We are, of course, always sorry to hear about any dog succumbing to the Canine Parvovirus:

However, this just serves to remind people that the 2c strain is very different to the older strains that were prevalent in the 1990s, and even the earlier part of the current decade.
Back then, keeping a dog hydrated was often enough to save it, but this is no longer the case with the 2c strain - you still need to keep sick dogs hydrated, and you also need to prevent hypoglycemia (which is caused by Parvo dogs not eating - sometimes for many days), but you also need to attack the virus on several different fronts, and that is exactly what the products in our Gold Value Pack do.
With vaccinations no longer being a viable solution, then we would strongly recommend having the necessary products on hand at all times, as this virus can now kill dogs in as little as six hours after symptoms first appear.
Place your order now, and you’ll be prepared should the worst happen.
Following on from earlier news about Oprah Winfrey’s latest experience with Parvo, there is another article about this in her O magazine:

There’s one more thing we’d like to add to our previous post, and it’s this: if somebody with Read the rest of this entry »
The question 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 free of both chemicals and synthetics. It is both effective and safe. Sadly, since it is not a chemical-based drug, most vets who are trained in Western Medicine completely dismiss organic products as nothing but some alternative solution that cannot possibly work as it has not been approved by the FDA.
Herbal products that are food supplements or botanicals, 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.
Whenever you run into non-traditional and non-mainstream products, you will find a Read the rest of this entry »
If there’s one common theme that we can see in many of the 850+ customers we’ve worked with over the past two years, it’s this: people don’t seem to comprehend just how fast-acting and aggressive the Canine Parvo virus is.
You can go to bed one night, with a perfectly healthy-looking, happy dog, and wake up in the morning to a very sick one - and, yes, the title of this article is not just a play on a popular expression, because Parvo has an unmistakable smell, as the diarrhea, which is frequently one of the first symptoms to appear with the latest 2c strain of this virus, is absolutely disgusting and unlike anything else you may have experienced before.
We had one customer, in the Pacific Northwest, whose dog first showed symptoms of Parvo on a Sunday morning, and by later that afternoon, Read the rest of this entry »
In April 2009, we had a call from a man in Florida, who had already lost several dogs to Parvo, and now he had a whole litter of new-born Doberman Pinschers that were sick too.
We could tell this was going to be a difficult one, not only because Read the rest of this entry »
It’s great to see Oprah Winfrey with her rescued puppy, Sadie, after she came so close to dying from the devastating Parvo virus:

At the same time, of course, it’s sad that she lost Ivan.
As Oprah intimates in this article, Parvo was a very different virus 13 years ago than it is today.

The Colorado Spring Gazette published an article recently on vaccinations, which is not, by itself, unusual, as lots of online papers regularly publish such stories.
What makes this particular story unusual, though, is that it is one of the few that does admit to vaccinations causing some problems.
You can read the full story here.
Unfortunately, the article does not go far enough, and fails to mention some of the other inherent problems with Parvo shots, and vaccinations in general, and so we would suggest that you read a post we made on this blog a while ago, entitled “Parvo Vaccinations - What The Vet Won’t Tell You!“, that explains why we recommend not vaccinating your dog.
