Simparica Chewables for Puppies 2.8–5.5 lbs (Yellow)

Give your puppy the protection they need from an early age with Simparica — the fast-acting, liver-flavoured monthly chewable for puppies and small dogs 2.8–5.5 lbs (identified by the yellow packaging).

Starts Working Fast

Simparica begins killing fleas within 3 hours and ticks within 8 hours of the first dose — and keeps working for a full 35 days.

Broad Parasite Coverage

Each chewable protects against:

• Fleas (kills before they can lay eggs, breaking the lifecycle)
• 5 species of ticks — including American dog tick, black-legged (deer) tick, Gulf Coast tick, Lone Star tick, and brown dog tick
• Demodex mange mites and sarcoptic mange (scabies)

Why Puppy Owners Love Simparica

Simparica is a liver-flavoured, soft chewable that even young dogs take willingly — no stressful battles at treatment time. It's given once monthly, making it easy to build into your puppy's routine from day one. Starting parasite protection early sets your puppy up for a lifetime of healthy habits.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Quickly Does Simparica Start Working?

Simparica starts killing fleas within 3 hours and ticks within 8 hours of the first dose. It continues providing full protection for 35 days.

Is Simparica the Same as Simparica Trio?

No. Simparica contains sarolaner only and protects against fleas, ticks, and mange mites. Simparica Trio also contains moxidectin and pyrantel, adding protection against heartworm, roundworm, and hookworm. If you need all-in-one coverage for an older puppy or adult dog, consider Simparica Trio instead.

Do I Need a Prescription to Buy Simparica from Smartway?

No. Smartway Pet Supplies ships genuine Simparica from Australia, where it can be legally supplied without a prescription. No vet visit or prescription upload is required to place your order.

Is the Yellow Pack the Right Size for My Puppy?

The yellow pack is designed for puppies and dogs weighing 2.8–5.5 lbs (1.25–2.5 kg). As your puppy grows and moves out of this weight range, make sure to transition to the appropriate next size — the orange pack for dogs 11.1–22 lbs is the next step up.

At What Age Can I Start Giving Simparica to My Puppy?

Simparica is safe for puppies from 8 weeks of age and older, provided they weigh at least 2.8 lbs. It is one of the earliest-starting flea and tick chewables available, making it ideal for new puppy owners wanting to establish protection right away.

Can Simparica Be Given With Food?

Simparica can be given with or without food. Most puppies accept it readily on its own due to its liver flavour, but giving it alongside a meal is perfectly fine if preferred.

How Often Should I Give Simparica to My Puppy?

Simparica is given once every 35 days (approximately monthly). Building it into a regular monthly routine from puppyhood helps ensure your dog never misses a dose as they grow.

Is Simparica Safe for Puppies?

Simparica is specifically approved for use in puppies 8 weeks of age and older weighing at least 2.8 lbs. The yellow pack delivers the correct low sarolaner dose for the smallest dogs and puppies. Puppies with a history of seizures or neurological conditions should only use Simparica under veterinary guidance, as sarolaner belongs to the isoxazoline class which has been associated with neurological events in rare cases.
