I have one 5 lb. bag unopened and about 4-1/2 pounds of the other one.
I think some are squeamish of the idea. But, I do offer.
Thanks again for the info. !

We have the Cat it dome style and the gang loves it. Going on 3 years and no problems. I take it apart and wash the parts about every 10 days. Easy to clean the motor as well. It has lasted much longer than I thought it would.

Thanks for the input ! I too bought some for the carpet. It seems to help some with the fleas. Maybe more important is just vacuuming, but DE does make a noticeable difference. I put it down when the "gang" is outside and vacuum the next day. Always have the windows open for good ventilation...
I tried a half tsp. yesterday and again in the evening. Will try this for a week and maybe double for the next week. I have read of many people who use a heaping tbsp. daily ! Not sure about that. I'm still a little squeamish. I plan to be the guinea pig before feeding to kitty. All the while...
Anyone here mix it in with kitty food ? I've got some and I'd like to give it a try. Have read no bad results anywhere.
Thinking of starting with 1/8 tsp. to start.
Thanks to all who are using it, or know someone who does.

We've been there many, many times. You'll know what is right. I prefer a natural lifespan. But, as caregivers we need to be prepared to make decisions.
I will hope that you get some sort of solid information from your veterinarian.
You are clearly a loving, caring person and your friend has a...
Nigel has one right near his "junk" if you will. I'm wondering if removing it will pose a greater risk of infection ? Remove and watch closely ? Let it come off on it's own ? I'm in favor of removal ASAP, but it's going to be very sensitive.
It's close to as large as the ones we usually get...
We had a flea outbreak last year about this time. Frontline Plus on the kitties and for the first time I used DE on the carpets. Not sure if it worked or is working as it was a little later in the Summer. I'm planning on another dusting this week. We have a fairly short flea season here.
I...
For the 3rd summer in a row, Mickey has turned into a complete schizophrenic - I think due to fleas - and won't come inside for anything more than to eat. Just meows shrilly until I let him out - jumps on high shelves, won't walk on the carpet, so I know fleas can mess with their heads...
We've got about 8 pounds of Dental Diet left. I will be looking into the suggested foods next time I'm in town.
Going to check the Nutro website now.
Thank You !

So, this has been discontinued. I have found a few places to stock up on it. Has anyone come upon a dry food with similar size and taste ? Fish and poultry if I remember correctly. One of our gang is and has been nutso over it for many years. I'm hoping to find something similar that he'll eat...
First time in 4-5 years that we've had an issue. We used Front Line Plus about two weeks ago. Now my food grade DE has arrived. Hah ! I ordered 10 lbs and didn't realize how much would be coming. Two large 5lb bags ! That's cool, it has an indefinite shelf life.
Vacuumed my room about 5 days...
Where have you found the best deals on Food Grade DE ? Particular brands ? Permaguard, Green Sense, Viagrow, DE, Natures Wisdom ? Permaguard at Amazon is under $15 for 10 lbs.. What are your experiences.

We've had the Catit dome fountain for about a year now and all the kitties use it. We even had a bunny that would use it. I think they like to be able to sit more upright and drink rather than stoop over.

When I first met Nigel at his former home he was kinda skittish but playful. We took him home that night and he went into hiding in the library. For maybe a month and a half he was kind of a beast. Growling, hissing, spitting, lunging, etc.. At one time I thought maybe we'd have to find a...
About 9 days ago he'd stopped coming inside. Figuring it was fleas really bothering him we gave all 5 a dose of Frontline Plus. That seemed to work very well and all are a bit less agitated.
Nigel still is "spooked" about coming inside. When he does he shoots all around and gets back to the...
About 10am. this morning and now the kitties are scratching more than ever.
Is this because we've disrupted their (the fleas) feeding spots and are relocating ?
