How to Give Simparica TRIO
- Weigh your dog and confirm they fall within the 40.1 to 60kg range before administering the Red pack. For dogs over 60kg, use the appropriate combination of tablets and consult your veterinarian.
- Give one chew monthly with or without food - most extra 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 the most complete all-in-one parasite protection available in a single chew. For extra large dogs that cover significant ground outdoors, TRIO eliminates the need for separate heartworm and worming treatments.
Is the Red pack right for my extra large dog? +
The Red pack is designed for extra large dogs weighing between 40.1 and 60kg - covering some of Australia's biggest and most beloved breeds including Great Danes, Rottweilers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Saint Bernards, Mastiffs, Irish Wolfhounds and larger Labradors and German Shepherds. Always weigh your dog before purchasing. For dogs weighing over 60kg, the appropriate combination of TRIO tablets should be used - consult your veterinarian for guidance on the correct dosing approach for your individual dog.
How does Simparica TRIO prevent heartworm in extra large dogs? +
Simparica TRIO takes a unique triple approach to heartworm protection. The moxidectin component prevents new heartworm infections from establishing, kills juvenile heartworm larvae already circulating in the bloodstream and the sarolaner component eliminates the Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that transmit heartworm. Together this delivers 100% effective heartworm prevention when given monthly year-round. Heartworm is transmitted by mosquitoes and is present across most of Australia year-round - making consistent monthly prevention critical for all extra large breed dogs regardless of lifestyle.
Can Simparica TRIO be given to heartworm-positive extra large dogs? +
Yes, Simparica TRIO is safe for use in heartworm-positive dogs. For extra 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 already has an existing heartworm infection - particularly relevant for dogs that may have had gaps in their prevention history - it is recommended to consult your veterinarian before starting TRIO so they can advise on the most appropriate approach.
Is Simparica TRIO safe for sensitive breeds? +
Yes. Simparica TRIO has a well-established safety profile and is well tolerated in avermectin-sensitive breeds including Collies. While most extra large breeds do not carry the avermectin sensitivity gene mutation, it is always worth mentioning to your veterinarian if your dog has known sensitivities or underlying health conditions 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). Extra large dogs that spend time on rural properties, in bushland or near coastal areas are regularly exposed to tick habitat. TRIO starts killing ticks within 8 hours of dosing and consistent monthly administration provides continuous year-round protection.
My extra large dog is on joint or other medications - can I still use TRIO? +
Simparica TRIO is generally well tolerated alongside other medications. Extra large and giant breeds are often prescribed joint supplements, anti-inflammatory medications, thyroid treatments or other ongoing therapies given the health conditions more common in larger dogs. 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 profile.
What if I miss a dose? +
Give Simparica TRIO as soon as you remember and then resume the regular monthly schedule from that point. Each dose provides up to 35 days of protection. For heartworm prevention specifically, consistent year-round monthly dosing without gaps is strongly recommended - gaps in heartworm prevention can leave your dog vulnerable to infection and may require veterinary assessment before restarting. A free monthly reminder service is available at zoetis.com.au/pet-reminders.
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. Extra large breeds with a known history of neurological conditions are worth flagging with your veterinarian before starting. If you notice anything unusual after giving your dog Simparica TRIO, contact your veterinarian promptly or call the Zoetis support line on 1800 814 883.
How do I check my extra large dog for ticks? +
Extra large dogs with thick or double coats require a particularly thorough tick check after time spent in bushland, long grass or coastal scrub. Run your fingers slowly through the entire coat against the direction of hair growth, paying close attention to the head, neck, around the ears, between toes, armpits, groin and around the tail base - common tick attachment sites. Despite thorough checking, ticks can be missed on large dogs with dense coats which is why consistent monthly TRIO protection is so important. TRIO kills paralysis ticks within 8 hours of attachment, providing a critical safety net even when a tick goes undetected.
