Sentinel Flavor Tabs are indicated for dogs and puppies four weeks of age and older, weighing at least two pounds. It prevents heartworm disease, controls flea populations, and manages adult hookworm, roundworm, and whipworm infections. Lufenuron, an active ingredient in Sentinel, prevents flea egg development, thereby controlling flea populations, but does not kill adult fleas. Give these Sentinel Flavor Tabs for dogs monthly for year-long safety.How it Works
- Lufenuron and milbemycin oxime eradicate infestation of worms and control fleas
- Milbemycin oxime, a macrocylic anthelmintic, is believed to interfere with invertebrate neurotransmission
- Milbemycin oxime is known to eliminate heartworm larvae in the tissue stage, along with roundworm (Toxascaris leonina and Toxocara canis), whipworm (Trichuris vulpis), and hookworm (Ancyclostoma caninum) when the recommended dosage schedule is followed
- Lufenuron is shown to control fleas by preventing flea eggs from developing, but it does not kill fleas in the adult stage. An adulticide may be used concurrently to control adult fleas adequately.
Special Precautions
- Sentinel Flavor Tabs should not be given to puppies under 4 weeks old or under 2 pounds.
- Your dog should be tested for heartworms prior to taking Sentinel Flavor Tabs.
Contact your closest emergency pet hospital.
Side Effects
The following side effects have been reported:
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Depression
- Lethargy
- Staggering
- Drooling
- Seizures
Studies have indicated that collies, sheepdogs, and other herding dog breeds that have a genetic mutation known as MDR1 may be more sensitive to elevated levels of milbemycin and more likely to have serious adverse reactions including coma and death. These adverse reactions are associated with high quantities of milbemycin. Discuss any concerns you have with your veterinarian. Some forms of milbemycin that contain pork extracts for flavor may cause a food allergy in some pets.
Your pet should be tested for heartworms before using Sentinel heartworm preventive, as pets with high levels of heartworms in their system sometimes react to milbemycin. Discuss the use of Sentinel for pregnant or lactating dogs with your veterinarian.

Milbemycin oxime and lufenuron
To ensure adequate absorption, always administer SENTINEL FLAVOR TABS to dogs immediately after or in conjunction with a normal meal.
SENTINEL FLAVOR TABS have no effect on adult fleas, but control flea population by breaking the flea cycle at the egg stage.
Treatment may begin at any time of the year. In geographic areas where fleas and mosquitos are seasonal, treatment should begin several weeks prior to the expected onset and should continue until the end of the flea and mosquito season. In areas with year-round infestations, treatment should continue the entire year without interruption.
It is important to treat all dogs in the household for fleas. Cats in the same household should be treated with approved products like lufenuron.
SENTINEL FLAVOR TABS must be administered monthly, preferably on the same date each month.
If you have any questions concerning the use of this product contact your veterinarian, who is your pet's healthcare expert.
