Perma-Guard Fossil Shell Flour Suggested Feeding Guidelines

Adjustments may be made based on your own experience and the weight of the animal.
Our DE is GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe by the FDA), so there is no harm of "overdose".

 A basic rule of thumb is 2% of the dry weight of the food but here are some "dosage" guidelines:

Humans 1 heaping teaspoon stirred in cup of water, mixed in food or in anything you like.
Child 1/2 to 1 level teaspoon per day.
Kittens 1/2 teaspoon
Cats 1/2 to 1 teaspoon
Puppies - 1/2 to 1 tsp.

Dogs under 50 lbs. 2 teaspoons
Dogs over 50 lbs. 1 Tablespoon
Dogs over 100 lbs. 2 Tablespoons
Cattle 2% by weight of dry ration
Calves 4 grams in morning
Dairy cattle 2% by weight of dry ration (4 oz. )
Chickens 5% in feed
Goats 1% in grain
Hogs 2% of weight in feed ration
Horses 1/2 - 1 cup in daily ration
Sheep 1% in ground grain
 

Caution: do not give to very small pregnant animals such as cats, guinea pigs, etc. and do not feed continually to babies or very small adult animals such as cats, hamsters, etc. The material may be fed on a continuous basis to larger livestock for continuous parasite control and mineralization.
Parasite Control: For effective use, the DE must be fed long enough to catch all the newly hatching eggs or cycling of the worms through the lungs and back to the stomach. A minimum of 60 days is suggested at 2% of dry weight of the grain ration.
