Simparica Trio is a tasty, chewable monthly treat that dogs love to eat, with or without food. It kills fleas fast and lasts for the full month, eliminating fleas before they can lay eggs. Effective flea killing action is also an essential component of flea tapeworm control. Simparica Trio has persistent tick killing activity for 35 days and a single dose treats and controls hookworms and roundworms – including larval stages. Being a tasty chew, dogs can go swimming or be bathed before and after administration. Simparica Trio is the flea tick and worm treatment that goes down a treat.

Fleas can cause itching and skin irritation, which can be frustrating and uncomfortable for your dog. They can also carry tapeworm and bacteria that can infect other pets, and in rare cases even your human family. If your dog has a flea allergy, it can cause even more intense itching that can lead to hair loss and skin infections due to scratching. It takes just one pregnant female flea to start an infestation. She begins laying eggs in only 24 hours, which then drop off into your carpet or your furniture. Simparica Trio kills fleas fast and its sustained activity over the full month also breaks the flea life cycle.
Ticks are small parasitic pests that feed on the blood of animals. The Cattle Tick is the main tick species of concern in New Zealand and is mostly active in the warmer months. However, they can be found any time of year. They are mainly found outdoors in long grass, dense shrubs, near the beach, in pasture and on farms. Simparica Trio treats and controls the Cattle Tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis). It rapidly kills pre-existing tick infections within 48 hours of treatment. It has persistent tick killing activity for 35 days.
Roundworms are zoonotic parasites, meaning they can be passed of from animals to humans - especially children. They are also exceptionally good survivors, able to live outside the animal fo rseveral years. Roundworm symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, 'pot belly', and colic. Simparica Trio treats and controls roundworm internal parasites, including L5 immature larval stage
Hookworms feed by burrowing into a pets intestinal wall and sucking blood. Like roundworms, hookworms are zoonotic parasites and can infect humans. Your dog could experience enteritis, diarrhoea, dehydration, and even death from anemia if puppies are infected. Simparica Trio treats and controls hookworm internal parasites, including L4 and L5 immature larval stage.
