The problem of where to buy Parvaid doesn’t seem that difficult - all you need to do is 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 chemical and synthetic-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 nothing but some alternative solution that cannot possibly work as it has not been “FDA”-approved.
Herbal products classed as botanicals or food supplements, as in the case of Parvaid and all of the other products required to treat Parvo, do not have to be evaluated by the FDA and therefore need not 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 know practically nothing about organic treatments, and in many cases they will be quite dismissive of any product that does not come from a drug manufacturer as they get many financial incentives for pushing drugs from the big pharmaceutical companies; the small, independent herbalist, on the other hand, can’t come close to matching the payoff levels that a Pfizer can use to incentivize a struggling vet.
So, trying to get inexpensive herbal products into established distribution chains is not easy. The financial rewards are simply not there, there will be much less residual income, which is because herbal products usually provide long-term relief compared to drugs that cause an array of side-effects creating a scenario of even more drugs to counter-act the side-effects, and to continue to put a band-aid on the problems, you might have to take pills and such for the rest of your life - which brings in a steady flow of cash each month.
Given a choice between getting paid once or getting paid over and over, which do you think the big drug companies will select?
Sadly, there used to be a proud tradition in this country of using organic and natural products to solve all manner of ailments, but a couple of hundred years ago, drugs began to appear, massive marketing campaigns were set in motion proclaiming how wonderful drugs are and that they are the only path to good health, and so the propaganda machine went on 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.
Most people grow up with the “pop a couple of pills and all will be right” mentality. But in this day and age bugs (i.e. bacteria, parasites, viruses, germs) are getting very strong and resistant 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, and not against, it, 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 alternative treatments, you will not readily find these kinds of products in supermarkets, or even in the larger pet stores such as Pet Smart of Pet Co. You may, however, be more likely to find what you’re looking for if you look in small independent pet stores or feed stores.
But before you do this, there are a few things you need to know first.
Most of the smaller retailers selling Parvaid just carry this product like any other product, and they know nothing about how it works or how to use it successfully. For them this is just another product 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. Unfortunately, most retailers neither have the required knowledge nor expertise.
Also the manufacturer requires a minimum of four (4) different products to treat sick Parvo dogs or exposed Parvo puppies as well as exposed adult dogs. Many retailers do not carry all of the required products.
This leaves you with a dilemma: spend valuable time hunting down a retail store in your area (and this could be hundreds of miles away) and hope that they have what you need product-wise, and then come home and deal with your sick pets on your own as best you can, or you could 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 must look at exactly who is selling the products, how much experience do they have should you need help, which is most of the time, and how trustworthy 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 way you can tell is to look for the quantity of Parvo information that is on their website. If you can’t find very much (and on some sites, you’ll find none at all), then it’s highly likely that these are nothing more than a few additional products to them, which in turn means they’ll know very little about Parvo and its treatment
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 make available a 100+ page book that we wrote all about Parvo, called Parvo Treatment 101, which you can download to your computer instantly and completely free of 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.
