New Study Reveals Shocking Concern & 5 Ways to Keep Fleas Off Your Pet w/o PESTICIDES 

I'm so sorry to hear that.

@@VeterinarySecrets what is your advice on procession caterpillars.

No vaccines either I hope.

YES TRUE IT HAPPEND TO MY DOG , I GAVE HIM A SHOWER QUICKLY , THE STUFF WAS PUT BY THE VET AS WE WHERE GOING BACK HOME FROM ABROAD . OSCAR STARTED TO WEE NON STOP SO I GO SUSPICIOUS AND ALL I COULD DO WAS TO WASH HIM. AFTER HE STOPPED AND RECOVERED , SU EVIL ON DEFENCELESS DOGS .

I’m so sorry that happened to you. I’ve had two dogs that developed seizures and I believe it was because I had used Frontline on them. My current dog has to be on medication to control the seizures but I no longer use any of those chemical types of flea/tick or heat worm drugs.

Hello, doctor. I'm sorry to bother you, but I've just watched your video about natural flee repellents and i have a very important question to ask you. I've been using revolution plus on my kitty for about 4 months as he had flees, after that I've stopped. I'm not sure if it's connected, but in December, a couple of months after I've stopped using it, a growth developed on his elbow, close to the armpit on his left arm. I know when it was because I've seen it on pictures as i take a lot. It looked like a little pimple at the time. I've noticed it myself in late February. It looked like one of the paw beans, about 5 mm pink and round, but on his elbow. I've monitored for a while and I've noticed a growth. Then I've scheduled an appointment with the vet, but before the appointment it turned brown and started to bleed from a side. The vet tested it and proscribed animax ointment. He said it wouldn't make it smaller, but being an antibiotic it will prevent infection. When he was testing it, he made it with a needle. I was hoping it's something simple so the water or whatever is inside would just come out and it will heal. Nothing came out as I've hoped. But over the next couple of days I've noticed it getting completely flat, just an excess skin around it forming a circle. The vet says that the test came in inconclusive. May be cancer, maybe not. His recommendation is a surgery. Over time it filled again and started to grow even more. Now it's about an inch and a half and doesn't have hair on it. It's bleeding a little. It's scary to look at. He licks it too. I'm scared to do the surgery due to his age. He's 16. And putting him under can be very risky. Yesterday I've noticed a new growth near it. It's directly under his armpit on the same arm therefore close to his heart. It's different though because it has hair and kind of like like a cyst. He has some on his body, he's a little chunky. I don't know whether that's a new one I am almost certain it's an old one though that was there for years without changing, but it's worth mentioning anyway. I cook for him for years, nothing in his diet has changed. But he does have a kidney problem so he's on low protein diet - 30% of protein 70% of everything else. I don't know if it can be related to that flee medicine or kidneys, or perhaps something else. I have stopped giving him that ointment as it does absolutely nothing but disturb him because i have to put a bandage on his arm so he wouldn't lick it off. I'm leaning towards a surgery because i don't see any other options. But maybe you have some information or theories that might help? As I've mentioned previously I'm scared to do the surgery due to his age. But if we need to, we need to. I'm currently saving money for his surgery and even started a gofund me for help. A few days ago he wasn't feeling good and was hiding under the bed in the bedroom. Wasn't hiding from me though, i think he was just more comfortable in a smaller room. He sat with me on the bed and eat. He was eating a little less but still eating. When i wasn't in a room he would always go under the bed. This was going on for two days. Now his behavior is back to normal, he's active and eating normally. God willing I'll save enough money for surgery soon, but if there's any option not to do it, i would gladly take it as giving him anesthesia is very dangerous. Please let me know if you have any theories on what it might be or how to treat it. Thank you in advance

I found out the hard way many years ago while living in Florida. These 'medicines' are POISON!!!!

Yup! Same with the seresto collars. Problem is people don’t believe you when you telll them. 😳

I stopped listening when he said he takes diamearth for "deworming" HIMSELF! Is this another Kennedy?

Thank you for your telling the truth. I’ve been trying to tell people. Had dogs that got sick from this poison.

This happened to my sweet little Mia - a black toy poodle. She was perfect and then I used that poison as advised by my vet. She immediately suffered a seizure and then progressively over the next 6 months completely lost the use of her legs and eventually her life. I've had to live with the guilt of having a perfect little dog to losing her within 7 months because I listened to a vet's advice. I would never use that poison again!!! Because that is exactly what it is.

