Simparica Trio 5-10 kg – Antiparasitic for dogs | Fleas, ticks, roundworms and heartworm | Box of 3 chewable tablets

Simparica Trio 5-10 kg is a triple oral antiparasitic for small dogs weighing 5 to 10 kg. Each chewable, liver-flavored tablet combines sarolaner, moxidectin, and pyrantel embonate to act against external and internal parasites with a single monthly dose. The box contains 3 tablets.

What is it for

The manufacturer indicates it is for use in dogs to treat infestations of fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) and ticks (Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus), and gastrointestinal nematodes such as Toxocara canis and Ancylostoma caninum. It is also used to prevent heartworm disease (Dirofilaria immitis) and angiostrongyliasis (Angiostrongylus vasorum). Each dose provides protection for 30 consecutive days.

How it is used

For oral administration, one tablet per month, directly into the mouth or mixed with food. It should not be broken or crushed, and it's important to ensure the dog swallows it completely. For heartworm prevention, the manufacturer indicates that treatment should begin before mosquito season and continue after it ends; in endemic areas, the veterinarian will require a prior test.

FAQ

When is Simparica Trio a better option than Simparica 20 mg?

Both cover dogs weighing 5 to 10 kg, but Trio adds moxidectin and pyrantel, which protect against roundworms and heartworm. Your veterinarian will choose based on the risk factors in your area and your dog's lifestyle.

Can I mix it with food?

Yes, the manufacturer recommends giving it directly in the mouth or with food. The essential thing is that the entire tablet is swallowed, without being broken or crushed, and that you check that your dog eats it completely.

How long does a box last?

It's three doses per month, meaning about three months of coverage, because each tablet protects for 30 consecutive days. For heartworm prevention, treatment should continue even after mosquito season ends.

Is it compatible with vaccines or other external antiparasitic treatments?

The manufacturer states that it can be used alongside vaccines and external treatments, always after veterinary evaluation. Consult your veterinarian before combining it with other products your dog is taking, so they can assess each case individually.

What parasites does it cover?

Fleas, ticks, and gastrointestinal nematodes (Toxocara canis and Ancylostoma caninum) are treated, and heartworm and angiostrongyliasis are prevented. A single monthly dose is effective against both external and internal parasites in dogs.

From what age can it be given?

The manufacturer specifies a minimum age of 8 weeks and a weight of 1,25 kg, although this box is intended for dogs weighing between 5 and 10 kg. A smaller puppy will need a different food size, which will be determined by the veterinarian after weighing the puppy.
