Simparica Trio is a monthly chewable for dogs that protects against heartworms, ticks, fleas and intestinal worms in one dose. It is FDA-approved to kill six types of tick, including the deer tick that may carry Lyme disease. In the studies supporting FDA approval, one dose provided 100% protection against heartworm disease.
It kills fleas before they lay eggs, which prevents flea infestations. It treats and controls roundworms and hookworms, and it prevents tapeworms by killing fleas.
The chew is pork-liver flavored. In a study, 91.9% of dogs voluntarily consumed it. It is dosed by weight and is safe for puppies as young as 8 weeks that weigh at least 2.8 lbs.
