lol, I shocked myself when I did my first DE clean out. The smell was horrendous (TMI), but it really was disgusting. So I figured it was better out then in.
I find the DE really easy to give my pups as well, I just mix it in a bit of gravy and they gobble it down with their dinner, or in the case of my big pup, he doesn't so much as eat, but inhale his food. We've timed him, and he can finish 500gms of food in less than 3 seconds. He is the master of the "I'm starving" look, but I keep telling him that he has zero credibility until he loses some weight.
