The problem of where to buy Parvaid doesn’t seem like it should be too hard - all you need to do is 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 effective and safe. Sadly, it is not a chemical-based drug, which means that most vets trained in Western Medicine entirely discount organic products as nothing but some alternative solution that cannot possibly work as it has not been approved by the FDA.
Herbal products classed as food supplements or botanicals, which is true of Parvaid and its related products, 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 know next to nothing of organic treatments, and most of the time they will be quite dismissive of any product that hasn’t come from a drug manufacturer as they get plenty of financial incentives for promoting the big pharmaceutical companies’ drug; whereas the small independent herbalist can’t match the payoff levels that a company the size of Pfizer, for example, 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, which is because herbal products usually provide long-term relief vs. drugs that produce a wide range of side-effects that in turn mean you need 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 indefinitely - which 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.
Sadly, in this country we once had a proud tradition of using natural products to treat all sorts of ailments, but a couple of hundred years ago, drugs began to surface, large marketing campaigns were launched claiming how terrific 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. germs, bacteria, parasites, viruses) are getting stronger and stronger 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 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 alternative treatments, you will not readily find these types of products in supermarkets, or even in the larger pet stores such as Pet Co or Pet Smart. 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.
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. Unfortunately, most retailers neither have the required knowledge nor 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.
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 decide to buy Parvaid online, then you have to examine exactly who is selling the products, how much experience do they have should you need help, which happens more times than not, 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.
So, one key to look for is how much material is available on the subject of Parvo. 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
Something else to look out for is the range of shipping methods that they use. 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 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.
If you have not already done so, please visit ParvoBuster to help get your pets back on their feet again, and while you’re there, don’t forget to check out the many Parvaid testimonials that other satisfied customers have left.
