Treatment Schedule

For optimal treatment and control of fleas and ticks, the product should be administered at regular monthly intervals.
Treatment with Simparica may begin at any time of the year, if a flea infestation already exists, fleas can continue to emerge into the environment for weeks to months - because of the continuing development of existing flea eggs, larvae and pupae already present before the time of treatment - it may take more than a single treatment to achieve acceptable flea control.

Treatment should continue without interruption all year round - breaks in protection can allow for an environmental flea burden to re-establish.
To minimise the likelihood of flea re-infestation, it is important to treat all dogs and cats within the household - Simparica is approved for use in dogs only - check product labels for an appropriate approved flea control for use in cats

For the treatment of ear mites (Otodectes cynotis):
The product should be administered for two consecutive months, cleansing of the affected ears is recommended to remove the debris associated with ear mites.

For the treatment of sarcoptic mange (Sarcoptes scabiei var. canis):
The product should be administered for two consecutive months.

For the treatment of demodicosis (Demodex canis) infestations:
The product should be administered monthly until the absence of mites is confirmed by two consecutive monthly skin scrapings done by your veterinarian.
