CanadaPetCare March Sale 2022

Summer has begun and so is the season of pests. There are a myriad of bugs that pose a threat to our dear pets, but fleas, ticks and worms are the most common culprits among them.

And, as a responsible pet parent, we know you will do whatever you can to keep that nuisance away from your pets.

Nevertheless, spending on individual treatments for fleas, ticks and worms isn’t worthwhile. Your pets will have to go through multiple doses and treatments, plus it can be big on your budget.

Therefore, the best way out is to choose one treatment that will efficiently protect your pets against all these buggers.

Here’s a rundown of such all-in-one products that you can choose from:

1. Simparica Trio

Simparica Trio Online

Simparica Trio is another all rounder monthly treatment for dogs by Zoetis. It is an oral chewable treatment and is readily accepted by canines. Simparica Trio protects dogs from fleas, five types of ticks, hookworms, roundworms, and heartworms.

How it works?

Sarolaner works at the neuromuscular junction of the parasites, which leads to paralysis and death.
