Wow...i remember watching your vid when you built your house...it was amazing...years later...im randomly looking for how to naturally deworm my cat...and here you are...you do everything!

[@jenniferfletcher5425]

I started doing this almost 2 years ago and have had no tapeworms since. I have 5 cats. One month 3 of my 5 got tapeworms. $125 to treat them all. Then a few months later, 3 different ones got tapeworms. $125. You wouldn't believe it but months later, yup, again. So I googled and found this video. Then I told all my friends and they're doing it as well. Now I post this video online all the time. Thank you

Thanks - great video. My doctor put me on the same food grade diatomaceous earth because he suspected I could have parasites in my small intestines. He made a good point I wanted to share: Because this physically breaks down the parasites/worms, you will not gain a resistance to it like a medication. It is safe to use for cats, dogs, and to put in your garden. It has been wonderful for me. I mix it with a small glass of water almost daily. It also combats candida overgrowth.

[@tonyahoward3563]

I love your videos and diatomaceous earth is fantastic. I wanted to let you know about a cat’s diet however. Cats should primarily be fed a wet diet. In fact the best option is no dry. This is for many reasons. Cats do not have a thirst drive so rather than drinking they will normally eat... If the food they are eating is dry then they will not be hydrated enough... putting strain on their kidneys etc... can lead to urinary tract infections etc. Cats also require ZERO carbohydrates and in fact have no enzymes in their saliva to start breaking down the carbs. They have a very difficult time breaking down carbs/sugars at all. A primarily dry diet is therefore the primary cause of the high incidence of diabetes now seen in cats... as well as obesity and kidney failure. Kibble (for cats and dogs) is a convenient and cheaper option In feeding your animals however it is not any optimal diet. Carbs have to be added to kibble in order for the kibble to be formed. Therefore kibble is extremely high in carbs. Dogs have a small requirement for carbs....much much less than what is in kibble and cats have a zero requirement for carbs. In addition most dry food is processed through high pressure and high heat which causes the nutrients to be lost...therefore the manufacturer adds back synthetic vitamins (not great). There is also research that shows that a ‘byproduct’ of that process can be cancer causing... hence leading to the higher incidence of cancer in pets. If you do use kibble you should store it in an airtight sealed container (preferably not plastic). This is because once the bag is opened the kibble starts to go rancid. For that reason any bag of kibble should be used within a months time of opening or you run the risk of your animal becoming sick from the rancid fat in the kibble. When I look for an animal food... I make sure to avoid certain ingredients which I am sure that specific food has many of. Some of the basic ingredients I avoid are corn (no nutritional benefit and high probability of it being genetically modified), soy (same reason as corn), any animal by-products (if the description says meat or poultry and does not mention the specific animal..then you have no clue what animal it is. With by-products you have no idea what you are getting.. dead or dying animals...animals that have been euthanized...or what leftovers of the animal), powdered cellulose (basically wood pulp), any hydrolyzed proteins (often included in a diet that is supposed to be for sensitive pets. It is basically a protein that is ‘broken down’ and highly processed so the body doesn’t recognize it as that protein... although it seems to be the latest fad to add to be able to market the food...it isn’t a good option, carrageenan (studies have linked to cancer)... etc Sorry, I know my comment is very long but my fear is that people see the dry and think it is a good diet to feed their cat... as well as seeing the brand you are feeding and mistakingly think it is a good choice if you do feed dry (sorry...it isn’t... that goes for their dog food as well). I adopted three cats that were all fed a primarily dry diet. One of them worse than the others. She was fed 100% dry... and a horrible one at that. She died of kidney failure and I hadn’t even had her 6 months. One of the others diet of kidney failure as well...I had him for around 6 years and he was fed 95% wet diet when he came to me... it was heart wrenching... and if I can prevent it from happening to anyone else. Unfortunately vets often recommend dry (traditional vets have little to no nutrition studies....same as a doctor...which is why we go to a nutritionist when we need nutrition information for ourselves and not a doctor who couldn’t be knowledgeable). One thing people are falsely told is that kibble helps clean the teeth because of the crunch. Unfortunately the exact opposite is true. Particles of the kibble are left on the teeth... high carb content... sugars.... lead to plaque. The reason I know the above is that I work for an animal feed and supply company and continually am reading and Learning about nutrition. The company I work for.. yes it is a business but the focus is on the best for the animals and not just in making $$.

