aboutgreyhounds

Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is an all-natural, non-toxic substance that has many uses in greyhound homes. It can be used as a food supplement, to get rid of flees and ticks in your greyhound’s coat and in your yard, as a deodorizer, and even to help deworm.  Discover what DE is, where it comes from, and how to use it.
