What is Diatomaceous Earth and why would it be added to holistic dog food?

Question by Samson-U know the guy w the hair on "Holistic":

I started feeding my dog a holistic dog food and it says it has this ingredient in it. It says: "Diatomaceous Earth, a natural fossil shell flour known to fight parasite". But if my dog doesn't have parasites why would I want this to be in his pet food? So I want to know is it safe that it's in my dog food? It is one of the last ingredients, so I don't think there is too much but maybe I should change foods? But, my dog gets Flea preventative every month called: "Revolution" and that's really strong stuff. So would it be bad that I'm feeding Diatomaceous Earth and putting on Revolution at the same time??? Please help?

Answer by Kate C *Attackofthebear*
It prevents them. Yes, it is safe. holistic vets recommends it over the flea chemicals the conventional vet likes to sell. No, you are fine to do both. DE is not a chemical.