😭❤️🙏

@jillm9801 I'm so sorry for what you had to go thru,made me cry reading your comment..... Please don't blame yourself~!! It's not your fault. You trusted your vet,who's supposed to know what's best,,you aren't to blame🌻 RIP sweet little Mia🙏🏻🩷

Absolutely heartbreaking 💔 - I am so sorry this happened to your beloved dogs. Please don’t blame yourselves. You both put your trust in a product your vets recommended, thought it would protect them from nasty parasites and would never have known it was that harmful 😢. None of it was your fault x

So sorry to anyone who's loved and lost a pet. It never gets easier. I still cry over my lost pets, if I try talking about them out loud. I can't even use lotion they say is for the most sensitive skin without a reaction.its not a surprise putting poison right on the skin of an animal is bad. I tried it on my German shepherd one time. She was allergic to fleas, poor thing. Anyway the smell was shockingly horrible and strong and I never used it again. I mean, if we can smell it, imagine it with their sense of smell. But, fleas are tortuous for them, heartworm is deadly. What do you do? Who do you trust?

@cathybrown4102. She's a baby doll❤

Yes, he is the patient...

Shows what an amazing Dog Daddy he IS and amazing individual by giving us the secrets so easily cured by God's nature

​@@danacaro-herman3530I've never seen a dog sit so still in my 68yrs, unless asleep or sick🧡

I want to steal her so bad❤. My Tula look alike passed DEC 24 2022, she was almost 23 yrs old. I never put chemicals on her little body, and she ate healthy, homemade meals, all fresh raw foods. I miss her so much

I’m sure that the tube was pre-filled with non toxic liquid like ice tea, etc. dosent matter to vets because they help pharmaceutical companies get rich. My personal opinion is…if the bag or can says “recommended by veterinarians” drop it and run far away. We home cook for our growing puppy, thanks to Dr. Jones & Tula giving suggestions on what to feed him. I’m very thankful for this channel!🐾💕

Yep. It got banned on film sets for this reason. It is NOT to be inhaled so do not let it get airborne.

I literally just learned this :( rescued 3 kittens Monday and have them quarantined from my other cats. Bathed them when I brought them in. And the room theyre in I put some de on the chair just in case they had fleas or ticks… I haven’t found any evidence of either aside from one tick I pulled off after the bath. But one kitten had a cough and sniffles yesterday and today. I also was using de to deworm them, that, is working as I’ve found several worms they’ve puked up or in their poop. But, the kitten that’s coughing tends to groom the other two and she rolls around in the couch. I’m sure she breathed some in from grooming and they playing :( I had no idea that could be an issue till today after looking up what could cause the issue and potential side effects of de. Be very careful applying topically and on furniture they play on.

Omg! I've been hearing it was recommended to put on your dog and in grass and was safe. I put a ton on my grass and the last couple of days my dog had been biting at the grass. He had had the sneezes some. It said food grade shouldn't that mean its safe? Should I be worried?

@@DARA_MaSTeR11 safe for ingesting and many health benefits but NOT safe for inhaling or in eyes etc. Mix it with care into foods or drink and use it that way.

@@DARA_MaSTeR11 wet it down! Now. You don’t want it airborne.

Thats good to know. We have 9 cats so this will save me a lot of money

@@justins3810 exactly! Cover the opening of the tube with tape so it doesn't dry up.

@@justins3810 you are still going to use this poison, rather than safe methods?

Do you know roughly how long is a small drop effective for? When we have to board my dog at a hotel, those places usually require a flea preventative and it’ll be nice not to use the whole tube on him.

That's not very smart advice. You won't want any Ticks on your Dogs to begin with

Our three dogs too all died from cancer! We used Frontline on all of them!

remember our food, water and air (and all of our internal organs) have micro plastics in them now. As plastics age they release numerous carconogenic chemicals. And they are literally in our organs. It's no wonder cancer rates are increasing rapidly and the severity is also increasing. People just keep using plastic for food, drink containers and packaging and keep throwing it. Even recycling doesn't help. We need to eliminate uneccessary plastic from our lives.

My dog has the warts now where the insecticide was used and it doesn't even work any more, my last pup died from cancer of the head and neck. He was only 3 . It was so very sad. I adopted him and the people we got him from sprayed their lawn all the time with insecticide. The vet said it's more then likely the cause. He was even in tears when we put him down, it was so fast and so aggressive. Found tumors and he was blind within 3 weeks. There was nothing that could help. It's poisoning everyone. Spraying the lawn it ends up in our water and on your pets feet.

