The problem of where to buy Parvaid would seem simple enough - just go to the local store and pick up a bottle.

Sorry, that’s just too easy; it is a little more involved than that.

Parvaid is an herbal product that is synthetic and chemical-free. It is both effective and safe. Sadly, since it is not a chemical-based drug, most vets who are trained in traditional Western Medicine completely dismiss organic products as just some alternative solution that can’t possibly work as it is not approved by the FDA.

Herbal products classified as food supplements or botanicals, which is true of Parvaid and all of the other products required to treat Parvo, do not have to be evaluated by the FDA and therefore do not have to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.

Whenever you run into non-traditional and non-mainstream products, you will find a wall of resistance. Most vets appear to know nothing about organic treatments, and on most occasions they will be quite dismissive of any product that hasn’t come from a drug manufacturer as they receive plenty of financial incentives for pushing the big pharmaceutical companies’ drug; whereas the small independent herbalist can’t come close to matching the payoff levels that a company the size of Pfizer, for example, can use to incentivize a struggling vet.

It’s therefore very hard to get inexpensive herbal products into established distribution chains. The financial rewards are not present, there will be much less residual income, which is because herbal products tend to provide long-term relief vs. drugs that cause an array of side-effects that in turn mean you need additional drugs to counter-act the side-effects, and all this ever does is to put a band-aid on the problems, to the point where you might have to take pills and such for the rest of your life - and that, of course, brings in a steady flow of cash each month.

What it boils down to is this - vets could get paid once (by really treating the problem and not the symptoms) or they could get paid many times, so it’s not too surprising that they choose the latter option.

Unfortunately, there used to be a proud tradition in this country of using organic products to treat all manner of ailments, but a couple of hundred years ago, drugs began to appear, massive marketing campaigns were launched claiming how marvelous drugs are and that they are the only road to good health, and so the propaganda machine continued at full force.

Companies in the organic marketplace have never been able to compete with the pharmaceutical fat cats, with their deep pockets, and for the most part, still can’t. If you play ads hundreds of times a day that fill people with hype, work on their emotions, and basically wear them down, they will think there are no other viable solutions and therefore the drugs must be the answer.

The “pop a couple of pills and everything will be OK” mentality is all that most people know, because it’s what they grew up with. But in this day and age bugs (i.e. viruses, germs, bacteria, parasites) are getting stronger and stronger and immune to conventional treatments. Chemical-based drugs are much easier to find, but it’s highly likely that they won’t offer you the level of relief that you need.

Products like Parvaid work with the body, and not against, it, to help it heal from within. If you could go to your local market and pick up this type of organic product, that would be great, but as there are no big companies willing to promote these alternative treatments, you will not readily find these kinds of products in supermarkets, or even in any of the larger pet stores such as Pet Co or Pet Smart. You may, however, have some success if you look in small independent feed stores or pet stores.

But before you do this, there are a few things you need to know first.

Very few of the smaller retailers who sell Parvaid really know much about the product or how best to use it for maximum effect, because to them, it’s nothing more than another item on the shelf.

Because here’s the thing - if you want to give your dog the best possible chance of surviving Parvo, then you not only need to know the correct way to administer the product but also how to make and give a few home remedies at the same time. Retailers of this product simply will not have that body of knowledge or expertise.

Another crucial factor is that the manufacturer now specifies a minimum requirement for four different products to treat dogs with Parvo (as well as exposed adult dogs), and yet many retailers do not carry the full set of required products.

So, here’s your dliemma: do you spend valuable time trying to hunt down a retail store within driving distance (which may be several hours away if you’re unlucky), in the hope that they stock all of the products you need, and then return home and try to cope by yourself as best you can, or you do buy the products online?

The advantage of buying from a retail store is that you will probably save some time and some money (i.e. you won’t incur any shipping costs, although you will pay for gas), but the disadvantage is that you will get absolutely zero support. If something goes wrong, you will not be able to get any help from them as they won’t know how to answer your questions - they just don’t have that body of knowledge.

If you buy Parvaid online, then you have to examine exactly who is selling the products, how much experience do they have in case you need help, which is most of the time, and how trustworthy is their website.

The Internet is well known for being a place where websites will take your money and run, without ever delivering what you ordered.

One way you can tell is to look for the quantity of Parvo information that is on their website. If there is very little info then they probably don’t know much about it and are just selling another product.

Also, check to see what types of shipping methods are available. If they only offer USPS Priority Mail for example, that means they have no clue about how deadly this virus is and time is against you, so UPS or FedEx Overnight services are the ONLY acceptable shipping methods for sick animals.

We’ve dealt with 870 cases of Parvo (and counting), we only use FedEx Overnight for sick animals (Monday - Saturday deliveries), we wrote a 100+ page book all about Parvo which you can download instantly to your computer, Parvo Treatment 101 (no charge), we have developed (and frequently update) the most comprehensive Parvo Home Remedy Plan that will help sustain your sick dog until your products can be delivered, and throughout the treatment schedule, that you will find anywhere on the Internet, and we are the only company who offer all customers completely free and unlimited 24 x 7 phone support and personal coaching.

If your property is infected with Parvo, assuming you have dogs, or with Feline Distemper, if you have cats (because, unfortunately, dogs can pass Parvo on to cats, where it manifests itself in the form of Feline Distemper, also known as Feline Panleukopenia), then it is more than likely that you will need some support (maybe at 3:00am on a Sunday morning, when you won’t be able to contact most vets or retail stores, of course) to help you through this horrific ordeal.

You’ll find a load more information to help you get your sick pets back on their feet again on our ParvoBuster website, and don’t forget to check out the Parvaid testimonials left by some of our many satisfied customers.
