What is Sentinel Spectrum?

Prevent your dog's heartworm and flea protection with Sentinel Spectrum, the only beef-flavored chewable to protect against 6 parasites. It is given monthly. Each chew also treats and controls whipworms, hookworms, roundworms and tapeworms. Sentinel Spectrum requires a prescription from your veterinarian.

For:

Dogs & Puppies (6+ weeks of age, weighing 2+ lbs)

Benefits:

• Delicious beef-flavored chewable
• Prevents heartworms
• Prevents and controls fleas
• Treats and controls common intestinal parasites (whipworms, hookworms, roundworms and tapeworms)
• Simple once-a-month administration
• No messy residue to worry about

Cautions:

Mild, transient hypersensitivity reactions, such as labored breathing, vomiting, hypersalivation, and lethargy, have been noted in some dogs treated with milbemycin oxime carrying a high number of circulating offspring (microfilariae). These reactions are presumably caused by the release of protein from dead or dying offspring. Do not use in puppies less than six weeks of age. Do not use in dogs or puppies weighing under two pounds. The safety of Sentinel Spectrum has not been evaluated in dogs used for breeding or in lactating females.
