I have it for sale, its food grade, suitable for both human and animal consumption. Let me know if you'd like some.

Thank you, I am looking for the kind that isn't food grade though. :)

Yes, that's what we want it for. We've got a bit of a tick problem out here in the countryside and want to keep them off our dog (I even found one crawling on me one night :cry: ). Thank you for the tips! :)

I wouldn't use anything but human/food grade on animal coats. If they groom themselves it could be harmful. The other stuff is used in swimming pools and agricultural use. According to the internet, Lambrou on Mesogi Ave have it., near Wilkinson? cake shop? I have been using it for years and get mine shipped 25kg from Natural Supplies, formerly Diatom, in U.K., it lasts a long time!

Hello Jimgym, do you still have the food grade Diatomaceous Earth for sale? I am interested, how can I reach you? Thanks!
