Protect Your Canine Companion From the Parvo Virus With A to Z Vet Supply This 2014-15 Winter Season

Canine Parvovirus is a virus that affects dogs of all species, though it was thought to originate in felines.  The viral infection is spread via fecal matter and is extremely resilient and contagious.  Canine parvovirus does not infect humans, fortunately.  However, this does not mean that pet owners shouldn’t be concerned—parvo virus exists in many places people wouldn’t think of.  Even feces that have been cleaned up can leave traces of the virus behind.

Through our services you can buy effective pet vaccines that will kill the parvovirus before it becomes an issue in your dog. 

Our parvo vaccines, especially NEOPAR® are professional-grade and come in many different sizes for many different types of owners and breeders.  Beware that many parvovirus vaccinations need to be shipped in cooled containers, so you should be wary of letting the product sit in the sun or outside of the refrigerator.

Dogs contracting the parvovirus typically don’t show symptoms until about 3-7 days later.  If your dog is excessively lethargic, or is vomiting and has a fever or diarrhea, it’s possible that they have been infected with the parvo virus.  These symptoms can cause dehydration, inflammation and secondary infections.  Whenever your dog is vomiting or has diarrhea, it’s important to realize that this offsets their electrolyte levels, which can result in intestinal problems, anemia and more.

Prevention through vaccination is the only tried and true way to beat the parvo virus. 

This disease is highly contagious and can be fatal.  Quick diagnosis is integral to survival, so if your canine companion is showing any symptoms of this virus, take them to a veterinary professional immediately.  All that can be done for an infected canine is a controlled diet, some anti-nausea treatments, antibiotics to control any secondary infections, direct IV supplements and analgesic medications.

Don’t let your dog catch this menace.  Get regular parvovirus vaccinations.  Our NEOPAR® vaccine is recognized worldwide, and we have a few other treatments available too, as well as kits for parvovirus detection in your pets. 

Stay safe this winter season and be sure to keep your pets safe from Parvo.
