What is Sentinel Spectrum for dogs?

Sentinel Spectrum is a broad-spectrum canine treatment for fleas, heartworms and intestinal parasites.

When administered on a monthly basis, Sentinel Spectrum prevents the development of heartworm, and protects against roundworms, hookworms and ringworms. Sentinel Spectrum varies from the original Sentinel Flavor Tabs by also protecting your dog against tapeworms.

Sentinel Spectrum controls flea infestations by eliminating adult fleas for a full month, killing them before they can lay eggs and thus breaking the breeding cycle.
