Where To Buy Parvaid - Pros And Cons
Posted by Rae and Mark under: Health .
The question of where to buy Parvaid seems like it should be simple enough - all you need to do is go to the local store and pick up a bottle.
Sorry, but you know that life is usually a lot more compex than that!
Parvaid is an herbal product that is chemical and synthetic-free. It is both effective and safe. Lamentably, it is not a chemical-based drug, which means that most vets who are trained in Western Medicine completely discount organic products as nothing but some alternative solution that can’t possibly work as it is not approved by the FDA.
Herbal products that are botanicals or food supplements, which is true of Parvaid and its related products, do not need to be evaluated by the FDA and therefore need not be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.
A wall of resistance seems to go up as soon as you mention non-traditional or non-mainstream products. Most vets know next to nothing of organic treatments, and in many cases they will be rather dismissive of any product that wasn’t produced by a drug manufacturer as they receive a lot of financial incentives for promoting the big pharmaceutical companies’ drug; whereas the small independent herbalist can’t come close to matching the payoff levels that a Pfizer can dangle in front of 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 far less residual income, i.e. because herbal products usually provide long-term relief compared to drugs that produce multiple side-effects that in turn mean you need even more 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 could end up taking pills and such indefinitely - and that, of course, brings in a steady flow of cash each month.
Given a choice between getting paid once or getting paid over and over, which do you think the big drug companies will select?
Sadly, there used to be a proud tradition in this country of using organic and natural products to treat all kinds of ailments, but a couple of hundred years ago, drugs began to surface, massive marketing campaigns were set in motion claiming how marvelous drugs are and that they are the only road to good health, and so the propaganda machine went on full force.
Companies in the organic marketplace have never been able to compete with the pharmaceutical fat cats, with their deep pockets, and for the most part, still can’t. If you play ads hundreds of times a day that fill people with hype, work on their emotions, and basically wear them down, they will think there are no other viable solutions and therefore the drugs must be the answer.
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 nowadays bugs (i.e. parasites, viruses, germs, bacteria) are getting stronger and stronger and resistant to traditional treatments. You may find it easier to get your hands on chemical-based products but you probably won’t get the type of relief that you need.
Products such as Parvaid work with the body, and not against, it, to help it heal from within. If you could go to your local market and pick up this type of organic product, that would be great, but as there are no big companies willing to promote these “non-standard” treatments, you will not readily find these types of products in supermarkets, or even in any of 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 feed stores or pet stores.
Before you take this approach, there are a few facts you should be aware of first.
Very few of the smaller retailers who sell Parvaid really know much about the product or how best to use it for maximum effect, because to them, it’s nothing more than another item on the shelf.
Now, in order to maximize your dog’s chance for a successful recovery, you will need to know how to use this product and you will also have to administer several home remedies for Parvo in conjunction. Unfortunately, most retailers neither have the necessary knowledge nor expertise.
Also the manufacturer requires a minimum of four (4) different products to treat sick Parvo dogs or exposed Parvo puppies as well as exposed adult dogs. Many retailers do not carry all of the 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 something goes wrong, you will not be able to get any help from them as they won’t know how to answer your questions - they just don’t have that body of knowledge.
If you buy Parvaid online, then you have to look at who is selling the products, how much experience do they have in case 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.
So, one key to look for is how much material is available on the subject of Parvo. 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’ve dealt with 870 cases of Parvo (and counting), we will only use FedEx Priority Overnight (deliveries Monday through Saturday) if your dog is sick, we wrote a 100+ page book all about Parvo which you can download instantly to your computer, Parvo Treatment 101 (no charge), we’ve developed a comprehensive Parvo Home Remedy Plan that will help sustain your dog until the products can be delivered, 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 our Parvo Emergency Treatment site to help get your pets back on their feet again.
