What This Medication Is Used For
Simparica Trio is a veterinarian-prescribed flavoured chewable tablet for dogs that helps protect against a range of internal and external parasites. It combines three active ingredients to support parasite control with one monthly dose.
Parasites it helps protect against
Fleas and ticks
Heartworm disease (prevention)
Intestinal roundworms and hookworms
Typical signs leading to treatment
Persistent itchiness or skin irritation from flea exposure
Ticks found on the coat or areas where your dog plays outdoors
Seasonal or year-round parasite risk based on where you live and your dog’s activities
When veterinarians prescribe it
To provide broad parasite protection using a single monthly chew
When a dog’s lifestyle or travel exposes them to both external and internal parasites
To support consistent, veterinarian-guided prevention planning
How It Works
Simparica Trio combines three active agents that target different parasite life stages and types. One component focuses on killing fleas and ticks. Another prevents the development of heartworm infection. A third treats and helps control intestinal roundworms and hookworms.
This product works from within your dog’s system and does not directly treat parasites in the environment. If your dog has an existing infestation, your veterinarian may also suggest environmental control measures.
Differences from single-purpose products
Some parasite preventatives address only one category of pests. Simparica Trio’s formulation offers a more comprehensive option when your veterinarian determines it is appropriate.
Use in ongoing prevention
Parasite exposure can shift with travel, season, and testing results. Veterinarians can tailor dosing schedules and product choices as your dog’s needs evolve, helping ensure consistent protection.
Dosage and Strength Information
Your veterinarian will decide the proper dosage and timing. Do not adjust the dose or schedule without veterinary guidance.
About this strength
The 5.1–10 kg (caramel) strength of Simparica Trio is designed for dogs in this weight range to provide the correct balance of active ingredients in a convenient once-monthly chew.
