl to try. as well as have a good stock for future use.
It's food grade as well....
I use on my cats been 1.5 years. It's organic food grade. When an out break happens I use a small amount sometimes daily. The one cat licks it off it can be immediately. I have put in the carpet. I think the flea liquids are really bad. This stuff does work! I am using the CBD oil from you keeps the coat shiny.
This video came just at the right time. I had just been thinking of searching your channel for natural flea control products. You must have sensed it! :-)
Glad it was helpful!
@@VeterinarySecrets how do you grade coconut oil as topical pest control method doctor?
@@MantisShrimp80 fleas hate it, don't hesitate to use it.
It works in your carpet, rugs & pet beds, all natural, non toxic. It also works on your lawn to kill flees and nourishes your soil. Food grade is also available for human, (& all mammals), consumption for purpose of detoxification and anti parasitic treatment. My animal friends & I consume it daily in water or moist food for detox, anti parasitic & calcium. Organic cattle ranchers use it food for anti parasitic & also calcium. Natural is always better.
Tula so stinkin cute! Commin up on a half a mill subbies doc! Woohoo! 👍😋
Yes, we're on our road to 500k! Please keep sharing so we'll reach more people. ;-) Thanks for watching!
I do this on my dogs and use on my chickens as well. My only complaint is when they decide to shake right next to you it does create the dust cloud. I definitely recommend over those harmful drops for sure. Thanks again friend!!!
Excellent post thank you.
I just finished covering my goats, chickens, dogs and cats in DE- I use it to kill hard shelled insects in the garden too!! We use it to detoxify ( banana/ kale/apple milkshakes)ourselves too!!!
Great stuff! Love it!
Never would have thought of this one...thank you
thank you dr jones
Thanks Doc.😊👍🏻
Hope you all are doing well in BC.
Have a wonderful summer❤️🌹
That is my choice in my garden and a great deterrent Thank you very much!
I bought a huge bag of it years ago from store where you buy feed for livestock, I sprinkled on yard and against house and never had a roach, ant, spider enter my house.
Margie Provencio I have roach baits everywhere but I still see small cockroach baby entering my house so I bought DE hopefully will prevent it thanks 😊
Does this also work for ticks?
Thank you.
We really thank you very much for your advice on dogs and cats i have dogs and so far everything works great. God Bless You.
Thank you for being straight forward about
Welcome
Thank you Dr Jones. I am so holistic with my family and our fur family. You are awesome. Answer to my prayers. 🥰🥰
Got the book, thanks Dr Jones!
You’re welcome! I hope you’ll find it helpful.
Thanks doc,appreciate you so much. Bought your book,loving it.
Thanks!😊
Thank you Dr for this great video! I don’t have problems with fleas on my Frenchie, however, I will purchase the food grade product just to be safe for the upcoming hot months!
Another super video! I've been using it for years on my furbabies as a flea treatment and on their food to fight off parasite infections. Also great to use on the veggie patch at this time of the year. Thank you.
My dog had fleas for the first year or 2 of her life. I used DE as well as trifexus from vet. I started researching & found out about raw fed dogs. I started raw feeding my golden at a year old.she is 13 1/2 . Hasn't had fleas for over 10 years. I Don't use any flea prevention. She has nice soft skin & that isn't what fleas are looking for.
Thank you Dr for your ❤ for dogs
Tula so wants to please you! She's adorable!
Thank you 🙂
🌼 I occasionally treat my yard with it too. It seems to help a lot! I also diffuse cedarwood and lemongrass.
Tula is so precious ❤️
Tula is such an angel🐶...she’s ssssso good & lovable💞🧸🙈 as always, Thank-You Dr. Jones for an awesome home remedy for those annoying fleas!
Thank you Sr this is what I was looking for.
You are welcome
Thank you!
The key words here are "food grade" DE. The swimming pool stuff is what can really tear up your sinuses, eyes and lungs. I'm assuming the pool filter kind is ground less fine but from experience it is pretty finely ground!
Good information Dr. Jones.
Thank you.
Wonderful Information Dr.!! Your Knowledge is Incredible!! Thank You Sooo Much!! Stay Safe and Well!!
Thank you:)
Excellent video cant wait to try this. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
you are awesomer! thank you for being on youtube and helping me help my dogs and cats and thank you for your free book its fabulous!! You're The BEST!!!
That's great to hear, thank you so much:)
thank you so much you are the best!
You are such a loving awesome vet. Thank you!
Thank you!
It sounds good I will try it where do you buy it
Yes, I like to see the video on how much to give them for worming them
Can you please advise whether I should apply to face and if so how? Btw, I love your videos!!!!
Really love watching your vids, Dr. Jones! Always something interesting and helpful! As a rescue mom for cats, you've saved me so much money! I can't thank you enough! THANKS for thinking of the pets FIRST and the $ as a 'bonus' to your job! Also; I'm so tired of the toxic products and foods that are being marketed for our fur babies these days! Thank goodness you have much better recommendations and products!! THANK YOU!
