How Does Simparica Work?
Simparica is a great tasting chewable tablet given orally once a month. It travels in your dog's blood to safely deliver persistent continuous protection against fleas and ticks from day 1 to day 35.
Why protect against fleas and ticks?
Tick-borne diseases represent a widespread and growing public health hazard to dogs (and their human companions), causing debilitating illness and even death. It only takes one tick to spread disease, so continuous protection is critical to help reduce the risk of infection.
Likewise, it only takes a single "pregnant" flea to start an infestation on a dog or in a home. And although fleas are largely perceived as a mere nuisance, they too, can pose health risks to pets and humans.

One thumb and one thumbless paw UP
By Rigs on Jan 10, 2021
Dog next door is an outside dog, aka “flea farm” I couldn’t get rid of fleas to save my life. My vet prescribed this, and my dog doesn’t have fleas anymore. Can’t speak for the flea farm dog next door tho.

Good Product For My Dog
By Furkidmom on Jun 30, 2020
This product seems to work well for my dog. I have been using it for about 3-4 years with no problems for my dog with respect to side effects and it has kept her flea and tick free this whole time. We live in a hot and humid climate where the winters don't get cold enough to even kill mosquitoes so I need to use this product all year round. In the past, I have used the flea and tick oils, and the seresto collars and both products did not keep my dog free of these invaders. Initially, I was worried because my dog seems to be sensitive to meds and has side effects easily. She even has side effects from the combo vaccine so I have to be careful with her.

Fleas Fleas Fleas
By Yamma on Aug 1, 2020
I used two other not so inexpensive flea control products and my babies still had fleas. I read the reviews on this product and thought what the heck, so I purchased. My babies no longer have fleas. It's on the pricey side but well worth it.

Thank you so much to the driver and Chewy! It was raining today and my package was wrapped in a plastic bag and deliver :) if it wasn’t for this plastic bag my package would have been ruined. Thank you so much for your efforts!! Also this flea prevention is the best I have tried for my small angel!
