Bentonite clays are good for pets, too!


Bentonite clays are as good for your pets as they are for humans.  If a pet ever gets into poison get some clay down them immediately. You can use a syringe to draw up the liquid clay (remove the needle).  Hold their head back and slowly let them drink 1-2 ounces every hour until better.

Wild Animals Eat Clay

A variety of wild animals including birds, primates, deer, and even elephants, have also been known to partake of clay. They seek out and consume clay because somehow they  know instinctively that ingesting it will help counteract toxic and potentially harmful chemicals found in their food.
