It is no different with Sentinel Spectrum, which should be given once a month on the same day each month.įor example if you fed the first tablet on March 3rd then you should continue to give the tablets on the 3rd of each month for uninterrupted exposure.

Most flea and heartworm medications are effective for a full 30 days from the date the first dose was given. If your dog is known to scarf things down without chewing, break the tablet into pieces and feed it to them that way to ensure it is fully effective once eaten. You do need to make sure your dog eats the entire tablet (and chews the tablet!). For situations like this you can use traditional methods of hiding pills, such as a pill-pocket or hiding the tablet in a piece of cheese or lunch meat. While most dogs will eat an oral chew tablet like these with no question, some are still suspicious. They flavor the tabs in beef or bacon flavor to entice the dog to eat the treat without hesitation. This is the best part of all these new medications – they are made in a way that your dog is likely to believe he is just getting another treat, not medication. It is said that it can be used alongside CapStar to prevent adult fleas – however if you were looking for total all-in-one heartworm and flea prevention you may not be happy with Sentinel. This can prevent the need for an additional dewormer, saving you money, time and hassle later down the road.Īs far as flea control goes this product is not quite as superior as others – it only kills flea eggs and larva, not the adult fleas. Sentinel will both treat and control whipworms, hookworms, roundworms and tapeworms. Along with treating immature heartworm larva and preventing them from turning into adult worms it protects against several other common types of worms.
This particular form of the medication is a bit different than some of the others. There are many products out there like this now, whereas there used to only be a couple – and each has their own good qualities and downsides. Sentinel Spectrum is a heartworm preventative and flea control treatment given in the form of an oral chew tablet.
