- Consider setting a monthly reminder to administer Simparica Trio.
- Review the last dose date and adjust your schedule to maintain monthly intervals.
- Consult with your vet if you missed a dose by a significant margin.

If you’re unsure about how to get back on track with your dog’s prevention plan, consider speaking with a veterinarian for personalized guidance.
For any further questions or to ensure your pet’s prevention care is on track, please book a consultation with Dial A Vet for expert advice.
