Welcome
Thanks for your support.
So, why have a site on Organic Doggies? The concept is simple: get rid of chemicals, synthetics, over-processed junk-laden products and substitute chemical-free/organic products instead. Is it really worth the extra time, trouble, and possible increased costs to actively seek organic alternatives – is what you may be wondering. Without a doubt the answer is YES and you won’t have to look too far to see this.
Today, we are always strapped for time and look for quick solutions for everything - after all, who doesn’t like saving time? OK, but have you considered the cost of those so-called time saving conveniences?
Yes, as with anything else there is a cost. You may save a little up front but in the long run you’ll probably exhaust any savings with additional costs that creep in. One small example: health care. If you use prescription drugs for yourself or your animals, then you know most of those drugs have side-effects. The side-effects can be worse than the initial problems and they have to be addressed nonetheless.
We will explore ways to incorporate the “organic lifestyle” without having to file bankruptcy. It will require looking at alternatives and doing research, but the long-term benefits far outweigh the initial time spent.
We hope that you find out many new things, begin your journey into a clean, planet-friendly lifestyle for both you and your pets.
Please subscribe so that you will get an automatic notification whenever a new post is made.

To find out more about Patty’s Parvo ordeals - yes, she’s been through this twice now, once by taking her dogs to the vet’s where she spent around $13,000 USD and lost an entire litter, and once using a Home Parvo Treatment kit, where she spent less than $300 USD and saved all her litter - you should read her Case Study.

The Canine Parvo virus very often strikes at the worst possible moment (although there’s never a good time for your pup to be stricken by the Parvo virus, of course) - you may find it’s 3:00am on a Sunday morning, and the vet’s center is not open.
So, what can you do?
You may already be aware that dogs suffering from Parvo are going to dehydrate extremely fast, which explains why veterinarians will likely hook them up to an IV drip; however, IV drips ordinarily are not items you’ll be able to simply purchase at your local supermarket.
Of course, if you don’t know about the dangers associated with lack of fluids, a fast bit of research on the internet will certainly soon give you the information you’re looking for.
The good news is that there is a Read the rest of this entry »

The question of where to buy Parvaid doesn’t seem like it should be too hard - just go to the local store and pick up a bottle.
Sorry, that’s just too easy; it is a little more involved than that.
Parvaid is an herbal product that is both synthetic and chemical-free. It is both safe and effective. Lamentably, since it is not a chemical-based drug, most vets who are Read the rest of this entry »

Almost every dog owner assumes that they need to give their dog Parvo shots to stop them from getting the dreaded Canine Parvovirus, but if your vet told you the truth about these vaccinations, especially the three facts we’ve uncovered based on hundreds of Parvo cases we’ve dealt with, as well as our extensive research, then you’d probably think differently about them.
Firstly, almost all vaccines in use nowadays are no longer protecting dogs against the latest 2c strain of Parvo.
This 2c strain, which first appeared in the United States during 2006 (although it had been present in Europe and other parts of the world for much longer), is much more aggressive and fast-acting than the older 2a and 2b strains.
For example, we had one customer, in the pacific North West, whose dog first showed symptoms of Parvo on a Sunday morning, and by late that same afternoon, it had already succumbed to this horrific virus.
As time goes on, we are witnessing an increasing number of customers who have adult dogs, as well as puppies, that are fully-vaccinated and that are contracting Parvo and are dying from it, unless they are treated in time.
Until not long ago, the only company that manufactured vaccines that had been 100% challenge-tested against the 2c strain was Intervet, but we’ve now had customers whose dogs were vaccinated using their products, and yet still contracted Parvo.
So, don’t assume that because your dog (whether old or young) has been vaccinated, he’s safe and will be immune.
Secondly, and we know this sounds counter-intuitive, but dogs are actually getting full-blown Parvo from the Parvo vaccinations.
Once again, many of our customers have dogs that display full-scale symptoms of Parvo within literally one or two days after being given their shots.
We know that some of our customers get this, because they themselves have told us that their own children have developed ‘flu shortly after being given their ‘flu jabs.
Well, exactly the same thing is going on with dogs and their Parvovirus shots.
If you stop to consider this for a moment, the vaccines contain modified versions of the live virus, and they are designed to weaken the dog’s immune system, as that is how they are supposed to work - well, that’s the theory. To add insult to injury, many vaccines contain multiple viruses - anywhere from four to seven or eight at a time.
Lastly, and perhaps most disturbing of all, is the fact that your dog’s immune system can be weakened by any vaccinations, not just Parvo ones. The results of this are obvious: your dog will have an increased chance of becoming ill in the future.
Other side-effects of vaccinations include chronic inflammation, which will cause the obvious issues like arthritis, but it’s now been proven that inflammation is a leading cause of cancer.
To top it off, the vaccines themselves also contain a wide variety of toxic chemicals, none of which are good for your dog and could cause additional problems.
It’s good that the recommendation for annual booster shots has been reduced by the AVMA to just every three years, but even this is too much. Ongoing research has proven that vaccinations will provide immunity for at least seven years, and perhaps even life.
So in summary then, Parvo vaccinations are no longer that effective against the 2c strain, they may even give your dog full-blown Parvo, and they can cause long-term health issues such as cancer.
If you were to ask your vet, he’d probably disagree with all that we’ve said here, but please bear in mind - it’s your dog, and you have the right to be told all of the facts before coming to an informed decision about which Parvo treatment to go fo, and not be hectored into doing something you don’t want to do.

If you buy Parvaid, together with other products such as Life Cell Immune Support, Doggie Pain Relief (aka Pet’s Pain Formula) and Vibactra Plus, then you’re giving your doggie a chance to survive the horrific Canine Parvovirus.
All of our products, including Parvaid, are 100% natural, containing herbs that are completely human-grade. There are no synthetics and no chemicals, 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 give your dog.
We appreciate that you may be skeptical about the effectiveness of herbal products such as Parvaid, so let’s talk numbers for a moment.

Parvo (more correctly known as Canine Parvovirus) is devastating, not only emotionally (mere words simply cannot do justice to how it feels to see your beloved dog healthy one minute, and incredibly sick the next, with vomit and blood-filled, foul-smelling diarrhea everywhere), but also financially.
From the minute you notice your dog isn’t well, the typical vet’s costs associated with treating Parvo just keep adding up (and up).
To begin with, you’ll probably need to pay Read the rest of this entry »

Here are some facts about Canine Parvovirus (also known as CPV, Parvo virus, or more commonly known as Parvo) that you might not know about:
-
The problem is, once your dog has been infected, there are about 3-15 days when you will see no symptoms, but the virus is consuming large amounts of bone marrow, then moving on to consume and destroy a huge number of cells in the intestines - a lot of damage occurs at this stage.
-
When 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 Read the rest of this entry »

Here are some interesting facts:
- 58.3% of all American households have at least one pet
- There are more than 60 million pet dogs in American homes
- Pet owners are now spending about $19 billion USD each year in 2006 (nearly doubled that of $11.1 billion USD in 1996)
Some of the main problems our canids face each day are actually preventable.
These are the common problems that most dog owners will encounter at some time or another:
