* Studies have indicated that certain dogs of the herding breeds are more sensitive to the effects of ivermectin administered at elevated dose levels due to the MDR1 gene. Collies, Aussies, English and German Shepherds, Sheepdogs. Aussies are particularly at risk!!!

** Treatment with fewer than 6 monthly doses after the last exposure to mosquitoes may not provide complete heartworm prevention. Prior to administration of Sentinel Spectrum, dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infections.

***Spinosad, a flea-control medication included in Comfortis and Trifexis (also called AcuGuard and ComboGuard), increases the risk of neurological toxicity IN ANY DOG when combined with high doses of ivermectin (and possibly other drugs) used to treat parasites. While theoretically safe, use caution when combining Heartgard, HG +, Tri-Heart +, Iverhart, or other ivermectin heartworm preventive drugs with products containing spinosad. Do not combine high doses of ivermectin with spinosad.
