Can Simparica Trio treat roundworms in my dog or do I need something else?

I've been giving my dog Simparica Trio for flea and tick prevention, but I recently remembered that roundworms could be a concern as well. I'm not sure if the medication I've been using also covers roundworm infections. Do I need a different treatment to address roundworms specifically, or is Simparica Trio enough to handle them?

Answer

Simparica Trio is an effective solution for comprehensive parasite protection in dogs as it addresses fleas, ticks, and some internal parasites, including roundworms.

  • Simparica Trio covers fleas, ticks, and roundworms.
  • Convenient monthly chewable treatment.
  • No need for a separate roundworm medication.

Simparica Trio is designed to protect your dog from multiple parasites with a single, easy-to-administer chew. It effectively covers fleas, ticks, and also offers protection against certain internal parasites such as roundworms. This means you do not need a separate treatment for roundworms, making it a convenient choice for comprehensive protection. However, always ensure your dog’s parasite protection plan is tailored to their specific needs.
