Canine parvovirus causes severe intestinal disorders in puppies (hemorrhagic gastroenteritis).

The risk of contamination by canine parvovirus is highest between 6 and 16 weeks of age, when maternal serum antibody levels fall (2). The risk of mortality is then very high (up to 50%).

Because the virus is highly resistant in the environment, the disease can persist in an endemic kennel. In the community, early diagnosis of the disease is essential.

Speed Parvo enables the detection of viral antigens. This makes it possible to detect the virus in feces as soon as the first symptoms appear.

In multi-dogs environments, Speed Parvo enables rapid implementation of sanitary and prophylactic measures to limit the spread of the disease.

Parvovirus is a redhibitory defect.

Speed Parvo ensures rapid and early identification of the disease, from the end of the incubation period (3 to 4 days).

1. Place the fecal or rectal swab into the reagent tube. Shake the tube.

2. Add slowly 5 drops of the mixture into the sample well.

3. Read the result at 10 minutes.
