The dusty powders with\ndistinct smell had really limited affects on insects. Then there were sprays\nand flea shampoos with no real impact on pests. The advent of topical dog\nparasitic treatments was a major breakthrough. Over a period of time, people\naround the world were registering noticeable dissatisfaction towards these\ndrugs as some of them caused skin irritation; glossy fur and skin rashes due to\npersistent itching. This is why there was a need felt among pharmaceutical\ncompanies to introduce oral treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The veterinary medicine has grown many folds during the last few years. The latest addition to this set of treatments is combination drugs that serve as multi-purpose treatment in one dose. Whilst this developed set of combination treatments have made our lives fairly easy, it is vital to sense the understanding whether or not we are putting our animal companion at risk when using these high-end drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>BENEFITS OF ALL-IN-ONE (Flea, tick and worm) TREATMENTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>One\ntreatment for multiple parasites<\/li><li>Easy\nto administer<\/li><li>Treats\nexisting infections and prevents future infestations.<\/li><li>Prevents\nthe need for administering different medications for fleas, ticks or worms<\/li><li>Saves\ntime <\/li><li>Cost-effective<\/li><li>Easy\nto manage parasite protection in your dog<\/li><li>Reduces\nsuffering in dogs from the administration of different treatments<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an overview of the\npotency of a few leading chewable combinations of dog therapies with their\nsafety evaluation that can help you choose the best all-in-one (flea, tick,\nheartworm and intestinal worm) treatment for your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Choosing the All-in-One Heartworm and Flea Treatment for Dogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\nHere is a quick overview of the potency of a few leading chewable combination dog therapies with their safety evaluation:\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:21px\"><strong>Simparica Trio &#8211; A Perfect Combination of Fleas, Ticks &amp; Worms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A single dose of  Simparica Trio has shown over 90% efficacy within 48 hours of initial  dose.
