Here are a few facts about Canine Parvovirus (also known as CPV, Parvo virus, or more commonly known as Parvo) that you probably don't know about:

1. Problem is, once your dog has been infected, there's about 3-15 days where you will see no symptoms, but the virus is consuming a large amount 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. Once your dog becomes infected and shows any of these symptoms (yellow frothy vomit, diarrhea [with or without blood], lethargy/no energy, wobbly, no appetite, 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 in any number of ways, e.g. touching infected bodily fluids (saliva, vomit, urine, etc.), touching waste products (fecal matter), 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 incredibly 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 your dog does have Parvo and you take him to the vet, be prepared for a bill of anywhere from $500 to over $6,000 USD per dog, and your vet will probably only give the dog a 50% chance of survival.

7. The current Parvo Hot Spots are primarily south of I-70 (Utah, going all across the US southern to Maryland).

8. Some of the hardest hit areas include Texas, California, Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama, but many other states and other nations outside of the USA are starting to experience multiple outbreaks too.

Is there a chemical-free Parvo Remedy or a Home Parvo Treatment you can use?

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

2. If your dog has begun to show any of the symptoms mentioned above, then you have to move fast, so read our free book later and immediately go read our Home Parvo Treatment FAQs, find 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 start treating him with a Parvaid Silver or Gold Value Pack.

3. We will also send more much-needed emergency measures to you via email - since your Parvaid Value Pack will be FedEx Overnighted, your dog may 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).
