How to Give Simparica
- Weigh your dog and confirm they fall within the 2.6 to 5kg range before administering the Purple pack.
- Give one chew monthly with or without food - most dogs take it straight from the hand like a treat.
- For fussier dogs, pop the chew inside a small amount of food or place it directly into their mouth.
- Repeat every month year-round for continuous protection - there is no need to wait for tick season.
- Missed a dose? Give it as soon as you remember and continue the regular monthly schedule from that point.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly does Simparica start working? +
Simparica gets to work fast. Once your dog eats the chew, the active ingredient sarolaner enters the bloodstream within 30 minutes. It starts killing fleas within 4 hours and ticks within 8 hours of dosing - so you can feel confident that protection kicks in quickly after each monthly dose.
Is the Purple pack right for my dog? +
The Purple pack is designed for extra small dogs weighing between 2.6 and 5.0kg. Always weigh your dog before purchasing - especially with puppies who are still growing - to make sure you are giving the correct dose. If your dog is right on the boundary between two weight ranges, consult your veterinarian for guidance.
Does Simparica need to be given with food? +
No - Simparica can be given with or without food. Most dogs accept the liver-flavoured chew readily as a treat. For dogs that are a little fussier, you can offer it alongside a favourite food or place it directly into their mouth.
Does Simparica protect against paralysis ticks? +
Yes. Simparica provides treatment and control of all three key Australian ticks - paralysis tick (Ixodes holocyclus), brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) and bush tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis). It starts killing ticks within 8 hours of dosing and provides continuous protection for up to 35 days.
What if I miss a dose? +
If you miss a dose, give Simparica as soon as you remember and then continue your regular monthly schedule from that point. For uninterrupted protection - especially during tick season - year-round monthly dosing is recommended. You can set up a free reminder at zoetis.com.au/pet-reminders.
Can Simparica be used with other medications? +
Simparica is generally well tolerated alongside other medications. If your dog is currently on any other treatments, supplements or medications, it is always worth checking with your veterinarian before starting Simparica.
Are there any side effects? +
Simparica has a strong safety record and is recommended by veterinarians across Australia. Side effects are uncommon, but as with any medication the most commonly reported include vomiting, diarrhoea and lethargy. In very rare cases, seizures have been observed. If you notice anything unusual after giving Simparica, contact your veterinarian. You can also reach the Zoetis Veterinary Medical Information and Product Support Team on 1800 814 883.
How do I know if my dog has fleas? +
Common signs of a flea infestation include scratching, biting or licking at the skin, hair loss and small dark specks in the coat often called flea dirt. Some dogs also develop red, irritated skin or signs of flea allergy dermatitis. Simparica starts killing fleas within 4 hours and monthly dosing breaks the flea lifecycle by killing fleas before they can lay eggs - preventing reinfestation.
Please note: Always read the label and follow directions for use. Suitable for dogs and puppies from 8 weeks of age weighing at least 1.3kg. Not suitable for cats or other animals. Not evaluated for use in pregnant, lactating or breeding dogs - consult your veterinarian if applicable. Store below 30°C away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and animals. Keep in original packaging until use. For further information contact the Zoetis Veterinary Medical Information and Product Support Team on 1800 814 883 or email productsupport.au@zoetis.com.
