- Is Simparica Chewables worth it over a topical?
- If your dog swims, gets bathed often, or hates drops, the oral chew avoids residue and application hassle. It also starts killing fleas faster than most topicals. The trade-off is a prescription and no heartworm coverage.
- What weight and strength does my dog need?
- Dose by body weight using the 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 or 120 mg tablet, at a minimum of 0.91 mg/lb. Your vet matches the strength to your dog's weight band, so recheck if your dog grows or loses weight.
- How often do I give it, and when does it start working?
- Give one chewable once a month, with or without food. Fleas start dying within 8 hours of attachment, and protection lasts about a month for both fleas and ticks.
- Can puppies and small dogs take it?
- Only dogs over 6 months of age. The smallest 5 mg tablet suits dogs in the lowest weight band, so ask your vet for the right strength for a small dog.
- Does Simparica cover heartworm or worms?
- No. Sarolaner treats fleas and ticks only, so you need a separate heartworm preventive and dewormer if your dog needs them.
- When is the best price on Simparica?
- Prices vary by store and strength, and the 6-month and 12-month packs usually cost less per dose than single tablets. Compare per-tablet prices across stores before buying.
