Novartis Sentinel

Novartis Sentinel The Combination Flea And Parasite Preventative.

Novartis is a world wide company whose mission is to bring life saving and enhancing products to people and their animals. Novartis makes Sentinel for dogs. Novartis Sentinel protects dogs against heartworms, fleas, whipworms, adult hookworms, and adult roundworms. Sentinel is a flavored, chewable tablet given once a month. Novartis Sentinel is a convenient way to protect dogs against many different parasites. Protection against parasites is important for the health of your dog. Heartworms are easily transmitted to a dog by a mosquito. Indoor dogs are as vulnerable as outdoor dogs. Heartworm infestation causes heart and lung damage. Left untreated, the dog will most likely die.

Roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms not only cause your dog to suffer – roundworms and hookworms can be transmitted to your family. Fleas larvae can hatch and infest a home in just 2 days. They can come inside on anyone, not just the dog, and are viable year round. Once monthly Novartis Sentinel is a simple solution. Novartis Sentinel is dosed by the weight of the dog: 2-10; 11-25; 26-50; 51-100 pounds. For dogs over 100 pounds, use the appropriate weight combination. Novartis Sentinel comes in convenient 12 and 6 packs. Veterinarians may sell individual tablets, especially for growing dogs.
