The problem of where to buy Parvaid doesn’t seem like it should be too hard – just go to the local store and pick up a bottle.

Well, we’re sorry, but that would be just too easy – things are a little bit more complicated than that.

Parvaid is an herbal product that is chemical and synthetic-free. It is both effective and safe. Unfortunately, it is not a chemical-based drug, which means that most vets trained in traditional Western Medicine wholly discount organic products as nothing but some alternative solution that cannot possibly work as it has not been “FDA”-approved.

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

A wall of resistance seems to go up as soon as you mention non-traditional or non-mainstream products. Most vets appear to know nothing about organic treatments, and most of the time they will be quite dismissive of any product that does not come from a drug manufacturer as they receive many financial incentives for promoting drugs from the big pharmaceutical companies; whereas the small independent herbalist can’t come close to matching the payoff levels that a Pfizer can dangle in front of a struggling vet.

It’s therefore very hard to get inexpensive herbal products into established distribution chains. The financial rewards are simply not there, there will be much less residual income, i.e. because herbal products usually provide long-term relief vs. drugs that produce multiple side-effects creating a scenario of additional drugs to counter-act the side-effects, and all this ever does is to put a band-aid on the problems, you could end up taking pills and such for the rest of your life – and that, of course, is a nice, steady earner for vets, month in, month out.

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 natural and organic products to solve all sorts of ailments, but a couple of hundred years ago, drugs began to surface, large marketing campaigns were set up proclaiming how wonderful drugs are and that they are the only road to good health, and so the propaganda machine continued at full force.

The organic market could not then and by-and-large still cannot compete with fat cats and their deep pockets. 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 these days bugs (i.e. viruses, germs, bacteria, parasites) are getting very strong and immune to traditional 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 to help it heal from within. It would be nice to be able to go to your local market and find these organic type products, but as there are no big companies willing to promote these “non-standard” treatments, you will rarely find these sorts of products in supermarkets, or even in any of the larger pet stores such as Pet Smart of Pet Co. You may, however, have some success if you look in small independent pet stores or feed stores.

But there are some things you need to be aware of 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 need 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 reliable is their website.

As you know, there are no shortages of fly-by-night sites out there with many scammers that take money but never deliver.

One good clue is to see how much information about Parvo and Parvo treatment is available on their website. If there is very little info then they probably don’t know much about it and are just selling another product.

Something else to look out for is the range of shipping methods that they use. If the only shipping method is USPS Priority Mail, this is a really good sign that they just don’t get it – Parvo is a deadly virus that kills at a frightening speed, and anything slower than FedEx or UPS Overnight services is just too slow. Some sites even offer free Priority Mail shipping, in an attempt to gain your business, but please don’t be tempted by these, because the money you think you’re saving will probably cost your dog his life, as you wait an extra one to three days for that life-saving package to arrive in the mail.

We have dealt with well over 850 cases of Parvo, we will only use FedEx Priority Overnight (deliveries Monday through Saturday) if your dog is sick, we wrote a 100+ page book all about Parvo which you can download instantly to your computer, Parvo Treatment 101 (no charge), we’ve developed a comprehensive Parvo Home Remedy Plan that will help sustain your dog until the products can be delivered, and we are the only people offering 24×7 personal phone coaching (also at no additional charge).

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 while you’re there, don’t forget to check out the Parvaid testimonials left by some of our many satisfied customers.
