Worm infestation is a common ailment in dogs. Worms are parasites that live inside of your dog and all cause different problems. It all depends upon the kind of worm your pet has. There are generally five major worm types: roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, whipworms and the heartworm. These worms can cause light to severe complications and must be treated. Let’s take a look at the different types of parasites and what each one does.

The roundworm is the most common infestation. This parasite will pass to pups from their mothers either before birth or while she is nursing. Roundworms can be passed to humans. In dogs, this worm causes a potbellied appearance and weight loss. These worms multiply at a very fast rate if left untreated. An adult female roundworm can lay up to 200,000 eggs daily for a year. This may cause an obstruction in the dog’s intestinal tract and lead to death. You should treat your pets with a regular schedule of de-wormer beginning when pups are weaned. Commercial as well as natural treatments are available.

Parvaid - Why You Should Always Purchase It Now

by Rae and Mark

If you buy Parvaid, together with its companion products such as Doggie Pain Relief (aka Pet’s Pain Formula), Vibactra Plus and Life Cell Immune Support, then you’re giving your doggie a chance to survive the horrific Canine Parvovirus.

Parvaid, and all our other products, are 100% natural, containing herbs that are entirely human-grade. There are no chemicals and no synthetics, which means that they are completely safe and have no side-effects, which is not the case with the prescription drugs and meds that your vet will try to administer to your dog.

We appreciate that you may be skeptical about the success rate of herbal products such as Parvaid, so let’s talk numbers for a moment.

Did you know, for example, that most vets will only give your doggie a 33% to 80% chance of surviving Parvo, and that’s if you have him treated at the emergency clinic, animal hospital or vet, where their costs range from $500 USD to over $10,000 USD per dog?
