This article is designed to give you more insights on using another of our advanced planning tools.
Early on, we found many individuals were having a difficult time trying to decide which products they needed and how many. We thought long and hard on this one and have come up with an exceptional solution:
Product Selector
All you have to do is to fill out the form, press the Calculate button, and instantly your personalized quote will be sent to your screen.
You MUST enter the info for ALL of your dogs regardless of their current state of health. This is the info that we need for each of your dogs in their weight group:
- The number of Healthy Pups (dogs under 14 weeks of age, not showing any symptoms)
- The number of Healthy Adults (dogs 14 weeks old or more, no symptoms)
- The number of Sick Pups (dogs under 14 weeks, with symptoms, start counting from the 1st day)
- The number of Sick Adults (dogs 14 weeks old or more, with symptoms, start counting from the 1st day)
- Enter the number of Pregnant females, if any
- Do ANY of the dogs have bloody diarrhea (click Yes or No)
- When you’re done, click the Calculate Button
Once that happens a SL of calculations are performed, then the Product Selector cherry-picks the best combination of products for your specific situation. It looks at all available options, selects the most cost-effective solution, and then applies the multi-buy discount if more than one package selected.
NOTE: If your dogs are sick, then you MUST use FedEx Overnight. Why?
- We have same-day shipping available Monday - Saturday only. For example, if your dog has been sick for one day, you fill out the form, and place your order AFTER the Saturday cut-off, then that means the products won’t ship until Monday (provided it is not a Federal Holiday, then the products won’t ship until the next business day), and you will get them on Tuesday. So, count it up, now how many days has your dog been showing symptoms? It is not one like you originally indicated - it is now a whopping three plus days since he started showing symptoms.But here’s the reality - he was infected anywhere from 3 - 15 days prior to you even seeing anything. During all of that time the virus was growing and that takes fuel, that being your dog’s bone marrow, his intestinal lining, etc. So your dog could have been sick for nearly two weeks before you ever saw a single symptom!Do NOT ask for Priority Mail as this takes anywhere from 2 - 4 days. A sick untreated dog may only have 4 - 5 days of life at best.
- We have an excellent track record with FedEx. Take a close look at our Shipping Stats Table. The USPS shipping products just don’t cut it. USPS methods are only good if you need to reorder or to replenish your existing supplies.Now, if you have some trouble with getting FedEx deliveries, we can certainly use UPS Overnight products as well. Just put your preference in the Special Notes Section when you place your online order or let us know with your phone order and we’ll make that happen. Cost-wise is negligible, usually the same or under a $1 difference.Either way it is not a problem, we just happen to prefer FedEx, but ultimately we have to get the products to you so we can help save your animals. We’ll ship using whatever carrier works for your location.
- Also, don’t allow your animals to be sick over the entire weekend. If you order by 2:00pm MST (Phoenix, AZ time) on Friday then you can select Overnight + Saturday upgrade which means your products will get to you by lunch-time on Saturday instead of on Monday. Saturday delivery is available to most places in the United States.
It then displays the findings on the Product Selector Results page. See how it looks when we put in the info for our dogs, assuming they all have Parvo.
You will be presented with one or more options. You will also find a cost-break down for each group of products displayed.
All you have to do is:
- Make your selection.
- Click the Overnight message, if displayed.
- Enter your email address to receive a copy of your customized quote.
- Click a single Add-To-Cart button.
- Enter your shipping postal/zip code to get a shipping quote.
- Enter your billing details (i.e. the billing name and address to which the card or PayPal account is registered, including a valid email address so we can send you vital information).
- Enter your product shipping details (i.e. the name and address to which the products should be shipped, if these are different to the billing details).
- Enter your credit or debit card details (Visa, MasterCard, Amex or Discover), or pay via PayPal.
- Expect your package the next business day.
- Carefully read the emails we send as they contain life-saving stop-gap measures that you can take until the products arrive.
- Once you have your package, begin administering the products immediately, using the customized dosage schedules in your email.
Now, we won’t kid you, this will be work and you will have a few sleepless nights, but it is just like your child coming down with chicken pox or measles. So, you and some of your family members could take turns administering the products, or if you won’t be able to allocate the time, then have your vet do it. She may put up a fuss, since she won’t make as much money, and she will want you to sign a waiver stating that she has no knowledge about the products, etc. These reactions are completely expected and you should just go along with it as you don’t have any more time to waste!
If your dog became sick tomorrow night, what would you do? If you are lucky enough to have a 24-hour vet clinic near by, then go, but if you don’t, then what?
Suppose you had a way to treat him within the hour? Would that work for you?
All you have to do is fill out the form, place your order, put the products in a safe cool place (refrigerate when possible). Then, as soon as you see your dog becoming sick, you will administer the products within the hour. No waiting, no rushing around looking for solutions, no surfing the Internet, just start treating him.

If you’re still here reading this, then that means you haven’t clicked the link above.
Why?
Are you still thinking about the cost? OK, then let’s look at the cost.
We have seven dogs (1 is under 10 lbs/4.54 kg, 5 are 21-100 lbs/9.53-45.36 kg, and 1 is in the extra large group of 101-200 lbs/45.81-90.72 kg). We entered their weight details, entered sick for 1 day, no fevers, and that they had bloody diarrhea.
The quote came back with a Gold Configuration of 12 bottles of products. This would be enough to treat ALL of the dogs. The price is roughly $725 USD.
That means:
- Treating all eight dogs for $725 vs. $500 (or more) per single dog at the vet clinic.
- Or having the products available for future emergencies.
- The products have a 4+ shelf life, so let’s say you don’t use the products for four years, which means $180/year (amortized costs), or $15.10/month, or just $0.50/day.
Come on, isn’t your dog at least worth 50 cents a day?
Don’t wait for an emergency, have your products on-hand. You have a medicine cabinet, right? Now, why not make one for your beloved pets?
