How often should I give my dog Simparica and Milbemax treatments?

Question

Apologies for the bad picture... how often should this brand of flea and worming treatment be given? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male | neutered | 1 year and 8 months old

No worries. The one on the left (Simparica) should be given every 30 days and the one on the left (Milbemax) should only be given once initially and then again in 2 weeks for the treatment of roundworms and hookworms. Although if Jake only had tapeworms it only requires one treatment of the Milbemax. Tapeworms, if found in your pets stool, are caused by ingesting a flea, so reinfection is possible if you don’t keep up with giving the Simparica on time every month. I hope this helps. Best wishes and take care!
