DIRECTIONS FOR USE

1. Test for Heartworm

Before starting SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty Chews, you should have

your veterinarian conﬁrm, by a simple test, that your dog does not have

heartworm.

Give SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty Chews with a FULL MEAL

Give your dog one Tasty Chew once a month with a FULL MEAL. Most

dogs will take a Tasty Chew from your hand. If this is not the case, try

hiding the chew in their food.

Be certain that the entire dose is consumed; watch your dog for several

minutes after dosing to ensure that this is the case. If the entire dose is

not consumed, redose as soon as possible with the full dose.

3. Dose Monthly

SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty Chews must be given every month, preferably

on the same date each month, to ensure complete protection for your dog.

Puppies

SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty Chews are available in small dog sizes that can

be given to puppies from six weeks of age.

Growing puppies may gain sufﬁcient weight during the course of treatment

to require an increased dose of SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty Chews. Consult

your veterinarian for the appropriate dosage regime for your puppy.

What happens if I miss a dose or I am late in dosing?

The regular interval between doses is one month i.e. approximately 30 days.

If you miss your regular monthly treatment by 15 days or less, administer

SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty Chews immediately and resume your monthly

dosing schedule. If the interval is longer than 15 days and up to 30 days,

heartworm prevention can be maintained if you redose immediately and

then maintain regular monthly dosing for the next 2 months. If a period

of greater than 60 days has elapsed since the last dose, please consult

your veterinarian.

How do I switch from another heartworm medication to

SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty Chews?

If SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty Chews replace daily dosing heartworm tablets

containing DEC (Diethyl-carbamazine citrate), the ﬁrst dose of SENTINEL

SPECTRUM Tasty Chews must be given within 30 days of the change-over.

If SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty Chews replace monthly heartworm prevention,

simply continue your monthly dosing regime.

PARASITE PROTECTION EXPLAINED

SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty Chews provide protection against all three

parasite groups, heartworm, intestinal worms and ﬂeas. Parasite protection is

important for your dog and your family.

Heartworm

• Heartworm can kill, cause heart disease and

organ failure.

• If untreated advanced cases can kill within 72

hours of clinical signs appearing.

• Most dogs infected with heartworm may not show

any signs of disease for several years.

Unfortunately, by this time the disease is well

advanced.

• Heartworm is spread by mosquitoes so all dogs are potentially at risk.

This is why effective prevention is so important for your dog.

Intestinal Worms

Intestinal worms include roundworm, whipworm, hookworm and tapeworm.

They are picked up from the environment and passed on through faeces of

infected dogs.

For control of intestinal worms, treat with SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty Chews

every month. In puppies, the minimum worming treatment recommended is

at 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks. SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty Chews can be used

from 6 weeks of age. In pregnant bitches, treat at mating and then every

month. Ensure there is a treatment prior to whelping.

Roundworm

• Roundworms cause diarrhoea, vomiting, abdominal

pain, stunted growth and a pot belly appearance.

• They are present in most puppies when born but

can also be picked up by dogs of any age.

Whipworm

• Whipworms cause bloody diarrhoea and anaemia.

• They are picked up from soil and passed through

faeces of infected dogs.

• Whipworms frequently evade detection.

Hookworm

• Hookworms cause bloody diarrhoea, which can

lead to anaemia and in extreme cases, death.

• Hookworms are picked up from the environment

and passed through faeces of infected dogs.

• Larvae can be swallowed or penetrate the skin.

• Hookworms can be dangerous for all dogs,

especially puppies.

Tapeworm

• There are several species of tapeworm.

• Tapeworm species can cause disease ranging

from irritation around the anal region (dogs may

“scoot” along the ground) to serious human health

risk from hydatid disease. To reduce the risk of

hydatid disease, dogs should not be fed, or allowed to

For Dogs

feed on, offal from any species.

• Fleas carry ﬂea tapeworm (Dipylidium caninum).

Fleas

• Fleas can cause extreme discomfort and a serious

canine skin condition called ﬂea allergy dermatitis.

• Fleas can also aggravate people.

Lufenuron in SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty Chews is

a ﬂea preventative. It controls ﬂea populations by

preventing the development of eggs and larvae and

does not kill adult ﬂeas.

1. Before ﬂeas are seen on the dog:

For best results, start giving SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty Chews before ﬂea

activity is anticipated and continue throughout the year without interruption.

To ensure ﬂea control, all dogs and cats within a household should be

given a ﬂea preventative. For dogs use SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty

Chews. For cats use PROGRAM

™

Oral Suspension or PROGRAM Injectable

Suspension. Untreated dogs and cats may develop infestations which

could reduce the overall ﬂea control within a household.

2. When the dog is already infested with ﬂeas:

SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty Chews do not kill adult ﬂeas. Where adult

ﬂeas are present, it will be necessary to also treat the dog with a product

registered for use against adult ﬂeas, such as CAPSTAR

™

. Treatment

with SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty Chews should also be started at this

time, and continued all year round. Initially, treatment of the pet’s

environment may also be recommended for severe ﬂea infestations. For

further information consult your veterinarian.

FLEA ALLERGY DERMATITIS (FAD)

FAD is a common condition that occurs when pets develop a hypersensitivity

(allergy) to ﬂea saliva.

In a normal dog, ﬂea bites produce very little response, however a dog with

an allergy to ﬂea bites (FAD) will experience immediate and prolonged intense

itching, redness and swelling.

The most important part of controlling FAD is preventing ﬂea bites. Lufenuron

reduces the number of ﬂeas in the pet’s environment to a negligible level.

Treatment with lufenuron for several months has been shown to dramatically

improve the clinical signs of FAD in dogs.

PRECAUTIONS

SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty Chews provide a wide margin of safety in

dogs when used according to label directions. Milbemycin oxime has

been tested in over 75 different breeds of dogs, including pregnant

females, breeding males and females, and puppies from 2 weeks

of age. Satisfactory margins of safety have been demonstrated for

both milbemycin oxime and praziquantel when administered during all

reproductive phases.

Some mild, transient, shock-like reactions have occurred when

treating heartworm positive dogs carrying a high number of

microﬁlariae at the time of the ﬁrst treatment with milbemycin

oxime.

The following adverse reactions have been reported in dogs after

giving milbemycin oxime and lufenuron together in tablet form:

vomiting, diarrhoea, depression/lethargy or pruritus. SENTINEL

SPECTRUM Tasty Chews have been tested in puppies from 6

weeks of age. In safety studies with SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty

Chews, in some cases puppies showed reduced activity, ataxia,

tremors and salivation. These signs were most commonly seen

with overdosing and were mild, observed only within 24 hours of

treatment, and resolved without medical intervention. Contact your

veterinarian if any unusual signs develop following treatment with

SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty Chews.

FIRST AID: If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons

Information Centre (Ph: 13 1126).

DISPOSAL: Dispose of empty containers by wrapping with paper and

putting in garbage.

STORAGE: Store below 25°C (Air Conditioning), away from direct sunlight.

Due to its palatable nature, SENTINEL SPECTRUM Tasty Chews should be stored

out of reach of dogs.