I had one dog with cancer and I never used flea preventative on him but he did get heartworm medicine. The good thing was that I had a great holistic vet here in Michigan and he was cured of metastatic cancer in 3 months! I had him another 3 years before I had to say goodbye to him. Can I have a cat that I lost last summer with intestinal lymphoma but I adopted her as a 13 year old and I have no idea on what she was given as far as flea preventative before I got her. I'll tell you though I still want to cry when I think about her. It's hard when you feel like you've done something that has caused your how to become sick and to suffer. I think that's the worst part of it 😢

@@Savannah-ed4rv yes. Theres so much deception in pharma its hard to navigate. I now have a gsd that has pannus and a huge anal gland tumor. I'm treating it alternatively and shes doing really good. So many stories. We learn as we go.

Great point!

When u say fleas do u mean tics too?

I have had 4 cats and maybe the 1st outdoor siamese cat had fleas but the cats since then have NEVER had fleas. My second cat was looked all over by the vet for fleas or flea dirt and he didn't find any (I think he was mad he couldn't sell me a flea treatment). My 2 current cats have zero fleas. I think only neglected cats or ones that are almost always outside get fleas - the same with dogs!

@@dreamarcher4018 I think so too!! My vet checked with a comb etc and could not find anything either. He wanted to sell me different things as well...

Yes, the look in the very expressive eyes of my sweet cat minutes after applying this crap was Horror. I had no doubt it was the insecticide treatment

I can tell you for a fact, simparica trio, will destroy your dog's internal organs. Because it happened to mine. Went to the vet for a full check up getting a perfect bill of clean health for my 11 year old dog. Decided to try out the new flea chew pill they sell. My happy dog went from normal to very down and sad within a couple hours. I could tell he was in pain and took him back to the vet the same day. They could find nothing wrong with him. He spent several days in the ER and died from internal organ failure. On his last day he looked at me and there was no soul behind his eyes anymore. Just an automation staring forward or following whoever around. I held him in my lap as they put him to sleep with his favorite squeaky ball as his tail slowly wagged knowing the sound he enjoyed. Don't use anti flea treatments. They are toxic for the insects and your healthy animal. I wish I could sue the company for all the harm they caused.

That's sad but sure glad your cat made it. We had a cat that got toxed (and so did we) from Terminix spraying for roaches. They used a pesticide that is banned now. We had taken him in for neutering & he did not wake up well from sedation. That is how we found out, which led to us finding out why we were having all kinds of strange symptoms too. He was never alright again & died within 6 months. We have had problems long term. I would never use poisons again anywhere or on anything.

The dog eats it? What ratio?

What’s the recipe, please?

heartworm will cause your dog to cough and it will eventually block the heartvalves and kill your dog. They used to treat it with arsenic, this was effective.

Well -- yes, they're toxic. Most medicines are (see 'chemo'). Its a balance between killing the bacteria/renegade cells/tick and killing the patient.

It's all about money. They don't care, they keep us sick because it makes the players money.

The government definitely doesn't care about anyone's health. Everything is done for profit and control

Yes, glyphosate and so many other things. It's disgusting how we are lied to so they get rich.

Ahha they deleted my comment again like they usually do

I live in an area, CT, where most people are like walking CNN episodes. After the last 4 years, anyone who still " trusts the 'experts' " is lost and will never wake up.

😮😮😮😮😮!!

It melted a plastic comb the first time i used it never touched it again.

Yeah...my double coated Terv (a slightly smaller version of your dog...lol) will NEVER get a flea comb through her coat! I end up shining a light from my phone ..picking through her fur like a manic monkey! 😂 Also using a 'flea tag...electronic sound tag on her (#TICKLESS). Holistic vet recommended ....been on her all winter...still working 💪

Use the vakuum cleaner.

I have 2 GSD'S that would take about a month(per dog)

​@@frankolsen2248😂 that tickled me 😂

​@frankolsen2248 I have an Akita, and she gets vacuumed every few days. She loves it. Not so much for fleas, but she sheds a lot, and it stops the house looking like a fur nest.

We don’t have fleas in Minnesota so your test data is skewed.

@@olson.pamela Tell that to all the local vets. Lol. I don't believe you are correct on that. You can find plenty of articles and research to the contrary. Now maybe we are not as bad as some states and perhaps that's why it's never been an issue for us.

