Parvo Treatment At Home - Why It’s Better Than Veterinary Treatment
Home Parvo treatment for your dog is a perfectly practical and effective option, compared to the usual solution of taking your dog to the vet’s, even though many people will tell you that this is foolish.
So, let’s look at a few different factors, so that you can decide for yourself.
How Much Will It Cost?
If your dog has Parvo and you have him treated at the animal hospital, it will probably cost you anywhere from $500 USD to over $10,000 USD per dog.
On the other hand, if you treat your dog at home, using products such as Parvaid, Vibactra Plus, Life Cell Immune Support and Doggie Pain Relief, then you will be able to treat at least one dog, and maybe more (depending on their weight) for about $275 USD, and that includes FedEx Overnight shipping (anything else is nowhere near fast enough, so don’t be taken in by offers of free shipping by some vendors - this free shipping is usually USPS Priority Mail, but if you wait for that, your dog can be dead by the time your package arrives).
Chances Of Success
Most animal hospitals will give dog owners a mere 50% chance of their dog successfully overcoming the Parvo virus, with the lowest we’ve heard being a one in three chance, and the highest an 80% chance.
On the other hand, if you administer Parvo treatment to your puppy at home using the four products in the Parvo Gold Treatment Kit, then the survival rate is typically 90%.
Part of this increased success rate is because treating your dog at home, yourself, is less stressful for both you and your dog, and reduced stress results in an improved chance of your dog surviving this dreadful virus.
24 x 7 support, and the unique Parvo vPETS service (constant updates by phone every four to five hours during the first couple of days of full treatment - this does include hourly treatment, throughout the night as well, since the Canine Parvovirus doesn’t take a break or mount its attack on any type of schedule) if you can find it, can also increase your dog’s chance of beating Parvo, but you won’t get this from most vets.
Care
If you take your dog to the vet’s and they want to keep him there, then it is very likely that nobody will be in attendance over night, so your dog may well be all alone, or with other sick dogs, for 12 hours or more.
However, if you carry out the Parvo treatment at home, then you will be there, with your dog, all day long.
Remember, dogs, just like many other animals, are very receptive to emotions (or “vibes”, as they’re often known), and having people around who truly love and care for them will help in their recovery.
Effort Required
If you have the money and you are prepared to accept the fairly low survival rates offered by vets, then you can basically drop your dog off there and pick him up again, assuming that he doesn’t die, in a few days’ time.
If you opt for home Parvo treatment, however, then you do need to be prepared for some nights without sleep, because one of the products, Parvaid, needs to be given every single hour (and that does mean both day and night) during the first two days of the four-day course of treatment.
Summary
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.
The only real downside is the time and effort it will take, but this is a necessary part of home Parvo treatment, and the rewards, when you see your practically terminally-ill and almost unrecognizable puppy survive this often fatal virus, far outweigh the disadvantage of a few days’ sleepless nights.
You may think that vaccinations are the way to stop your dog getting Parvo, but there are a huge number of problems with administering shots to your dog (which is a whole other story), so the best and arguably only way to be prepared is to have a Parvo Gold Treatment Kit in your cupboard at all times - this way, if the worst should happen and Parvo strikes, you’ll be able to begin treatment without delay, even if it’s 3:00am on a Sunday morning, when you’ll almost certainly not find a vet open.