[@jasonc5418]

wow very nice. for some people that can't afford wet food, there's a urinary care dry food and the best for all , buy a water fountain cats love it and drink a lot they're natural instinct is drink fresh water that's moving, when water is in motion it gets oxygen inside and makes it fresh and delicious for them.

[@tonyahoward3563]

@@jasonc5418 just buy the best quality dry you can get.. I wouldn't use urinary (the ones I'm familiar with are not the best quality). Add water to the kibble. Feed as much wet as you can. You really should aim for at the least 50/50. They need the moisture and it is unlikely they will drink enough water to make up for the dry. (I know it can be more expensive but some people feed dry because it is more convenient and they do not realise how bad it actually is. Also keep in mind vet bills are high and you want your kitty to be around for as long as possible. I adopted a beautiful cat who had been fed a 100% dry diet. I only had her a few months before she had kidney failure. We tried to save her but it was too late. Almost $2,000 later and Twiggy was gone. My young daughter had fallen in love with her...

For everyone giving Becky crap about feeding kibble, maybe you should look at your own animals diet. 8/10 People that serve a raw diet to their pets do not do it properly and often miss crucial vitamins and minerals (in proper amounts) which is likely to cause bigger problems down the road. Sometimes kibble is the easiest, most cost effective way to provide a balanced diet without calculating and planning out a menu everyday. Cats and dogs are some of the heartiest creatures on this planet and and you will never know these issues are there until it's too late. Most people don't have the time or knowledge to feed a perfectly natural raw diet with everything that animal needs and therefore kibble is the best choice for them. Do not shame this animal-loving woman for making her own choice, as she has every right to do. A cat/dog being fed a raw diet is at an even greater risk than those getting fed kibble, ask any vet. Back off this women, she has the right to feed how she wants!

[@cinderellassober8265]

Thank you for posting this reply- of course we all want what's best for our animals. I looked into the whole raw food diet thing very seriously- I realized that with as many animals as I have I could not afford it. A good quality kibble is fine for my animals and I don't feel guilty about it. The whole point of Becky's video is to show the benifits of using DE. The trolls are everywhere.

bottom line is this.if folks have web access then they can also easily find out how to feed raw properly. just like folks like Becky whom i love and have a huge crush on) as well as others can find out what type of kibble is crap or not. so, nobody gets a pass to include BECKY nor do they get condemned because you like becky so much . Choice is obvious and what matters is making better choices. and yes that kibble is crap she's feeding.

First off amazing video! And what a sweet soul! ❤️ BUT!!! It pisses me off when people judge or look down upon others for getting “cheap” pet food like purina etc.... or when something happens to their pet and they ask for help because they cant afford a vet and then someone says “you shouldn’t have a pet if you can’t afford them”. If only the people who could afford a vet bill ranging from 100-thousands at any given moment because something happens or getting $50+ pet food deserved to have pets then there would be HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS more homeless animals. We do what we can....I myself can’t afford expensive pet food (or even good quality human food at times) and i cant drop hundreds for a vet at any given moment but i know i give my babies the love and care they deserve. Also, a lot of medicines and treatments that come from a vet are horrible! So why not use a natural method if possible. Do your research and make a wise decision. Is the average pet food the best? Probably not. But it’s better than not feeding them anything at all or not giving a pet a home just because you can’t give them the best food.

Hi! I emailed you, but in case you see this first... Can you suggest an amount of DE to sprinkle on to wet cat food, twice daily? Thank you!

[@barbararingley2630]

You can find the dosages online by doing a search. I used about a quarter teaspoon in my cats canned food for 4 days and could see improvement in the first 24 hours. I have a feral cat colony so this is the easiest and cheapest way to take care of ALL worms.

Man I hope this works. My tom cat is pulling his hair out and I happened to see a white worm on his rectum. Never wormed a cat in my life. Spent 60.00 at Petco for worming medicine and I CANNOT get the medicine in him. He won't eat any wet cat food, raw meat, milk, tuna, cooked beef, nothing with the medicine in it or on it. I have a bag of diatomaceous earth for flea control. Will try this immediately. (it would be easier to put a condom on a bob cat than to get a pill down Cricket's throat. Vets want an arm and a leg. Please let this work!)

Are you using this now to get rid of worms? How much are you adding to your dry cat food?

