Home Parvo treatment for your dog is a realistic option, compared to the traditional solution of having your dog treated at 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 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 treat your dog at home, using products such as Vibactra Plus, Life Cell Immune Support, Doggie Pain Relief and Parvaid, then you can treat one or more dogs (depending on their weight) for about $275 USD, and that includes FedEx Overnight shipping (any other shipping method is nowhere near fast enough, so don’t be tempted 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).

Success Rate

Most animal hospitals give dog owners a 50% chance of their dog successfully overcoming the Parvo virus, with the lowest we’ve come across being a one in three chance, and the best an 80% chance.

On the other hand, if you treat your Parvo dog at home using the four products in the Parvo Gold Treatment Kit, then the survival rate is 90%, on average.

Part of this increased success rate is because treating your dog at home, yourself, is less stressful for both your dog and you, and less stress equals a better chance of your dog surviving this horrific virus.

24 x 7 support, and the unequalled Parvo vPETS service (constant updates by phone every 4-5 hours or so during the first couple of days of full treatment – this does include ALL hours of the day, nights, weekends, holidays, etc. since the Canine Parvovirus doesn’t take vacations or mount an attack on any type of schedule) if you can find anybody offering it, can also increase your dog’s chance of overcoming Parvo, but you won’t come across many vets offering this.

Care

If you take your dog to the vet’s and they want to keep him there, then it is highly likely that there will be nobody in attendance during the night, so your dog could 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, all day long.

Don’t forget that dogs, just like many other animals, are very sensitive to emotions (or “vibes”, as they’re often known), and having people around who truly care and love for them will speed their recovery.

Effort Required

If you have enough disposable income and you accept the relatively low survival rates offered by animal hospitals, then you can basically drop your dog off there and collect him again, if he doesn’t die, in one to seven days’ time.

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

Conclusion

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 treating your dog at home, and the rewards, when you see your practically terminally-ill and almost unrecognizable doggie come through this often fatal virus, more than compensate for a few nights without sleep.

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 stock at all times – this way, if your dog should be infected by the Parvo virus, you’ll be able to start treatment at once, even if it’s 1:00am on a Sunday morning, when you’ll almost certainly not find an animal hospital open.
