What to Consider When Choosing Simparica

When selecting Simparica for your dog, it's crucial to choose the correct dosage based on their body weight. Simparica chews are available in various strengths to accurately treat puppies and adult dogs of different sizes, ensuring optimal efficacy and safety. Always consult the product packaging or your veterinarian to confirm the appropriate chew for your specific dog's needs.

Benefits of Simparica Flea and Tick Chews

Simparica chews deliver powerful, broad-spectrum protection against a range of external parasites. The active ingredient, sarolaner, starts killing fleas within hours and continues to protect for up to 35 days, breaking the flea life cycle and preventing infestations. Beyond fleas, it effectively targets and eliminates common ticks, including paralysis ticks, brown dog ticks, and bush ticks, as well as ear mites, sarcoptic mites, and demodex mites. This comprehensive approach ensures your dog receives thorough monthly parasite control.

Administering Simparica for Optimal Protection

Administering Simparica is straightforward thanks to its highly palatable chewable format, which most dogs readily accept. For continuous protection, it's vital to give Simparica monthly, all year round. This consistent treatment schedule is key to preventing re-infestations and maintaining an effective barrier against parasites, particularly important in New Zealand's varied climate. Ensure your dog consumes the entire chew for full efficacy.
