While it's more common to use Diatomaceous Earth as a flea prevention, many people have added small amounts of Diatomaceous Earth to their pet's diet.

Feeding Diatomaceous Earth to your cat
The type of food you are giving your cat will also affect the way to give it to them.
Wet Food: Remove the food from the can and add it to the dish. Then add the appropriate dose of Diatomaceous Earth and mix in.
Dry Food: Cats may be sceptical of their dry cat food if it has a white powder on it, that's why we suggest this method for adding Diatomaceous Earth to your cat's food.
Step 1: Take note of the number of servings in the bag of cat food.
Step 2: Multiply the appropriate Diatomaceous Earth dosage by the number of servings. Add that amount of DE to the bag of cat food and shake the bag to distribute it evenly. The Diamaceous Earth will absorb the scent of the cat food and be almost indistinguishable from it allowing your cat to enjoy their food.
Alternatively you can try this approach:
Step 1: Mix the dosage of Diatomaceous Earth with a quarter cup of water.
Step 2: Pour the mixture over your cat's dry food coating most of it.
Be sure not to get the product in the animal's eyes or ears. Re-apply if the animal gets wet or when the powder is no longer present.