[@animethxt]

Irreparable Did you ever do this? did it work for you? About two weeks ago My 2 year old cat pooped outside of the litter box in front of me and there were a bunch of little white worms, i looked it up and assumed it was tapeworms. I bought this and have been feeding both my cats a tablespoon a day in their wet food mixed with a little bit of dry food, i’m not sure what to look for for improvement because when i clean the litter box it’s usually not fresh poop so i can’t see worms or anything

[@astridreesebardot7198]

So I have three five week old kittens whose mother stopped feeding them. They are literally wasting away and I'm pretty sure it's because they have worms. Last week we tried and over the counter worm treatment for roundworms they are still dropping weight like crazy. Can I use the diatomaceous earth to get rid of their worms and if so do you happen to know how much to put in their kitten boobie formula everyday? I can't get a solid answer online that doesn't require either an expensive purchase made on that site or only gives the generic advice of "Go to the vet. Go directly to the vet (but make sure & pass GO because you'll need that money for the bill)! Thanks a zillion & love your channel!

[@angelika77st]

It got rid of a flea infestation I had in my house. Make sure to cover your face when you dust your house with it, the shell is like glass and that is what cuts the exoskeleton of fleas and roaches. They dry up, they use DE in grains when it is being trasported to avoid bugs from infesting food. It is safe around kids. Just remember to dust the house and leave for a bit so the dust settles, cover your pate face as well if you put it on their fur.

[@ceeteemcdee9680]

Thank you for sharing! For some reason, out of the blue when I was making the bed I had this idea & wondered if it would work, since I have some DE on hand & while researching it I ended up here. I'm going to try it. We all know how difficult it can be to take 3 cats to the vet for whatever difficulties each one can present, not to mention the expense, missing work, etc.

[@debystein]

Becky, you're awesome! I love this idea. It's so simple and natural. Would ducks and geese benefit from some of this added to their food? Thanks so much for sharing.

[@angelika77st]

DE can be even consumed by humans, it is non toxic, it kills parasites of all sorts, it typically kills even roaches as it cuts through their exoskeletons. Do not breath it though, it is like glass so it is not safe to do so.

[@elkecita77]

Hi Becky. Im thinking abt trying this. I feed a colony that are feral barn cats. I just wanted to tell you that I figured out better food than Purina. its Diamond Naturals Active cat. O get it from Chewy. The bags cost more ($25) but they eat less so its abt the same in the end. And they really look and feel much better on it. If I run out and they eat Purina then I can see them losing weight and not feeling as good. Thx for all your videos.

I googled natural deworming meds for cats, and a website called e home remedies has multiple different options, and for diatomaceous earth, it said to do a tsp once a day in wet food for a month. I also saw another youtube video where the lady mixed it with milk bc it shouldn't be aspirated. She said it can cut the lungs if inhaled! So, I'd say stick to the wet food.

[@NiteRythemzRadio]

[@minekiller2326]

Sparkling Silver Curls so my cat is 1 year old should I mix diayomaceous earth with milk or should I not.

[@SparklingSilverCurls]

Minekiller 23 Is your cat used to milk? If a cat or dogs doesn't get dairy products regularly, it could cause diarrhea due to most animals becoming lactose intolerant as they grow up. I'd stick to using wet cat food to mix the diatomaceous earth, but ONLY buy food grade diatomaceous earth from a health food store or natural pet food store, and follow the directions.

[@minekiller2326]

DE (Diatomaceous Earth) dust is not harmful to us or large dogs but it is harmful to the cat's respiratory system. Make sure the DE is food grade and completely bonded to the food so the cat cannot inhale any dust. :-) I'm glad you're organic with deworming!

[@crazy808ish]

+KaleidoscopeJunkie She already said in the video that the oils and fats make the DE bond to the food.

[@KaleidoscopeJunkie]

+crazy808ish But she fed it to the cat immediately rather than waiting a couple of days. The powder is quite visible because it has not fully bonded and therefore can be inhaled. As I said in My comment >"completely bonded"

[@crazy808ish]

+KaleidoscopeJunkie Doesn't really matter anyway, since she dusts her whole cat with it to kill fleas and ticks.

[@survivormary1126]

I've actually read it is bad for anything to inhale, including humans.

[@peziki]

Yes this works well but Becky didn't tell us why it works. The DA must be "food grade", is crushed to powder form which passes through harmless to the animal. The abrasiveness she mentions means the minute particles scrape against the parasite and acts like it is being scrubbed with razor wire. It can't heal from the injuries, dies and passes out with digested materials. Best wishes to all.
