Administer Trifexis with food for maximum effectiveness. To ensure heartworm prevention, owners should observe the dog for one hour after dosing. If vomiting occurs within an hour of administration, redose with another full dose. If a dose is missed and a monthly interval between doses is exceeded, then immediate administration of Trifexis with food and resumption of monthly dosing will minimize the opportunity for the development of adult heartworm infections and flea reinfestations.
