How to Give Simparica TRIO
- Weigh your dog and confirm they fall within the 20.1 to 40kg range before administering the Green pack.
- Give one chew monthly with or without food - most large 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 or worm season.
- Missed a dose? Give it as soon as you remember and continue the regular monthly schedule from that point.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Simparica TRIO and regular Simparica? +
Regular Simparica protects against fleas, ticks and mites. Simparica TRIO does all of that and adds heartworm prevention, roundworm control and hookworm control in the same single monthly chew. TRIO contains three active ingredients - sarolaner, moxidectin and pyrantel - making it a complete all-in-one parasite protection solution. For large active dogs that are regularly exposed to the outdoors, TRIO provides the most comprehensive coverage available in a single chew.
Is the Green pack right for my large dog? +
The Green pack is designed for large dogs weighing between 20.1 and 40kg - a range that covers many of Australia's most popular large breeds including Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Border Collies, Boxers, Weimaraners and Standard Poodles. Always weigh your dog before purchasing, particularly with growing dogs. If your dog sits right on the 40kg boundary, speak with your veterinarian about whether to continue with the Green pack or move to the Red (Extra Large) pack.
How does Simparica TRIO prevent heartworm? +
Simparica TRIO takes a unique triple approach to heartworm that no other product matches. The moxidectin component prevents new heartworm infections from taking hold, kills juvenile heartworm larvae already circulating in the bloodstream and the sarolaner component eliminates the Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that transmit heartworm in the first place. Together this triple action provides 100% effective heartworm prevention when given monthly year-round. Heartworm is transmitted by mosquitoes and is present year-round across most of Australia - making monthly prevention essential for all large breed dogs.
Can Simparica TRIO be given to heartworm-positive dogs? +
Yes, Simparica TRIO is safe for use in heartworm-positive dogs. For large dogs switching from another heartworm prevention product, TRIO can be started within one month of the last dose. If you know or suspect your dog has an existing heartworm infection, it is recommended to consult your veterinarian before starting TRIO so they can advise on the most appropriate approach for your dog's situation.
Is Simparica TRIO safe for Collies and sensitive breeds? +
Yes. Simparica TRIO has a well-established safety profile and is well tolerated in avermectin-sensitive breeds including Collies. This is an important distinction as some large breed parasite prevention products are not suitable for Collies and related breeds due to a genetic mutation affecting drug sensitivity. If your dog has known sensitivities or underlying health conditions, it is always worth confirming with your veterinarian before starting any new medication.
Does Simparica TRIO protect against paralysis ticks? +
Yes. Simparica TRIO provides treatment and control of all three key Australian ticks - paralysis tick (Ixodes holocyclus), brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) and bush tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis). Large dogs who regularly explore bushland, national parks or coastal areas are particularly exposed to paralysis tick risk. TRIO starts killing ticks within 8 hours of dosing and monthly administration provides continuous uninterrupted protection throughout the year.
Can Simparica TRIO be given with other medications? +
Simparica TRIO is generally well tolerated alongside other medications. Large breeds are often prescribed joint supplements, anti-inflammatory medications or other ongoing treatments. If your dog is currently receiving any other treatments or supplements, it is worth checking with your veterinarian before starting TRIO to make sure there are no concerns specific to your dog's health history or current medication regime.
What if I miss a dose? +
Give Simparica TRIO as soon as you remember and then continue the regular monthly schedule from that point. Each dose provides up to 35 days of protection so there is a small buffer built in, but for heartworm prevention in particular consistent year-round monthly dosing without gaps is strongly recommended. A free monthly reminder is available at zoetis.com.au/pet-reminders to help you stay on track.
Are there any side effects? +
Simparica TRIO has a strong safety record and is recommended by veterinarians across Australia. Side effects are uncommon but the most frequently reported include vomiting, diarrhoea and lethargy. Less commonly, reduced appetite, increased thirst and restlessness have been observed. In very rare cases, seizures have been reported. If you notice anything unusual after giving your large dog Simparica TRIO, contact your veterinarian promptly or call the Zoetis support line on 1800 814 883.
