What This Medication Is Used For
Simparica 80 mg chewable tablets are a monthly, prescription-only product vets use to help protect dogs against fleas and ticks. This strength is intended for dogs weighing from 20.1 kg up to 40 kg. One chew per month helps reduce the risk of common external parasites when used as your veterinarian directs.
Parasites it helps prevent
Flea infestations
Select tick species
Signs you might see before treatment
Ongoing scratching linked to fleas
Ticks found after outdoor exposure
Greater parasite risk due to travel, region, or environment
Why a veterinarian may prescribe it
To provide monthly parasite protection
To reduce parasite risks with a single monthly chew
To match parasite prevention with your dog’s lifestyle and exposure
How It Works
After your dog eats this chewable, the active ingredient is absorbed into the bloodstream. It works from the inside to stop fleas and ticks once they bite your dog.
The tablet begins acting soon after ingestion.
It interferes with parasites after they attach.
It does not treat fleas or ticks in your dog’s environment.
If there is an active flea issue in your home or yard, your veterinarian may recommend environmental control along with this medication.
How it compares with other products
Some products cover fleas only or ticks only. Simparica 80 mg helps protect against both with one monthly chew when your vet determines it is appropriate.
Use in ongoing parasite plans
Parasite exposure can change with season, travel, and local factors. Your vet can adjust your dog’s parasite prevention plan over time to keep protection aligned with risk.
Dosage and Strength Information
Your veterinarian determines the correct dose and schedule based on your dog’s weight and health profile. Do not change the dose or timing without vet approval.
About this strength
The 80 mg chewable is made for dogs weighing 20.1 kg up to 40 kg. The amount of active ingredient in this tablet is calibrated to help provide effective flea and tick control for dogs in this weight range.
