Can you use the powder on a dog or in her food that's nursing puppies?

Argue for your limitations and they are yours forever.

Do you mean diatomaceous earth?
I'd not use that on a nursing mother for fleas, the powder will get in the puppies lungs and might hurt or kill them (depending how young or weak they are.) Putting it in a dogs food doesn't kill fleas, needs to be a contact thing in the fur for that.

Maybe someone who knows more about it than me will answer.

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!
