- What does Simparica Trio protect against?
- It kills fleas and six tick species, prevents heartworm disease, and treats and controls roundworms and hookworms. It also prevents tapeworms by killing the fleas that carry them.
- How often is it given?
- One chew once a month. Give it year-round for heartworm prevention, and keep the same day each month so protection does not lapse.
- Can puppies take it?
- Yes, for puppies at least eight weeks old and within the tablet's weight band. Dogs should be tested for heartworm before starting.
- How does it compare with separate flea, tick and heartworm products?
- It folds three jobs into one chew, so there is less to buy and remember. Separate products can cost less and let you tailor each type of protection, but you give more doses.
