We endorse this Product:
Our own dogs - 2 sociable and active outdoor great danes - have taken Sentinel at the beginning of every month, plus Advantix in the middle of the hot humid summer months when tick protection is vital, and they have never had more than momentary botheration from fleas!
It is normal for dogs to become a little "flushed" on their underside while this product works its magic.
That's why we prefer to administer it at bed-time, after they have been well-exercised, and around subsequent feeding time, when all they want to do is sleep.
Please note that Sentinel acts as a growth inhibitor, preventing fleas from multiplying on your dog.
It is possible for adult fleas to land on your dog and cause it bother, although they will not be able to multiply and cause total infestation. If this happens, then we recommend Capstar as a fast-acting knock-out of the adult fleas - but you will probably find this unnecessary if you are combining Sentinel with Advantix to doubly protect your dog.
Heartworm
Can kill, cause heart disease and organ failure
Untreated, advanced cases can kill within 72 hours of symptoms appearing

Intestinal Worms
Roundworm

Roundworm are present in most puppies when born and can also be picked up by dogs from soil
Hookworm

Attach to the intestinal lining, leaving bleeding intestinal wounds
Are picked up from the environment, and passed through faeces of infected dogs
Larvae can be swallowed or can penetrate the skin
Can be dangerous for all dogs, especially puppies
Whipworm
Cause bloody diarrhoea and anaemia
Are picked up from the soil, and passed through faeces of infected dogs
Frequently evade detection
Tapeworm

Are picked up by eating fleas or uncooked offal from infected animals
Can cause serious risk to humans
Fleas
Can cause extreme discomfort and a serious canine skin condition called flea allergy dermatitis
Spread tapeworm, another parasite that may affect your dog
Note: This product does not control Ringworm:
Ringworm is in fact not a worm, but a fungal complaint.
It manifested itself badly in the warm humid NSW climate that we experienced last summer, and is easily identified by use of the Urine-Free Black Light.
If your dog has ringworm, then we recommend you try Neem Oil shampoo or soap and/or Malaseb shampoo (call 02-9300 9390 to order).
If the problems persists more than a week after treatment, then see your vet.
And it's infectious, so keep your dog away from other animals and kids till you are sure it is cleared up.
The SENTINEL SPECTRUM 100% Guarantee
SENTINEL SPECTRUM will prevent heartworm and control hookworm, roundworm, whipworm, and tapeworm in your dog(s). In the unlikely event that your dog shows clinical signs of disease caused by any of these worms and tests positive, when SENTINEL SPECTRUM has been administered according to the label and leaflet instructions, Novartis Animal Health will reimburse all reasonable costs incurred in treating those diseases.
If your dog really doesn't like ingesting tablets, then you might consider an alternative "spot-on" treatment. We recommend either Revolution or Advocate - both very effective 3-in-1-treatments easily administered by application to the dog's skin around the top of the spine. And for total protection against ticks and midges, use Advantix topical treatment mid-month.
