A Comprehensive Guide To Simparica Flea And Tick Medication

What Is Simparica for Dogs?

Fleas and ticks post a significant threat to your dog's health. While common, they are parasitic bugs that latch on to your dog's body and drink their blood. They can pass on many types of infections to your dog, and if the infestation is bad enough, they can even give your dog anemia. Simparica for dogs is a medication designed to prevent this.

You can use Simparica Flea and Tick Medication monthly to keep your dogs safe from these pesky parasites. This medicine protects your dog for 35 days, after which you can give your dog another dose. This is excellent for dogs who work a lot outdoors as you cannot control the outside environment.

Why Are Fleas and Ticks Bad for Dogs?

Fleas and ticks can pass on several different types of diseases. They can pass on these diseases to your pets and you and your family as well. Fleas multiply really quickly as they can say up to 50 eggs a day! Ticks can stay on your dog's body without anyone noticing for nearly a week.

Dogs can develop Flea Allergy Dermatitis, which is an allergy to the saliva of fleas. They can also transmit canine tapeworm or Dipylidium Caninim to other dogs, cats, and humans. If the flea has encountered any dangerous bacteria, it can pass that on to animals as well.

Ticks carry their own set of problems. The biggest fear with ticks is Lyme disease, which is an extremely dangerous and painful condition. They can also spread Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Colorado tick fever, Heartland virus, ehrlichiosis, and tularemia, among many others. Both people and dogs can be allergic to tick bites.

How Much of Simparica Should I Give My Dog?

Simparica Trio for dogs should be used at the dosage of 0.91.g per pound of weight or 2mg per kilo of bodyweight. Thus, a dog between 2.8 and 5.5 pounds should get one piece of 5mg Simparica chewables per month. A dog who is between 5.6 and 11 pounds gets one piece of 10mg Simparica chewables per month.

If your pet is between 11 and 22 pounds, you should give them one tablet of 20mg Simparica chewables. A dog who weighs between 22 and 44 pounds should get one piece of 40mg Simparica chewables per month. A dog who weighs between 44 and 88 pounds per month needs an 80mg dose of Simparica for dogs.

Finally, a dog who is between 88-132 pounds needs a 120mg dose of this medication. Ensure you weigh your dog at your vet before giving him any medication whose dosage depends on weight. You can weigh your dog at home, but the vet's office will be more accurate.

What Are the Side Effects of Simparica?

When you give your dog Simparica Flea and Tick Medication, they might get mild side effects like vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, or low energy levels. These side effects are usually mild and pass once your dog's body adjusts to this medicine.

However, if the vomiting or diarrhea doesn't stop, then you should contact your vet. Additionally, you should also contact your vet if your dog has a seizure after taking this medicine or if you see tremors in their body. Other signs you should contact your vet are if your dog has trouble walking or is stumbling around.

Is Simparica Better Than Frontline?
Answer

Both Simparica for dogs and Frontline are used as flea medicines for dogs, and they are both effective in flea and tick treatment. However, Simparica is not the better flea medicine for dogs when compared to Frontline flea treatment. Simparica kills ticks and fleas, and it is not safe to use this flea and tick medicine on pregnant, lactating, or breeding dogs. On the other hand, not only does Frontline kill fleas and ticks, but it also destroys their eggs and larvae. Hence, Frontline is arguably the best flea treatment for dogs. That being said, Simparica is one of the best dog flea treatments available right now. It can successfully eliminate all adult fleas on dogs. However, it cannot match the standards of Frontline.

Is Simparica Safe?
Answer

Yes, Simparica is a safe and effective treatment for fleas as well as ticks in dogs. The drug is approved by the FDA and has been given clearance for prescribed usage. That means you will need a vet’s authorization or prescription for buying this medicine. You also need to maintain certain precautions from your end to ensure the safety of your dog while starting or continuing the Simparica dosage. Do not give this flea treatment drug to dogs that are under six months of age. You must also avoid, or stop giving Simparica to your dogs if they are lactating, breeding, or pregnant. The drug might interfere with these biological processes, which is why it is best to maintain caution. Ask your vet if you can use Frontline flea treatment on your pregnant dog if you must use a flea and tick medication.

Can My Dog Still Get Fleas With Simparica?
Answer

Yes, your dog can still get fleas with Simparica. There are mainly two reasons for this. Firstly, it is possible that the fleas came back after the medication wore out. In that case, there is a chance that your house has a flea infestation somewhere, or perhaps your dog was in a flea-infested place. Secondly, since Simparica does not destroy larvae or eggs of fleas and ticks, it is likely that the fleas came from there. This has a higher chance of happening if your dog seldom leaves the house and still has fleas despite the Simparica treatment.

Does Simparica Make Dogs Sick?
Answer

Simparica might make your dogs sick, but it is not a common occurrence. The medication can lead to tremors or seizures. This is common in dogs that have a history of neurological disorders, however, it can also happen to those without such history. The drug can also make a dog sick if it is pregnant or breeding. Some of the most adverse side effects of Simparica include vomiting and diarrhea. You should take your dog to the vet if you notice these symptoms. Continuous shaking for a long period also requires urgent medical attention.

Should I Give My Dog Simparica Trio?
Answer

You can give your dog Simparica Trio if you need to treat it for both fleas and ticks, as well as worms. However, you will still need a vet’s prescription to be able to use this drug. Simparica Trio cannot be used on dogs that are less than 8 weeks of age.

What Does Simparica Trio Not Cover?
Answer

Simparica Trio does not cover anything except ticks, fleas, and worms. It is very effective against these three parasites in dogs and can guarantee proper treatment for them.

Does Simparica Deworm?
Answer

Yes, Simparica Trio can deworm. It can work effectively against heartworm and lungworm in dogs. Besides, the medicine can take care of fleas and ticks just as well.

Sarolaner
