Simparica TRIO Flea, Tick and Worm Chewable Tablets for Puppies 1.25-2.5kg 3 Pack
From the moment your puppy arrives, the world they are about to explore is full of uninvited passengers. Simparica TRIO Yellow pack is the all-in-one monthly chew formulated specifically for puppies weighing 1.25 to 2.5kg from 8 weeks of age - delivering complete vet-grade protection against fleas, paralysis ticks, deadly heartworm, roundworm, hookworm, mites and the mosquitoes that spread heartworm, all in a single liver-flavoured chew. Starting your puppy on TRIO early means you are building a solid foundation of parasite protection from the very beginning - before a flea infestation takes hold, before a tick finds its mark and before heartworm gets a foothold. Developed by Zoetis, the world's leading animal health company, and trusted by veterinarians across Australia.
Starting your puppy on parasite prevention early
Puppies are particularly vulnerable to intestinal worms including roundworm and hookworm - which can cause serious illness in young dogs and some of which are also transmissible to humans. Starting Simparica TRIO from 8 weeks of age gives your puppy immediate protection against these parasites while also establishing heartworm prevention from the outset - far easier and safer than treating an existing infection later in life.

How to Give Simparica TRIO to Your Puppy
- Weigh your puppy and confirm they fall within the 1.25 to 2.5kg range and are at least 8 weeks of age before administering the Yellow pack.
- Give one chew monthly with or without food - the liver flavour means most puppies take it readily as a treat.
- For puppies that are hesitant, break the chew into smaller pieces and offer with a little food, or place directly into their mouth.
- As your puppy grows and moves above 2.5kg, transition to the next pack size up - the Purple (Extra Small) pack for dogs 2.6 to 5kg.
- Repeat every month year-round for continuous protection - consistency is especially important for heartworm prevention.
- Missed a dose? Give it as soon as you remember and continue the regular monthly schedule from that point.

Frequently Asked Questions
How early can I start my puppy on Simparica TRIO? +
Simparica TRIO can be started from 8 weeks of age provided your puppy weighs at least 1.25kg. Starting early is strongly recommended - puppies are particularly vulnerable to intestinal worms including roundworm, which can be passed from mother to puppy before birth and through milk. Early heartworm prevention also means you never have to worry about gaps in coverage or the complexity of transitioning a dog with an unknown heartworm history onto a prevention product later in life.
When should I move my puppy to the next pack size? +
The Yellow pack is suitable for puppies weighing 1.25 to 2.5kg. When your puppy grows above 2.5kg, transition to the Purple (Extra Small) pack which covers dogs from 2.6 to 5kg. For fast-growing breeds this transition may happen within a few months of starting on the Yellow pack. Always weigh your puppy before each monthly dose to make sure you are giving the correct size - using an undersized pack for a heavier dog risks underdosing and reduced efficacy.
Why is worm prevention so important for puppies specifically? +
Puppies are born with a heightened risk of roundworm infection - larvae can be transmitted from an infected mother before birth and through her milk during nursing. Young puppies with heavy roundworm burdens can develop serious illness including poor growth, a pot-bellied appearance, diarrhoea and in severe cases intestinal obstruction. Roundworm eggs shed in puppy faeces are also infectious to humans, making prompt and consistent worming treatment important for the whole family. Simparica TRIO treats and controls roundworm and hookworm monthly as part of its complete parasite cover.
Will my puppy actually eat the chew? +
The liver-flavoured Simparica TRIO chew is palatable and most puppies accept it readily - many take it straight from the hand as if it were a treat. For puppies that are still learning what is and is not food, the chew can be broken into smaller pieces and offered with a small amount of their regular food, or placed directly into their mouth. It can be given with or without food so there is complete flexibility in how you offer it to your puppy.
Does Simparica TRIO protect puppies 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). Paralysis tick is particularly dangerous for puppies given their small body size - even a single tick can cause rapid and severe illness in a very young dog. TRIO starts killing paralysis ticks within 8 hours of dosing and monthly administration year-round provides continuous protection throughout puppyhood and beyond.
Is Simparica TRIO safe for all puppy breeds including sensitive breeds? +
Yes. Simparica TRIO has a well-established safety profile and is well tolerated in avermectin-sensitive breeds including Collies and related breeds. If you have a Collie, Shetland Sheepdog, Australian Shepherd or other breed with a potential MDR1 gene mutation, Simparica TRIO is a safe choice. If your puppy has any known health sensitivities or underlying conditions, it is always worth confirming with your veterinarian before starting any new medication.
Can I give Simparica TRIO alongside my puppy's other vaccinations and medications? +
Simparica TRIO is generally well tolerated alongside other medications. Puppies often receive a course of vaccinations in their first few months of life as well as other health treatments. If your puppy is currently on any other medications or treatments, it is worth mentioning to your veterinarian at your next visit so they can confirm TRIO is appropriate alongside your puppy's specific health plan.
What if I miss a dose? +
Give Simparica TRIO as soon as you remember and then continue the regular monthly schedule from that point. For heartworm prevention particularly, consistent monthly dosing without gaps is strongly recommended from the very start of your puppy's life. A free monthly reminder service is available at zoetis.com.au/pet-reminders to help you stay on track throughout puppyhood and beyond.
Are there any side effects in puppies? +
Simparica TRIO has a strong safety record and is recommended by veterinarians across Australia including for use in puppies from 8 weeks of age. 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 puppy Simparica TRIO, contact your veterinarian promptly. You can also call the Zoetis support line on 1800 814 883.
Please note: Always read the label and follow directions for use. Suitable for puppies from 8 weeks of age weighing at least 1.25kg. Not suitable for cats or other animals. Well tolerated in avermectin-sensitive breeds including Collies. Not evaluated for use in pregnant, lactating or breeding dogs - consult your veterinarian if applicable.
