Simparica Flea & Tick Treatment for Dogs

Simparica Chewables for Dogs is a fast-acting, monthly oral flea and tick treatment designed to provide reliable protection for your dog. This great-tasting chew starts working quickly and delivers up to 35 days of protection, giving pet parents added flexibility if a dose is slightly delayed.

Formulated with sarolaner, Simparica treats and prevents flea infestations while controlling multiple tick species. It is also the first flea and tick product for dogs that kills six types of ticks, including Gulf Coast ticks and Asian longhorned ticks. Suitable for dogs 6 months of age and older weighing at least 2.8 lbs, it offers consistent and convenient parasite protection.

Why It Stands Out

Starts killing fleas within 3 hours and ticks within 8 hours
Provides up to 35 days of protection
Kills six types of ticks, including deer ticks
Helps reduce the risk of tick-borne infections
Monthly chewable format for easy administration
Highly palatable for better acceptance
Helps stop fleas before they can lay eggs

What It Covers

Simparica helps protect your dog against:

Fleas – kills fleas and helps prevent infestations for one month
Ticks – controls multiple species including:

Lone star tick
American dog tick
Black-legged (deer) tick
Brown dog tick
Gulf Coast tick
Asian longhorned tick

By targeting black-legged ticks, it also helps reduce the risk of infections that may lead to Lyme disease.

How the Formula Works

Simparica contains sarolaner, which is absorbed into your dog’s bloodstream after administration. When fleas and ticks attach and feed, the ingredient targets their nervous system, leading to their elimination.

This systemic action provides fast, full-body protection, helping control parasites quickly and maintain consistent coverage for up to 35 days.

How to Use

Administer one chew orally once a month
Can be given with or without food
Ensure your dog consumes the full chew
Repeat monthly for continuous protection
