Parvo Emergency Tea - The Clue is in the Name

Many people know that if a dog has Parvo then you need to keep them hydrated, and there are two main choices - you can take your dog to the vet's, where they will use IV fluids, or you can hydrate your sick dog yourself, at home.

If you choose the latter option, then vets may provide you Sub Q fluids (at great cost, considering it's basically a bag of salty water), which we don't recommend in most cases, or you can use a home remedy.

The most popular home hydration therapy is Pedialyte, but we also don't recommend that because in our experience of helping treat dogs for Parvo (we've worked with over 3,600 at the time of writing), Pedialyte can cause additional vomiting, which is one of the last things you need when your dog has Parvo.

We also don't recommend Gatorade, for similar reasons.

So, what do we recommend as a home hydration therapy?

In our considered opinion, the Parvo Emergency Tea is the best and safest home remedy to prevent dehydration - but make sure you use one that does not include Pedialyte, as mentioned above, or garlic, (which can also cause vomiting).

Now, the Parvo tea is very good, and it can even help quell any vomiting, but the crucial thing is to get going with it at once - the clue is in the name, Parvo EMERGENCY Tea.

The word "emergency" has more than a strong implication of taking IMMEDIATE action.

Consider this: if you took your sick dog to the vet's, would you expect them to leave him sitting there, throwing up and maybe with bloody diarrhea squirting out of its rear, for 12 hours before they even did anything?

We hope you wouldn't!

But that's exactly what some of our customers have done - and in most cases, their inaction has cost their dogs their lives.

Parvo strikes really quickly - some dogs die in as few as five hours after the first physical symptoms (e.g. vomit, diarrhea) - so you cannot afford to waste any time.

So, whatever you decide to do in terms of treatment, please, please take action STRAIGHT AWAY - every hour you delay makes it that bit more likely that your sick doggie won't make it.
