Simparica Trio chewable tablets for dogs – broad parasite protection in one monthly tablet

Simparica Trio chewable tablets for dogs are designed to make parasite protection simpler by combining several active ingredients in a single tablet. Dogs are commonly exposed to parasites such as fleas, ticks and intestinal worms, and in some areas heartworm is also a concern. These parasites can cause irritation, illness and, in some cases, serious disease.

Simparica Trio chewable tablets for dogs work against:

• Fleas – killing adult fleas quickly and helping to control flea infestations

• Ticks – treating and controlling several common tick species that can transmit disease

• Heartworm – preventing heartworm disease by targeting the larval stages transmitted by mosquitoes (important if your dog travels to heartworm risk areas)

• Intestinal worms – treating and helping to control roundworms and hookworms in dogs

Because these parasites have different life cycles, using a product that targets several types at once can help keep your dog covered with one easy monthly routine, as advised by your vet.

How Simparica Trio chewable tablets for dogs work

Simparica Trio chewable tablets for dogs contain three active ingredients:

• Sarolaner – an isoxazoline that kills fleas and ticks by acting on their nervous system

• Moxidectin – a macrocyclic lactone that helps prevent heartworm disease and treats certain intestinal worms

• Pyrantel – a broad-spectrum anthelmintic that targets roundworms and hookworms in the gut

Together, these ingredients provide a wide range of parasite control when given every month at the correct dose for your dog’s weight.

Which dogs Simparica Trio is for

Simparica Trio chewable tablets for dogs are suitable for:

• Dogs prescribed the product by a vet for routine parasite control

• Dogs that need protection against both external parasites (fleas and ticks) and internal parasites (worms and heartworm)

• Dogs travelling to regions where heartworm is present, when your vet recommends heartworm prevention

Your vet will confirm the minimum age and weight for use and will decide if Simparica Trio chewable tablets for dogs are suitable for your individual dog, taking into account any other health conditions and medicines.

How to give Simparica Trio chewable tablets for dogs

Always follow the exact instructions on your prescription and the package leaflet. In general:

• Simparica Trio chewable tablets for dogs are given by mouth once a month

• The tablets are flavoured and can usually be offered by hand as a treat or mixed with a small amount of food

• They are typically given with or shortly after food to help absorption

• Each dog should receive the tablet strength that matches their bodyweight range

• Treatment is repeated every month for as long as your vet advises (for example, year-round or during higher-risk seasons)

If you miss a dose or are unsure whether your dog has swallowed the tablet, contact your vet for advice before giving another dose. Do not give extra tablets without veterinary guidance.

Ongoing monitoring and parasite control plan

Simparica Trio chewable tablets for dogs are usually part of a wider parasite control strategy. Your vet may also recommend:

• Regular checks for fleas and ticks, especially after walks in high-risk areas

• Appropriate environmental flea control if there is an existing infestation in the home

• Periodic faecal worm checks, depending on your dog’s lifestyle

• Additional tick prevention steps in regions where tick-borne diseases are common

Your dog should have regular health checks to make sure the current parasite programme remains suitable as they age or if their lifestyle changes.
