Trifexis Chewable Tablets for Dogs 20.1 to 40 lbs, 6 Month Supply (Prescription Needed)
Trifexis is a comprehensive dewormer for dogs and puppies that offers protection against various parasites. It comes in a monthly chewable tablet that is formulated to kill fleas and prevent flea infestations, prevent heartworm disease, and treat and control adult hookworm, roundworm, and whipworm infections.
One of the strengths of Trifexis is that it uses two active ingredients, spinosad and milbemycin oxime, to provide superior protection against different types of parasites.
The milbemycin oxime component is used as a heartworm preventive and kills the immature form of the heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) transmitted by mosquitoes.
Additionally, it effectively kills adult hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms. The spinosad component in Trifexis is specifically designed to prevent and control flea infestations by killing adult fleas.
Trifexis is easy to administer, comes in a beef-flavored tablet, and can be offered as a treat to your dog. It is safe for use in dogs and puppies 8 weeks of age or older, and 5 lbs of body weight or greater.
