I MIGHT give it to pups as the claim is that Corona can set them up for the more serious disease of Parvo but even this is a stretch. According to the veterinary medicine reps, Corona affects the lining of the stomach and the intestines allowing a compromised digestive track and settong up a situation for Parvo to get a foothold. I've not seen any research that supports this assertion, however. I don't give it, never have, but if there is newer reserch that supports it, I would consider it for a puppy.
