Wow, that's weird. One of the first articles i ever found about it was about it being used in cow feed. (Which i stumbled upon wen researching what exactly the U.S. feeds cows.) (DE makes for MANY less flies around dairy farms and such.)
We get ours from a tiny local farm supply store.
I suggest looking up a few brands and either writing to them or calling and asking where they distribute to. (I just looked and the first brand we bought was Glorious Gardens and the second brand was Concern.)
I found this link where they talk about where to find it as well as other aspects... http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/...010216853.html

and his manager didn't know what it was.
I've seen stuff with it in it at tractor supply but never a bag that I could buy.

Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
