Sentinel for dogs: When do allergic reactions or side effects begin?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 2 months and 17 days old | 13 lbs

Giving Sentinel for the first time today. Within how many minutes/hours will I see an allergic reaction if any? Is it common to get side effects from this? Luke is healthy and has never had any worms

Sentinel is a very safe and effective medication. Allergic reactions could potentially occur quickly after giving the medications or a day or so later. If your puppy is healthy then the chance of a reaction is very low.
