The problem of where to buy Parvaid seems like it should be 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 free of both synthetics and chemicals. It is both effective and safe. Lamentably, since it is not a chemical-based drug, most vets trained in Western Medicine entirely dismiss organic products as just some alternative solution that can’t possibly work as it has not been “FDA”-approved.
Herbal products that are classed as botanicals or food supplements, 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 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 appear to know nothing about organic treatments, and on many occasions they will be quite dismissive of any product that wasn’t produced by a drug manufacturer as they get many financial incentives for pushing drugs from the big pharmaceutical companies; 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 simply not there, there will be much less residual income, i.e. because herbal products frequently provide long-term relief vs. drugs that cause multiple side-effects that in turn mean you need still further 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 could end up taking pills and such indefinitely – 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?
Unfortunately, in this country we once had a proud tradition of using organic products to solve all kinds of ailments, but a couple of hundred years ago, drugs began to surface, large marketing campaigns were set up claiming how marvelous 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 brainwash people, day after day after day, with hype-filled ads that play on their emotions, they will get so worn down that they will come to believe the only viable solution is drugs.
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. germs, bacteria, parasites, viruses) are getting stronger and stronger 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 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 they are not mainstream and there are no big companies willing to promote this type of alternative treatment plan, you will rarely find these kinds 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 feed stores or pet stores.
But there are some things you need to 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 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 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 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
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 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 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 you have Parvo on your property in the case of dogs, or Feline Distemper in the case of cats (unfortunately, cats can become infected from Parvo dogs in the form of Feline Distemper), then you will need support throughout this horrifying 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 kindly provided by some of our many satisfied customers.