I'm so happy to hear my videos are helpful, thank you:)
You are amazing. Every issue that our Lhasa Apso has you have covered. I am a natural health provider for humans and your recommend things that I have in my house and that I recommend to my patients. Thank you 💝
Can I use this on my cat and not give her a bath afterwards? Thanks for the video - Tula is adorable!
Thank you for sharing natural ways to keep our furry babies gealthy and happy!
Thanks Doc another must have me thinks!!!
You're welcome.
Thanks so much for sharing! Love your channel! I’ve been able to use this natural remedy on my dog & cat!
You are so welcome!
THANK YOU
I discovered this last year!! It made me avoid chemicals and fleas in the house.
Terre de diatomée in french.
Love your website & when I get another dog I'm going with the Diatomaceous Earth you recommended
Thanks much Dr. Andrewz
Sorry got you name wrong, Dr. Jones & thanks for the link for the Diatomaceous Earth you use
Hi DR was wondering if salmon is oil good for my dogs scratching and lickiing I love your videos
Not likely to ever breathe this stuff in, because it is very sticky to surfaces, and has dense qualities. Thank you very good video, I am doing this.
You are the best Vet EVER! I have been searching for something that is safe for my animals. I’ve always been concerned about having them in just any type of chemical to kill, fleas, even topical ointments.
I have an English bulldog who has very sensitive skin due to food, allergies, which I have under control after two years of experimenting with his diet. So very reluctant to put anything on his skin.
I have a little corgi who has some itchy spots under his arms. Do you think this will help dry out that area and it may prevent it from being so itchy?
Thank so much Dr Jones, I will get it , my 3 paw -girls and me will be confident and safe from those fleas...have a good weekend....Blessings
Thank you for watching! You too!
Good girl Tula!🐕
Love your dog nice and calm
I have been using DE on the dogs since one of your previous videos and it works a treat.
Tula is lovely! Thanks Dr Jones, you’re a great vet and a nice guy!👍
How often do you apply it?
Thanks, Dr. Jones. Tula looks great. As always we appreciate your knowledge, your heart for the Practice of Medicine applied to animals. Keep Well.
My pleasure
Yes! I love diatomaceous earth! I use it for fleas on our 2 dogs and 2 cats. It's helped eliminate fleas successfully a number of times.
How often did it d you apply it?
Sending hugs and Gratitude from Nova Scotia. Juno (our itchy Chow/Shar Pei rescue) has a much better life because of you!.
That's great to hear.
Yeah my dogs don’t enjoy taking a bath either they want to get out. It is the best time then they’re very happy and excited. Thanks for the video. I really appreciate it. I’m sure we all do. God bless you for being a good honest veterinarian that really wants to help.🥰❤️
Thank you! So do you only apply to the back and side?
I haven't found this has worked at all. this year has been a terrible terrible year for fleas in my dogs
I love the way you so patiently explain in detail what we need to know....Thank You. Dr Jones; could you help with hot spots... my dog is chewing himself (and me ) crazy and I can't figure out what is causing it; I can't find anything on him; I comb him out everyday, and I make a natural tonic of cedar, olive, ginko, cammomille, alittle home made acv, and coconut oil weekly, and (we call it "spa night") and give him a sponge bath with it, as he hates getting wet; I works great for a while, and then he's right back at it... He just started chewing on himself a few weeks ago... He is a puppy mill victim, and he has a few issues; and I'm wondering if this isn't an emotional nervous thing. How do I stop it; and is there any natural product; herb that might help? I've had a few dogs; and have never had this problem before; it's perplexing to say the least, and I'm worried that he will cause secondary infections.
Thank you very much doctor
You're welcome.
Much appreciated
Thank you so much for saving me money on yearly vacs i love your posts thanks
You're welcome.
Hi i already knew about it but few of my doubts been cleared in this video....thanks a lot...
Love from India....Very first time to ur channel and nice knowing u and ur channel, just subscribed
thank you!
thanks so much for this. its great to have your ok on this. ive got two new rescue cats and dont want to poison them with chemicals
You're welcome! Please feel free to share my videos. ;-)
Hi doc! So glad I found you :) question is it ok to add a bit in your pets water? Will that help in any way? Or not recommended? Thank you in advance
Love the natural remedies over the insecticides. Thank you for this video. Its great.
Glad you liked it.
@@VeterinarySecrets I currently don't have DE , do u recommend apple cider vinegar ?
Hey Dr. Jones
I have done the subscription and the bell, plus link (a few times).. I still didn't receive the copy of your book. I was hoping for it. I have 4 large dogs and 3 Cats. This book would be very helpful to me
I've use DE but never taken dog a bath after 24hrs... then I apply it again in a week or 2... I even dust outside where she goes potty... thank You Dr. Hope I receive a reply.. thank You so much You are such a Blessing 💞
This is great. Also, nematodes and then later applying all natural herbal granules in the yard REALLY helps too. If you live in the south like me, that is a must...if not you can probably just get away with the DE alone. So glad Yah gave us natural ways and caring professionals sharing, to deal with life's problems effectively.
Thanks Dr.
Most welcome!
