In dogs, one of the most vaccinated viruses is the parvo virus. The virus is highly contagious, and it causes illnesses like diarrhea, vomiting and in severe cases, it can cause death. The mortality rate of this disease is extremely high, and the cost of treating a dog with this disease is also high. In certain instances, it has been found that the cost of treating a dog with the disease is approximately one thousand dollars, and yet the treatment is often not effective, since most dogs end up dying.
