Simparica TRIO Flea, Tick and Worm Chewable Tablets for Extra Small Dogs 2.6-5kg
Extra small dogs have outsized personalities and an equally impressive talent for finding trouble - which means their need for parasite protection is just as real as any large breed. Simparica TRIO Purple pack is the all-in-one monthly chew formulated specifically for extra small dogs weighing 2.6 to 5kg, delivering a precise combination of sarolaner (6mg), moxidectin (0.12mg) and pyrantel (25mg) per chew. Complete vet-grade protection against fleas, paralysis ticks, deadly heartworm, roundworm, hookworm, mites, mange and the mosquitoes that transmit heartworm - all in a single liver-flavoured chew that is easy to give and easy for your little dog to eat. APVMA-approved and trusted by veterinarians across Australia, TRIO gives your small but mighty companion complete parasite protection every month, year-round.

How to Give Simparica TRIO
- 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 extra small dogs take it readily as a treat.
- For fussier dogs, break the chew into smaller pieces and offer with food, or place directly into their mouth.
- Repeat every month year-round for continuous protection.
- 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 for extra small dogs? +
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. For extra small dogs that are often kept close to home, the added heartworm and intestinal worm cover that TRIO provides means you are getting complete parasite protection in one easy monthly chew rather than needing separate products for different parasites.
Is the Purple pack right for my extra small dog? +
The Purple pack is designed for extra small dogs weighing between 2.6 and 5kg. This covers a range of popular small breeds including Chihuahuas, Toy Poodles, Miniature Dachshunds, Maltese, Papillons, Yorkshire Terriers and Pomeranians. Always weigh your dog before purchasing - body weight in very small dogs can vary considerably even within the same breed. If your dog is graduating from the Yellow puppy pack, confirm they have reached 2.6kg before switching to Purple.
Do extra small dogs really need heartworm prevention? +
Absolutely. Heartworm is transmitted by mosquitoes and affects dogs of all sizes across most of Australia year-round - size offers no protection from infection. In fact small and extra small dogs may be more vulnerable to the effects of heartworm disease given their smaller heart and lung capacity. TRIO's triple heartworm approach prevents new infections, kills juvenile larvae already in the bloodstream and eliminates the mosquitoes that transmit heartworm - providing 100% effective prevention when given consistently every month.
Does Simparica TRIO protect extra small dogs 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 extra small dogs - their small body size means even a single tick can cause rapid and severe paralysis. TRIO starts killing paralysis ticks within 8 hours of dosing and consistent year-round monthly dosing provides uninterrupted protection.
My extra small dog is a picky eater - will they take the chew? +
Extra small breeds are sometimes notorious for their food opinions - but the liver-flavoured Simparica TRIO chew is palatable and most small dogs accept it readily as a treat. For the occasionally fussy dog, try breaking the chew into smaller pieces and tucking it into a tiny amount of their favourite food, or offering it alongside a preferred treat. It can be given with or without food so you have full flexibility in how you choose to administer it.
Is Simparica TRIO safe for sensitive toy breeds? +
Yes. Simparica TRIO has a well-established safety profile and is well tolerated in avermectin-sensitive breeds including Collies and related breeds. Many popular extra small and toy breeds are also avermectin-sensitive or carry other genetic sensitivities, so if your dog has any known health conditions or breed-specific sensitivities, it is always worth confirming with your veterinarian that TRIO is appropriate for your individual dog before starting.
Can Simparica TRIO be given alongside other medications my small dog takes? +
Simparica TRIO is generally well tolerated alongside other medications. Extra small and toy breeds are often on heart medications, dental treatments or other ongoing therapies. If your dog is currently receiving any other treatments or supplements, check with your veterinarian before starting TRIO to ensure there are no concerns specific to your dog's health profile or 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. For heartworm prevention specifically, consistent monthly dosing without gaps is strongly recommended year-round. A free monthly reminder service 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 extra small dog Simparica TRIO, contact your veterinarian promptly or call the Zoetis support line on 1800 814 883.
