An alternative to the games for kids on the Internet is a new and exciting pastime, the collectible card game. Kids have the opportunity to pit their skills against others in real life, and interact in ways that aren’t possible in the online world.

One major attraction to the fun provided by a trading card game is the artwork that’s available on these cards. Artists from all over the world contribute to the design and sometimes to the very concept of the character. The collectible card game fad is also popular due to the value of the trading cards, and the trading potential. If you keep the cards in great shape, their value can increase over the years. So besides a large number of hours of play, you have an asset that can connect you with other collectors over time.

Strategic gameplay with kids games is also good for the imagination and strengthening creative skills. Kids have to use intellect and wit to beat out their opponents. A plus is that a card game takes no batteries, no computer, no special appliances. Just people! And the cards of course.

The tales behind the games also make for great entertainment. Perhaps the player will be protecting an entire world from destruction. Maybe they will be able to act out a hero role in the activity. From fantasy to the now popular sci-fi themes, you can find anything you like in the way of concepts for games. Most collectible card games are also family-friendly. This means the entire family can get together for some quality time and share in the fun. With some games providing positive messages, such as saving the environment, there’s a lot to be gained for everyone.

If there’s one common theme that we can see in many of the 850+ customers we’ve worked with over the past two years, it’s this: dog owners don’t seem to understand just how aggressive and fast-acting the Canine Parvo virus is.

One night, you might go to bed, knowing that your dog is happy and healthy, and by morning, when you get up, that same dog is incredibly sick and maybe even near death’s door – and, yes, the title of this article is not just a play on a popular expression, because Parvo has an unmistakable smell, as the diarrhea, which is frequently one of the first symptoms to appear with the latest 2c strain of this virus, is absolutely disgusting and unlike anything else you may have experienced before.

As an example, one of our customers, in the Pacific Northwest, noticed that their dog was sick with Parvo on a Sunday morning, and later that very same day, in the late afternoon, it had already died.

Although not every dog dies this quickly, it can happen, but the point is, too many dog owners sit around for days on end, with their dog clearly not well, and doing absolutely nothing about it, because they think they have time.

But they don’t!

You know what dogs are like – most of them, if not all, absolutely love their food, so if your dog stopped eating, for as little as one day, wouldn’t you be concerned that something could be seriously wrong?

Even if one of our dogs throws up, if they’re healthy (and ours are), then they are ready to eat again just minutes later, so a dog that’s off his food for even a few hours (which is often the very first sign you’ll see that your dog has Parvo, assuming that you’re observant, of course) should be a massive, red warning sign.

The sad thing is, there is so much misinformation about Parvo that a lot of dog owners are lulled into a false sense of security.

People feel safe because:

• Their dog has had all of its vaccinations (including boosters). Here’s the reality: Parvo vaccinations are not effective against the 2c strain (which is why we are seeing more and more customers with fully-vaccinated adult dogs still getting Parvo and, if they’re not treated, dying), and can even give your dog full-blown Parvo symptoms (especially if your dog was vaccinated after he’s been infected, which is just about the worst possible thing you can ever do).
• Their dog is no longer a puppy, and only puppies get Parvo. Oops, wrong again! It is true that Parvo still infects puppies more than adults, but we have also observed, after dealing with over 850 cases of Parvo, that an increasing number of adult dogs are getting this virus too. We’re sort of tired of saying this, but it bears repeating until people get it: vaccinations do not work like they used to – the latest 2c strain of Parvo is just too strong and the vaccine manufacturers really haven’t caught up with it yet (and that’s not to mention the long-term issues with all vaccinations, which most vets keep quiet about).
• They take their dog to the vet’s to have it tested, and the test comes back negative, so they do nothing. Reality check time again: the 2c strain of Parvo often generates a false-negative result, especially with the stool sample-based tests that most vets conduct in their clinics nowadays. This is another example of how the medical profession has not caught up with the development of the Parvovirus – you think your dog is OK, when in fact he does have Parvo, and that leads to your doing nothing while the virus quietly launches its attack on your dog’s body (mainly the immune system and his intestinal tract) for several days until, suddenly, you see symptoms.
• Their dog never goes outside, so it can’t get Parvo. Sorry to burst this balloon as well, but one of the most common reasons why indoor dogs get Parvo is because it is their owners (or breeders) who give it to them! Yes, people walk this virus into their house without realizing it (or take it in on their clothes or hands). That’s why we always recommend that people (including visitors) change their shoes whenever they go indoors.

So, with so many myths floating around, not to mention bad advice, where can you go to get accurate and up-to-date information that you can use, knowing that, rather than harming your dog and making matters worse, it will actually increase his chances of surviving this most devastating of viruses?

This actually highlights another major issue to do with Parvo: many dog owners have never heard of Parvo (until their vet tells them that’s why their dog is sick), which means they don’t know what to look out for. Even more amazing, to us, is that we come across many breeders who know nothing about this virus either. For people in the doggie business, this is basic knowledge that you simply should have!

Well, you’ll be glad to know that we have written a free, 100+ page ebook all about Parvo, called Parvo Treatment 101, that you can download to your computer in minutes.

This book contains more or less everything you need to know about Parvo (e.g. the symptoms, including the different types of stool to look out for, treatment options), which makes it a great place to start.

If your dog is already sick, however, and by that, we mean that a vet has confirmed that your dog does have Parvo, or he shows one or more of the standard Parvo symptoms, or even if you believe or know that he was exposed to the virus within the last two or three days, then you should delay reading this book, because you need to administer Parvo treatment as soon as possible, because the one thing you don’t have with this virus is time. You can always read our free book later, once your dog is stabilized, or better.

We hope that you found this article both interesting and useful, and if it helps you save your dog’s life, even better. However, we do have a load more information about Parvo treatment for you, which is in addition to what’s in our free book.

We’d like to close by encouraging all dog owners to at least be educated about just how devastating this virus can be, and about the various treatment options (you don’t have to take your dog to the vet’s and part with anywhere from $500 USD to over $10,000 USD, for a success rate that offers no better odds than tossing a coin, because safe, effective, inexpensive home Parvo remedies do exist), so please, if you know anybody with a dog, then do forward this article, and/or our free book, on to them – you just never know when they might might need it, and there’s no better feeling than knowing that you’ve helped to save somebody’s family pet from the excruciatingly painful death that the Canine Parvovirus often brings.
