Our take on the Simparica Trio Chewables For Puppies 2.8-5.5lbs (1.25-2.5Kg)

Simparica Trio is a monthly oral chew for puppies that combines three drugs: sarolaner for fleas and ticks, moxidectin for heartworm and hookworm, and pyrantel for roundworms and hookworms. It is one of the few single chews that covers heartworm, fleas, ticks and intestinal worms together, which saves owners from stacking separate products. It suits puppies from 8 weeks old weighing 2.8–5.5 lbs, and the liver-flavored chew is easier to give than a topical. Compared with flea-only chews or separate heartworm preventives, it covers more parasites per dose, though it is not a dewormer for tapeworm and does not repel ticks.
