Trifexis’ Benefits Far Outweigh Risks, Auburn University Professor Says

by Joey Kennedy

The “Trifexis killed my dog” stories keep popping up — through social media and traditional media, but don’t get into a panic if you give the medicine to your dog.

I wanted to know about the credibility of the stories because our dogs have been using Trifexis to prevent heartworm, fleas and intestinal parasites for years. It’s not a cheap drug, but it works. But I’d never want to recommend giving any companion animal, mine or anybody else’s, something that would hurt him.

I guess I got a little worried because as I was researching the rumors and stories, I went to Snopes, and the claim, “Trifexis brand parasite prevention tablets have caused the deaths of a large number of dogs,” was listed as “Undetermined.”
