How Did My Dog Get Parvo?
We hear time and time again from our customers, especially those who are breeders, that their puppies have never ever set foot outside the house and yet are still getting Parvo.
Not surprisingly, they want to know how this is possible.
Well, in most cases, it’s almost impossible to track down the source of the Parvo infection, but here are a few ways your dog can get sick, other than the usual method of coming into contact with infected feces.
- Infected vomit can also carry the virus, and with this often looking like a clear / off-white mucus gel at first, it’s not as easily spotted as feces.
- Nose-to-nose contact with other dogs can transmit the virus.
- Although Parvo is not an airborne virus in the traditional sense of the word, once feces dries out, particles can get blown around in the wind, and that can carry the virus on to your property.
- You can carry the virus on to your property on your car tyres (e.g. if you happen to drive over some infected feces).
- Birds, insects and other animals can transmit the virus to your property. They only need to land or step in some infected feces (or vomit) elsewhere, and then land in your back yard, and now you’ve got the virus too.
So, all of these can explain how your property can become infected with Parvo, but that still doesn’t explain how dogs that never go outside can get it.
Well, we hate to say it, but the most likely culprit is Read the rest of this entry »
Shipping Rate Increases (And What You Can Do About It)
Please note that the annual round of shipping rate increases is now upon us.
Specifically:
- FedEx will be increasing their rates by about 7% as from Monday, 5 January 2009.
- The US Postal Service will be increasing their rates, as from Sunday, 18 January 2009: Priority Mail will increase by 4%, Express Mail by 6% and International services by 9%.
(Although we don’t use them, UPS will also be increasing their rates at the same time as FedEx, and DHL will be ceasing all US domestic services as from Friday, 30 January 2009.)
Note that these are across-the-board increases (i.e. they are not just specific to us) – you will probably find similar shipping increases on other websites that you use.

Parvo Vaccinations – What The Vet Won’t Tell You!
Parvo vaccinations have long been accepted as a vital precaution in preventing your dog from being infected by the Canine Parvovirus, and yet our research and experience with our own customers highlights three major things that your vet probably isn’t telling you.
Firstly, most vaccines in use today are no longer Read the rest of this entry »
Parvovirus Can Be Avoided Through Vaccines
The Bugle Observer, from New Brunswick, Canada, reports a fairly typical story about Canine Parvovirus, with information that is mainly helpful, although it doesn’t really tell the full story, and that’s dangerous.
You can read the full story here.
According to Merck, other breeds that are more prone to Parvo than others include some of the most popular dogs in the US today, namely, Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds and Pit Bulls.
Many of our customers have these dogs, especially Pit Bulls, and we’re finding that both puppies and adults, vaccinated and unvaccinated, are being infected by Parvo and dying, if not treated.
Which brings us on to our second and most important point – vaccinations are Read the rest of this entry »
Home Parvo Treatment – The Advantages And Disadvantages
Parvo treatment at home for your dog is a realistic option, compared to the traditional approach of having your dog treated at the vet’s, even though many people will tell you that this is foolish.
If you’re not convinced, then here are a few facts to consider to help you make up your mind.
How Much Will It Cost?
If your dog has Parvo and you have him treated at the vet’s, it is likely to cost you anywhere from Read the rest of this entry »
Returns Policy – Major Change
We have regrettably had to change our Returns & Refund Policy because of the ever-increasing virulence of the latest 2c strain of Parvo.
We will no longer be able to accept returned packages back because of the high risk of contamination and the danger this poses to other people and their dogs.
For further details, please read our Returns Policy page.

Why Buy Parvaid?
If you purchase Parvaid, along with its companion products such as Life Cell Immune Support, Doggie Pain Relief (aka Pet’s Pain Formula) and Vibactra Plus, then you’re giving your dog a chance to survive the often deadly Canine Parvovirus.
All of our products, including Parvaid, are 100% natural, containing herbs that are entirely human-grade. There are no chemicals and no synthetics, and that means they are totally safe, with no side-effects, which is not the case with the prescription drugs and meds that your vet will try to give your dog.
We understand that you may be skeptical about the effectiveness of herbal products such as Parvaid, so let’s talk numbers for a moment.
Home Parvo Treatment Protocols Updated Again
As of today, we’ve had to upgrade the protocols for treating Parvo once again.
The Parvo virus is growing ever stronger, and we’re finding that more and more cases are proving harder to treat using the old protocols, in what we sold as our Silver Value Packs.
And although the Silver Value Pack is still the manufacturer’s recommended protocol for treating dogs that have been exposed but are not yet showing symptoms, many of our customers find that dogs that were healthy at the time they ordered their products are sick by the time their order arrives. This means that they then do not have the right products to treat these dogs.
So, our minimum configuration now is the Gold Value Pack, that contains Parvaid, Vibactra Plus, Life Cell Immune Support and Doggie Pain Relief.
Our sites and documentation have already been updated to reflect these changes.
Remember, the best possible way to protect your dogs is to have at least a Gold Value Pack on hand at all times, then you can start treatment the instant you see any symptoms. And because all of our products have a 4+ year shelf life, they’ll last for a long time.
Lowering Your Parvo Treatment Costs – Part 1
Parvo (which is correctly known as Canine Parvovirus) is devastating, not only emotionally (words simply cannot do justice to how it feels to see your cherished dog healthy one minute, and incredibly sick the next, with vomit and foul-smelling, blood-filled diarrhea everywhere), but also financially.
From the minute you notice your dog is sick, the typical vet’s costs associated with treating Parvo just keep adding up (and up).
To start with, you’ll probably need to pay Read the rest of this entry »
