Are You Prepared For A Canine Parvovirus Crisis?

28 13:27:36
Here are some facts about Canine Parvovirus (sometimes referred to as CPV, Parvo virus, or more commonly known as Parvo) that you might not know about:

1. The problem is, once your dog is infected, there are about 3-15 days when no symptoms are showing, but the virus is consuming large amounts of bone marrow, then moving on to consume and destroy a huge number of cells in the intestines - a lot of damage occurs during this period.

2. When your doggie becomes infected and shows any of these symptoms (yellow frothy vomit, diarrhea [with or without blood], lethargy/no energy, no appetite, wobbly, dehydration, very depressed, etc.) then he may only have a few hours to 4 or 5 days left if he is not treated at once.

3. Dogs can easily become infected by any number of ways, e.g. touching infected bodily fluids (saliva, vomit, urine, etc.), touching waste products (feces), nose-to-nose contact, from your clothes, shoes, car tires, birds, insects, or other critters.

4. Parvo can live in the ground from a few months to twenty (20) years.

5. Parvo is extremely hardy: it can survive freezing temperatures (32 degrees F or 0 degrees C) and boiling water (212 degrees F or 100 degrees C).

6. If it turns out your dog does indeed have Parvo and you take him to the vet's, be prepared to spend anywhere from $500 to over $6,000 USD per dog, and your vet will probably give the dog only a 50% chance at survival.

7. The current Parvo Hot Spot areas are mainly south of I-70 (Utah, going all across the US southern as far as Maryland).

8. Some of the hardest hit areas are Texas, California, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama, but almost every US state and other countries outside of the USA are starting to experience Parvo outbreaks as well.

Is there a Home Parvo Treatment or a natural Parvo Remedy you can use?

1. The first thing you must do is to become better educated about this horrific virus, and you can do this by downloading our comprehensive, free ebook, Parvo Treatment 101, from ParvoBook.com - in there you will find a large section on Parvo Prevention and several methods to treat Parvo.

2. If your dog has begun to show any of the symptoms listed above, then you've got to move fast, so read our free book later (while you're waiting for your products to arrive) and immediately go read our Home Parvo Treatment FAQs, look for the Parvo Emergency Tea Recipe - it will not treat Parvo nor will it prevent Parvo, but it is a stop-gap measure to prevent your dog from becoming dehydrated until you can get a Parvaid Silver or Gold Value Pack.

3. We will also send additional much-needed emergency measures to you via email - since your Parvaid Pack will be shipped via a FedEx Overnight service, your dog will need additional measures to help him out until your products arrive.

4. We will help you day or night (24 x 7 customer support as you'll have very little time to save your dog's life).