Ty Is ot ok to use thyme and and catnip essential pils on them?

​@@olson.pamelano fleas?

“Geraniums contain essential oils (linalool, gerinaol) which can cause gastrointestinal upset or skin irritation with exposure. Symptoms can include vomiting, diarrhea, depression or lethargy, anorexia (i.e. lack of appetite) and dermatitis. Geranium Is Toxic To Cats | Pet Poison Helpline®”

I have a yorkie that has an enlarged heart...makes me wonder also. Now he's on 2 different meds? Sorry about your little one.

Ouch Sorry to hear that!

Yep, right along with the vaxzines

It is most definitely a moneymaker! Look around your vets office there’s posters of this stuff containers that hold stuff maybe even treats with the flea and tick branding on them. I’ve even gone into my vet for completely separate issues and if it’s been about a year and they push that during the visit and it makes me angry.

Same as teeth and vaccines!! Huge money makers for vets!

50/50%. ?

@LBoyer-ru1pp 1/2 cup of coconut oil mix in 1 cup of Brewer yeast. For a sweet flavor, you can add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened apple sauce

I made beer with yeast. Never even considered its use for fleas. I highly doubt it works. I'd like to know the science behind it.

@@inix9748 great idea

How much of the one and a half cup mixture do you give to your dog daily?

@lagomorphia9 What do you use for your dogs? I've used Advantage quite a bit, but I've noticed diminished returns and it's the best of a bad bunch ( I didn't know it was so bad).

I use it on my dogs, only when there are fleas present. and when the fleas are gone, I quit. Glad I have used it minimally.

Don't use the dog version on cats. It may be deadly

Not many cats tolerate being bathed, let alone an ex stray cat. When i tried to bathe my cat in the shower (for fleas), she howled and peed from the distress and tried to break the shower screen to get away.

@catlifechannel3886 Wow! That's not funny, is it? I'm desperate not to put those poisons on my cat, but everything this recommends, except the combing , I can't do with my boy. I can put his bedding out in UV sun, wash it regularly, but that's it.

Wet Dog air freshner

OMG, I'm so so sorry

That's now got me thinking. I adopted a 10 year old Sheltie 9 years ago . After months of brushing out his matted fur and reducing his weight , he looked healthy and was lively. I put Frontline drops on him a few times , and though I can't remember the time line , he did begin to suffer with his legs , and developed digestion problems and diarrhoea . He lasted 3 years with me , but the last year was his worst . 😮 I didn't know his medical history , but I wouldn't be surprised if the flea drops did have a negative reaction. Now , I've got 2 Romanian rescue dogs , both around 9 years old and healthy. No vet visits or treatments in the 6 years I've had them . No flea problem either .😊 🇬🇧♥️🇮🇱✝️

I almost lost my dog after flea treatment at the vet

We fatten and slaughter cows sheep chicken ducks pigs goats rabbits for dog treats... in this world... and worry about invoierment . And our health. Crazy ..

Its disgusting that the animal loving vets still promote poisons when they know the potential devastating effects

It's works for headlice to. Vinegar is a great conditioner for hair.

That's wonderful timing! I'm glad you found the information helpful. It's great that you're sharing this knowledge with your family to keep all the pups safe. 😊

Who has time to bath their pets every 3-4 days 😮 Apparently, you do & good for you, but most people don’t.

Thank you for that explanation! I appreciate it!

Get a large bag of diatomaceous earth food grade and dust your yard (carpet vacuum after 45 minutes), sprinkle it on the dog food 1/2 tsp in wet food, mix it good. You also can dust your dog/cat with diatomaceous earth food grade. Also sprinkled some in the litter box, mix it well Dogs that have itchy dry skin large dogs use 1 tablespoon of coconut oil 2- a day. Smaller 1- teaspoon 2x a day.

@@JEWELZRU-vid Oh my god please DO NOT EVER SPRINKLE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH ON YOUR PETS! Holy cow, no, no, no! Do you know if that powder gets into your dog's lungs, it will not clean out and can cause LUNG CANCER? I hope to god you have never done this to your dog! Please ask the vet for further information, oh my god!

@@GreenWitch1 This is a 15 minute job every 3-4 days. If you don't have this little time for your pet, maybe you need to change something. And I mean well, when I say this.

Thanks for sharing 😊

wonderful!

that definitely works if you keep pets indoors.I have done it with new rescue cats (outside until fleas were dead and cat flea combed).

