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.
