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 wall of resistance. Most vets appear to know next to nothing of organic treatments, and most of the time they will be rather dismissive of any product that does not come from a drug manufacturer as they receive a lot of financial incentives for promoting drugs from the big pharmaceutical companies; whereas the small independent herbalist can’t come close to matching the payoff levels that a Pfizer can use to incentivize a struggling vet.
So, trying to get inexpensive herbal products into established distribution chains is not easy. The financial rewards are simply not there, there will be much less residual income, which is because herbal products tend to provide long-term relief vs. drugs that produce multiple side-effects that in turn mean you need extra drugs to counter-act the side-effects, and all this ever does is to put a sticking plaster on the problems, to the point where you might have to take pills and such for the rest of your life - and that, of course, is a nice, steady earner for vets, month in, month out.
Given a choice between getting paid once or getting paid over and over, which do you think the big drug companies will select?
Unfortunately, there used to be a proud tradition in this country of using organic products to solve all manner of ailments, but a couple of hundred years ago, drugs began to appear, massive marketing campaigns were set up proclaiming how marvelous drugs are and that they are the only path 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 these days bugs (i.e. parasites, viruses, germs, bacteria) are getting very strong and resistant to conventional 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 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 they are not mainstream and there are no big companies willing to promote this type of alternative treatment plan, you will not readily find these kinds of products in supermarkets, or even in the larger pet stores such as Pet Smart of Pet Co. You may, however, be more likely to find what you’re looking for if you look in small independent pet stores or feed stores.
Before you take this approach, there are a few facts you should 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.
Because here’s the thing - if you want to give your dog the best possible chance of surviving Parvo, then you not only need to know the correct way to administer the product but also how to make and give a few home remedies at the same time. Unfortunately, most retailers neither have the necessary 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.
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 anything does go wrong, because no matter how good the products are (and they are!), some dogs don’t respond to the standard treatment protocols for any number of reasons and therefore need adjusted dosage schedules, you’ll probably find that you’ll get no help from the store you bought the products from as they simply won’t have the knowledge and experience that you’ll need.
If you buy Parvaid online, then you must look at who is selling the products, how much experience do they have should you need help, which is most of the time, and how trustworthy 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 there is very little info then they probably don’t know much about it and are just selling another product.
Something else to look out for is the range of shipping methods that they use. If the only shipping method is USPS Priority Mail, this is a really good sign that they just don’t get it - Parvo is a deadly virus that kills at a frightening speed, and anything slower than FedEx or UPS Overnight services is just too slow. Some sites even offer free Priority Mail shipping, in an attempt to gain your business, but please don’t be tempted by these, because the money you think you’re saving will probably cost your dog his life, as you wait an extra one to three days for that life-saving package to arrive in the mail.
We have dealt with well over 850 cases of Parvo, we will only use FedEx Priority Overnight (deliveries Monday through Saturday) if your dog is sick, 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 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.
If you have not already done so, please visit ParvoBuster to help get your pets back on their feet again, and don’t forget to check out the Parvaid testimonials left by some of our many satisfied customers.