Lol so not true

@@dogssuppliesrus It absolutely works! I wouldn’t tell you it did if I hadn’t experienced it myself.

​@channel23753thank you I have a senior cat , I hoped isn't suffering . Seems she is slowly going but still interacts and eats

I made a huge mess all over my house, garage and back porch with DE one year. I left it for a couple days and then worked on cleaning it up. Messy, but it broke the life cycle of the flea infestation we had.

DE is very dangerous for respiratory system. Should not be left or place in an area where your gonna vacuum.

@@bahba9247 A youtube comment CHANGED my life about applying DE - you can mix it with water and put it in a handheld sprayer (I bought a couple of them on Amazon for like $25 or less) and then misted it all over the outside of the house, my yard, gardens, the pets beds, the nooks and crannies inside. When it dries, you'll see the powder left behind. It's SO MUCH LESS MESSY!

@@rosewatson7163 Thank you so much for the tip! 🙂

@@rosewatson7163 If you get DE wet, then it stops working. ​The reason that DE works is the little sharp bits on the particles, which destroy the exoskeleton of the bugs. When DE gets wet, the water destroys the sharp edges of the DE particles and renders it useless.

garlic is bad for dogs

Is brewers yeast the same as nutritional yeast? I thought they were different?

What brand? Is it a powder?

Hi. I wish people with successful tic prevention tips w/o chemicals would give their location. If someone lives in a location above 67* F 12 months a year , and has healthy out side hiking dogs with years of no tick bites means a lot more to me than anonymous locations. Thanks for this informative tip.👍🤔

Dogs in texas get heart worm all the time and die from it. Depending where you live you have to have heart worm preventative.

@@Meskarune I have had a total of six dogs in the state of Texas. A Golden Retriever that lived to the age of 13, a Shetland Sheepdog that only lived to seven due to complications of inbreeding, a Maltese that lived to 15, a mixed breed dog that lived to 12, and my two dogs that are still with me a 17 year old Chihuahua and a 1 year old Maltese. None of these dogs have ever tested positive for Heartworms. I am not telling anyone to stop using Heartworm preventatives. I am just stating that I do not and it has never been an issue. I take my dogs to a vet on a regular basis. They are tested for heartworms every 6 months. I do everything I can to protect my dogs and keep them healthy. They live in my home and are kept clean. I am also cautious with vaccines.

@@margiewalker1808 My aunt and neighbors all had their dogs get heartworm. It's caused by mosquitoes so if you are in an area with a lot of them the risk is high. I lived in Houston suburb and then dallas/fort worth. Parvo was also really common and I knew tons of people who's dogs got that. Heartworm though is a horrible disease, the dog's heart literally gets worms living in their heart. I wouldn't risk it.

@@Meskarune I am completely aware of what causes heart worms and the potential risks. Thank you for being concerned.

Were you using dog flea meds on your cats? That's usually the cause of seizures in cats.

My good friends dogs started having seizures on that Symparico. My vet wanted to give my pup that and I said no way!

@renee6708 Good for you! We are the defense and protection for our furry babies 🐶. I'm trying to educate myself as much as possible with the help of Dr. Jones.

@@CharlieOkeson My 11 year old terrier-mix was prescribed Symparica by my vet because I was looking for an alternative for the topical drops. She told me that Symparica was THE drug to prevent my dog from getting fleas and ticks. I felt a little iffy about giving him poison to swallow so Instead of giving 1 pill every 4-6 weeks (like my vet advised) I was waiting 8 weeks before the next dose. But after reading this.......😢..........I will throw away any pills I have left. Thank you for sharing your experience!

They just want $$$$ don't give two hoota about your pet !!!

I see you met some brain injected believers of the medical corp. Some doctors are exactly that.

Same here. I have rescues that live outside that I want to protect. It’s bad where I live.

Are you in the UK?

Will you please share what was recommended to you? My parents dog has been having diarrhea for awhile now. Thanks!

can I ask what is the remmedy with coffee. How do you give your dog coffee? My poodle has diarhea off and so much no matter what I try!!

I would like to know too.

