Simparica Trio is a monthly chewable medication for dogs that provides triple protection against heartworm disease, ticks, fleas, and gastrointestinal worms (roundworms and hookworms). It combines three active ingredients: sarolaner, moxidectin, and pyrantel, which together effectively prevent and treat these parasitic infections. Simparica Trio starts killing fleas within 4 hours and provides protection for 35 days. It is safe for puppies as young as 8 weeks old and as light as 2.8 lbs. Key features of Simparica Trio include:
- Prevention of heartworm disease caused by Dirofilaria immitis.
- Treatment and control of fleas, ticks (including paralysis ticks, brown dog ticks, Gulf Coast ticks, and others), roundworms, hookworms, mange mites, and ear mites.
- Fast and sustained efficacy against fleas and ticks.
- Helps prevent flea tapeworm by killing fleas.
- Available in different dosage sizes based on dog weight.
- Tasty liver-flavored chew that dogs are likely to accept.
It is important to consult a veterinarian for the correct dosage and to discuss switching to Simparica Trio from other medications. Some safety considerations include caution in dogs with a history of seizures and unknown safety in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs. Simparica Trio is the first and only product to combine these three active ingredients in one chewable for comprehensive parasite protection in dogs.
