Why should I recommend Simparica Trio or Simparica?

• Simparica and Simparica Trio are both highly palatable chews that protect against ticks and fleas in dogs, but Simparica Trio also has the added benefit of moxidectin and pyrantel to protect dogs against heartworms disease, roundworms, and hookworms.

• Sarolaner is an acaricide and insecticide belonging to the isoxazoline group. Sarolaner inhibits the function of the neurotransmitter gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor and glutamate receptor and works at the neuromuscular junction in insects. This results in uncontrolled neuromuscular activity leading to death in insects or acarines.
• Moxidectin is an endectocide in the macrocyclic lactone class. Moxidectin acts by interfering with the chloride channel-mediated neurotransmission in the parasite. This results in paralysis and death of the parasite.
• Pyrantel pamoate is a nematocide belonging to the tetrahydropyrimidine class. Pyrantel acts as a depolarizing, neuromuscular-blocking agent in susceptible parasites, which causes paralysis and death or expulsion of the organism.

• Simparica Trio has been demonstrated safe for puppies as young as 8 weeks, and weighing as little as 2.8 lbs.

• The first signs of heartworm disease may be mild and hard to notice. As time progresses, you might see something known as heartworm cough, a decreased appetite, or a reluctance to exercise. More advanced stages of heartworm disease result in symptoms including trouble breathing, pale gums or dark urine—a result of blocked blood flow.

• Thankfully, heartworm disease can be treated, but the process can be pricey, lengthy and hard on your dog’s health. While heartworms can be removed, the damage to your dog’s heart and lungs may remain. Heartworm disease preventatives for dogs protect your dog from the effects of heartworm disease and prevent this trauma.

• Simparica Trio works fast to get rid of ticks and fleas on dogs. It starts to kill deer ticks within 8 hours, and fleas within 4 hours.

• Dogs become infected with hookworms from contact with contaminated feces, contaminated environments, from mother to pup, as well as eating wild animals. Hookworms in dog feces can lead to contaminated outdoor areas, which is how people can get hookworm infection.

• Both hookworms and roundworms can cause malnutrition in dogs, shown by anemia, weakness, weight loss or stunted growth.
• Roundworms can also cause vomiting, diarrhea or a pot-bellied appearance.
• Hookworms can cause pale gums and itchy paws. Hookworms can be deadly if left untreated, especially in young puppies or adult dogs with a weakened immune system.
