This DE is the best part of the stuff you are asking about. Then if
your dog gets wormy you can sprinkle some on his food and fix him right
up! ;-))

I haven't used that particular product, but the primary active
ingredient is pyrethrin. You can find any number of products
containing pyrethrin or sythetic pyrethroids at your local garden
center. It's a fairly effective insecticide--contact only, no systemic
action--but because of its very specific mode of action, insect
populations develop resistance quite readily. If you use pyrethrin
frequently, it would be best to alternate another insecticide.
