Parvo treatment at home for your dog is a realistic option, compared to the traditional approach of having your dog treated at the animal hospital, 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.

 

 

If your dog has Parvo and you have him treated at the vet’s, it will probably cost you anywhere from $500 USD to over $10,000 USD, and that’s just for a single dog.

 

On the other hand, if you administer Parvo treatment to your dog in the comfort of your own home, using products such as Life Cell Immune Support, Doggie Pain Relief, Parvaid and Vibactra Plus, then you will be able to treat one or more dogs (depending on their weight) for $275 USD or less, and that includes FedEx Overnight shipping (any other shipping method is just too slow, so don’t be tempted by offers of free shipping by some vendors - this free shipping is more often than not USPS Priority Mail, but your dog can be dead by the time your package arrives if you use this type of service).

 

 

Most vets offer dog owners a 50% chance of their dog surviving Parvo, with the worst we’ve come across being a one in three chance, and the best a four out of five chance.

 

On the other hand, if you administer Parvo treatment to your dog at home using all of the products in the Parvo Gold Treatment Kit, then the success rate is typically 90%.

 

Part of this increased success rate is because treating your dog at home, yourself, is much less stressful for both you and your dog, and less stress equals an improved chance of your dog surviving this dreadful virus.

 

24 x 7 support, and the unequalled Parvo vPETS service (regular phone contact every four to five hours during the first two days of full treatment - this does include ALL hours of the day, nights, weekends, holidays, etc. since the Canine Parvovirus doesn’t take a break or mount an attack to suit your schedule) if you can find anybody offering it, can also increase your dog’s chance of overcoming Parvo, but you certainly won’t get this from most vets.

 

 

If you leave your dog at the vet’s, then it is very likely that there will be nobody in attendance during the night, so your dog may well be all alone, or with other sick dogs, for about 12 hours.

 

However, with home Parvo treatment, then you will be there, with your dog, 24 hours a day.

 

Remember, dogs, just like many other animals, are extremely receptive to emotions (or “vibes”, as they’re often known), and being surrounded by people who truly love and care for them will help in their recovery.

 

 

If you have the money and you are prepared to accept the fairly low survival rates offered by vets, then you can basically leave your dog there and collect him again, assuming that he survives, in a few days’ time.

 

If you take the home Parvo treatment route, however, then there will be a few sleepless nights, because one of the products, Parvaid, does need to be administered every single hour (and, yes, that does mean both day and night) for the first two days of the four-day course of treatment.

 

 

There are many good reasons why it makes sense to treat your dog at home if he has Parvo - the lower cost and increased survival rate are the two most obvious ones.

 

There is one downside to administering the home Parvo treatment, and that is the time and effort it will take, but this is a vital part of home Parvo treatment, and the rewards, when you see your sick and almost unrecognizable puppy survive this frequently fatal virus, far outweigh the disadvantage of a few nights without sleep.

 

And with the huge number of issues with vaccinations (which is a whole other story), then the best way to be prepared is to have a Parvo Gold Treatment Kit on hand at all times - that way, if the worst should happen and Parvo strikes, you’ll be able to start treatment at once, even if it’s 5:00am on a Sunday morning, when you’ll almost certainly struggle to find an animal hospital open.