Please make sure you’re only using organic when it comes to soy. Monsanto, who was bought out by Bayer years ago, owns 90% of the soybean crops in the U.S. They continue to douse the soybean crops with Roundup (glyphosate). I avoid anything that contains soy unless it’s organic. It’s in salad dressings, bread crumbs, in hundreds of different foods now. Also avoid carrageenan, a carcinogen banned in the UK showing up in human food now and is also in some brands of canned cat and dog food. Please be safe 🙏🏻

@@BooBooCatsMom Yes you are so right! I avoid soy when I can because it's phytoestrogen - which is normally a good thing- I've found increases my hormone levels, and when they drop, I get a migraine with aura. I have found lecithin doesn't do that, but you never know. We sure don't need glyphosate in our food supply at all. Thanks for reminding me of this.

I feel there is a connection to the parasites, too , a bit of geoengineering, I feel

Aren't they related somehow to vampires? Oddly enough , something doesn't sit right . 🤔

Truth is stranger than fiction 😂

Without pesticides, we would not have crops and feed billions of humans. It is a trade-off.

I gotta be careful with that- if I spray right b4 we go outside, she runs & rolls in the dirt. I usually spray a bandana & rub it on her.

I am going to try the neem oil. Do you just order it from Amazon? I tried the lemon, thyme, acv thing but I don't think it worked.

Everyone is talking about fleas, but do these remedies work for ticks too?!

Neem oil is from India. Maybe find an Indian store. They should be able to help. Yes, it works for ticks too.

I don't think this will work in hot climates where ticks and fleas are so bad.

Garlic in the food. But also ivermectin monthly. That’s what I would do if I lived in a heavily infested area with a high risk of heartworm.

Also asking about heartworm prevention! I’ve been trying some of these natural methods and they work well for fleas. However I’m concerned about heartworm. I haven’t been giving my dog triflixs for a few months bc my dog throws it up. Unfortunately I’m in a state that’s high risk for mosquitoes and heartworm. Should I switch to heart guard?

Go to"Wondercide" protect your pack flea treatments they are all natural, and try "Pet Wellbeing" for meds they are both great sites for our pet babies search them on line .

There’s tons of good suggestions in the comments. ❤

My beautiful cat never had fleas, and I grew Catnip in the garden. He used to eat it and lay on/around it.

Yes, that’s more likely to be the cause - people who pay a poison company to exterminate every insect and spider from their property.

I love Jason Corey's channel. His doggies are so sweet.

Animals were seldom kept as pets inside.

“Back in the day” dogs ate more natural: raw meat & organs & bones, raw plants, clean water, and some table scraps (if their people didn’t have hogs). There was no such thing as “kibble” or “dog food”. And certainly no “junk food”! And they certainly weren’t carried around or pushed in strollers, and DEFINITELY not carried in someone’s purse! They dug in the dirt and ran around a lot! They didn’t have “toys” or beds either. In other words, they had healthy, robust microbiomes that kept them healthy.

My vet said never feed venison. I worked at a vet and a dog came in with horrible smelling bloody diarrhea and the doc griped that is why you never give a dog venison. I Still wonder about that to this day. Any comments on why?

​@@dbruce5760That's a good question. Our family, including our pets, consume a fair amount of venison throughout the fall and winter. It's good lean meat. But now that I think of it, many if not most are grazing in the fields of corn and soybeans...and here I thought we were doing better.

I recall our dog being flea combed (but also wearing a flea collar).

They knew for sure it was from that and not a health defect of the lungs? The research & studies they’ve done on it shows no adverse effects to lungs.

Yes they knew for sure. There are warnings on diatomaceous earth. I use it now in areas in the garage which are not accessible to my dog. If you Google "dangers of diatomaceous earth exposure to lungs" you will see detailed warnings and consequences of inhalation.

I have used DE for years for fleas and all sorts of bugs around my house. I have put it on my dogs previously, heavily, to get rid of fleas also. I have dusted with it in my RVs and rental properties we have owned. It has always worked well and I have never had any animal have any issues. It is the only "pesticide" I will use in my own home. Everything else is toxic.

High probability that they were not using food-grade DE. I can see this happening if that was the case. You should still use it sparingly and mask up / keep the animasl away from it until it settles. Otherwise, food-grade DE is about the most effective, safest form of general pesticide out there!

I have firsthand knowledge that they used food grade only diatomaceous earth because I also used it on their dog while at their home before the tragedy. We were all aware of the importance of using food grade only. It's not hard to find on the internet verifications that diatomaceous earth can cause bubbles on lungs, which is from what that immensely, incredibly wonderful dog sadly died. I thought it important to warn others, hadn't anticipated unnecessary arguments, denials of the reality or theories. Personally, I will never use it again on any animal for any reason.

You're very welcome 😊
