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.
Sorry, but you know that life is usually a lot more compex than that!
Parvaid is an herbal product that is chemical and synthetic-free. It is both safe and effective. Unfortunately, it is not a chemical-based drug, which means that most vets who are trained in Western Medicine entirely discount organic products as just some alternative solution that can’t possibly work as it is not “FDA”-approved.
Herbal products that are classed as food supplements or botanicals, 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 need not 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 at all of organic treatments, and most of the time they will be rather dismissive of any product that wasn’t produced by a drug manufacturer as they receive a lot of financial incentives for promoting drugs from the big pharmaceutical companies; whereas the small independent herbalist can’t match the payoff levels that a Pfizer 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 simply not there, there will be much less residual income, i.e. because herbal products tend to provide long-term relief vs. drugs that produce an array of side-effects creating a scenario of extra drugs to counter-act the side-effects, and to continue to put a sticking plaster on the problems, you might have to take 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.
Sadly, in this country we once had a proud tradition of using organic and natural products to solve all types of ailments, but 200 years ago or so, drugs began to surface, large marketing campaigns were set in motion claiming how marvelous drugs are and that they are the only path 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 nowadays bugs (i.e. bacteria, parasites, viruses, germs) are getting very strong and resistant to conventional treatments. You may find it easier to get your hands on chemical-based products but you probably won’t get the type of relief that you need.
Products such as 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 “non-standard” treatments, you will rarely 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, be more likely to find what you’re looking for if you look in small independent pet stores or feed stores.
Before you take this approach, there are a few facts you should be aware of 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.
Now, in order to maximize your dog’s chance for a successful recovery, you will need to know how to use this product and you will also have to administer several home remedies for Parvo in conjunction. Retailers of this product simply will not have that body of knowledge or 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.
Now of course, if you buy from the retail store it would save some a bit of time (and perhaps some money as you would not have to pay for shipping - just gas and time), but you will not get any support whatsoever. If anything does go wrong, because no matter how good the products are (and they are!), some dogs don’t respond to the standard treatment protocols for any number of reasons and therefore need adjusted dosage schedules, you’ll probably find that you’ll get no help from the store you bought the products from as they simply won’t have the knowledge and experience that you’ll need.
If you decide to buy Parvaid online, then you need to examine who is selling the products, how much experience do they have should you need help, which is most of the time, and how reliable 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 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 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.
If you have not already done so, please visit ParvoBuster to help get your pets back on their feet again, and don’t forget to check out the many Parvaid testimonials kindly provided by some of our many satisfied customers.
