What Is Canine Parvovirus?
Parvovirus is often referred to as "parvo." It is a highly infectious viral disease that can severely impact your dog’s health, particularly if they're a puppy. It primarily targets the gastrointestinal tract, leading to symptoms that can be quite distressing.
Symptoms:
• Lethargy
• Bloody Diarrhea
• Abdominal Pain
• Vomiting
• Dehydration
• Weakness
• Collapse
• Loss of Appetite
How Is Parvovirus Spread?
If parvovirus is left untreated it can be fatal. It can spread through direct contact with infected dogs through:
• Feces
• Virus contaminated surfaces
• Yards
• Dog parks
• Can be virtually impossible to avoid
How to Prevent the Spread of Parvovirus?
By following the steps below you can help prevent the spread of CPV.
• Isolate your puppy from other dogs (quarantine from other dogs – please talk to you veterinarian regarding timelines)
• Remove feces promptly
• Decontaminate by cleaning and disinfecting areas
How to Protect Your Pets from Parvovirus
Vaccinations are key! The best defense against parvo is vaccination. Talk to your veterinarian about getting your pets all the vaccinations they need to live a longer, happier life.
The Trutect Difference
Trutect is the first and only targeted treatment for parvo and may help your pup feel better, faster.1
It is one dose. It is proven effective. It may help dogs get home sooner.1
Trutect is used in addition to supportive care.
Traditional supportive care for parvovirus includes fluid therapy to help with dehydration, antibiotics to prevent secondary infections and other medications to relieve vomiting, nausea or pain.
Survivor Stories
Trutect is helping puppies across the world, such as Cookie, Aiden, Mango, Brayden and Tacoma and others – some of the first dogs to receive the treatment and return to their families.
Similarly, many puppies living in shelters and treated for parvo with Trutect are now adopted and living in their forever homes.
Trutect has also now been used in Canadian puppies!
Neytiri, Jake, Diesel and Bear were some of our first Canadian puppies to receive the treatment benefits of Trutect!
