Johnson Compounding and Wellness, in Waltham, now carries Diatomaceous Earth for Pets, a non-toxic product that rids cats and dogs of fleas.

“Many people are scared to use flea medications because they are harmful and toxic, and this is a wonderful alternative,” says Co-Owner Diane Bernardi. “Diatomaceous Earth for pets is a mechanical flea killer, so fleas cannot become immune to this product. Once fleas come into contact with the powder, they usually die within 48 hours.”

The product is sold by Lumino and can be bought in the Wellness Store at Johnson Compounding, alongside the pharmacy.
