A MESSAGE FROM THE NAVC PRESIDENT
What Moves You? That’s what the NAVC Conference 2016 is all about. We know you’re moved to help animals and people with access to the best veterinary care. Continuing education is a huge part of that — which is why, at this Conference, you’ll find the industry’s widest variety of programs to advance your knowledge. We also know that stress is a huge concern in our profession, so we’re providing activities that help you relax and reenergize while you’re here. You’ll find special tracks on leadership and personal growth as well as extras such as our IGNITE! talks, Meet the Professor Luncheons and local trips to observe wildlife care. You’ll also find entertainment, receptions, restful lounges and other opportunities to let your hair down and make new connections for mutual support and camaraderie.
Christine Navarre, DVM, MS, DACVIM (LAIM) President 2015-2016 NAVC Board of Directors
At the NAVC Conference 2016, we’re sure you’ll find something that inspires you to move exactly where you want to go. To your success,
A MESSAGE FROM THE NAVC CEO The thing that moves me most is making sure we can rise, as an organization, to fully and uniquely support the passion we see in you and in thousands of fellow veterinary professionals.
Our NAVC Conference 2016 theme, “What Moves You?” illustrates the many individual reasons we’re committed to you. We work to support Dr. Sue Ettinger, whose mission is to find cancer earlier in all patients; Dr. Carrie Wilson Rodriguez, who’s driven to make a meaningful difference in the human-animal bond; and every other veterinarian, technician, practice manager, student and faculty member we serve. You’ll find their stories at NAVC.com/Move, where you can share your story as well. We hope you’ll plan on attending the NAVC Conference 2016 to connect, grow and thrive in ways that move you. Let’s move veterinary medicine forward together.
Thomas M. Bohn, CAE Chief Executive Officer

Indications SENTINEL® SPECTRUM® (milbemycin oxime/lufenuron/praziquantel) is indicated for the prevention of heartworm disease caused by Dirofilaria immitis; for the prevention and control of flea populations (Ctenocephalides felis); and for the treatment and control of adult roundworm (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina), adult hookworm (Ancylostoma caninum), adult whipworm (Trichuris vulpis), and adult tapeworm (Taenia pisiformis, Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus granulosus) infections in dogs and puppies two pounds of body weight or greater and six weeks of age and older. Dosage and Administration SENTINEL SPECTRUM should be administered orally, once every month, at the minimum dosage of 0.23 mg/lb (0.5 mg/kg) milbemycin oxime, 4.55 mg/lb (10 mg/kg) lufenuron, and 2.28 mg/lb (5 mg/kg) praziquantel. For heartworm prevention, give once monthly for at least 6 months after exposure to mosquitoes. Dosage Schedule Body Weight

Administer the appropriate combination of chewables
To ensure adequate absorption, always administer SENTINEL SPECTRUM to dogs immediately after or in conjunction with a normal meal. SENTINEL SPECTRUM may be offered to the dog by hand or added to a small amount of dog food. The chewables should be administered in a manner that encourages the dog to chew, rather than to swallow without chewing. Chewables may be broken into pieces and fed to dogs that normally swallow treats whole. Care should be taken that the dog consumes the complete dose, and treated animals should be observed a few minutes after administration to ensure that no part of the dose is lost or rejected. If it is suspected that any of the dose has been lost, redosing is recommended. Contraindications There are no known contraindications to the use of SENTINEL SPECTRUM. Warnings Not for use in humans. Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children. Precautions Treatment with fewer than 6 monthly doses after the last exposure to mosquitoes may not provide complete heartworm prevention. Prior to administration of SENTINEL SPECTRUM, dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infections. At the discretion of the veterinarian, infected dogs should be treated to remove adult heartworms. SENTINEL SPECTRUM is not effective against adult D. immitis. Mild, transient hypersensitivity reactions, such as labored breathing, vomiting, hypersalivation, and lethargy, have been noted in some dogs treated with milbemycin oxime carrying a high number of circulating microfilariae. These reactions are presumably caused by release of protein from dead or dying microfilariae. Do not use in puppies less than six weeks of age.
BRIEF SUMMARY: Please consult package insert for complete product information. Indications: For use in dogs to prevent canine heartworm disease by eliminating the tissue stage of heartworm larvae (Dirofilaria immitis) for a month (30 days) after infection and for the treatment and control of roundworms (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina), hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum, Uncinaria stenocephala, Ancylostoma braziliense), and tapeworms (Dipylidium caninum, Taenia pisiformis). WARNINGS: For use in dogs only. Keep this and all drugs out of reach of children. In safety studies, testicular hypoplasia was observed in some dogs receiving 3 and 5 times the maximum recommended dose monthly for 6 months (see Animal Safety). In case of ingestion by humans, clients should be advised to contact a physician immediately. Physicians may contact a Poison Control Center for advice concerning cases of ingestion by humans. PRECAUTIONS: Use with caution in sick, debilitated, or underweight animals and dogs weighing less than 10 lbs (see Animal Safety). The safe use of this drug has not been evaluated in pregnant or lactating bitches. All dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infection before starting treatment with IVERHART MAX Chewable Tablets, which are not effective against adult D. immitis. Infected dogs should be treated to remove adult heartworms and microfilariae before initiating a heartworm prevention program. While some microfilariae may be killed by the ivermectin in IVERHART MAX Chewable Tablets at the recommended dose level, IVERHART MAX Chewable Tablets are not effective for microfilariae clearance. A mild hypersensitivity-type reaction, presumably due to dead or dying microfilariae and particularly involving a transient diarrhea, has been observed in clinical trials with ivermectin alone after treatment of some dogs that have circulating microfilariae. ADVERSE REACTIONS: In clinical field trials with ivermectin/pyrantel pamoate, vomiting or diarrhea within 24 hours of dosing was rarely observed (1.1% of administered doses). The following adverse reactions have been reported following the use of ivermectin: depression/lethargy, vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea, mydriasis, ataxia, staggering, convulsions and hypersalivation. ANIMAL SAFETY: Studies with ivermectin indicate that certain dogs of the Collie breed are more sensitive to the effects of ivermectin administered at elevated dose levels (more than 16 times the target use level of 6 mcg/kg) than dogs of other breeds. At elevated doses, sensitive dogs showed adverse reactions which included mydriasis, depression, ataxia, tremors, drooling, paresis, recumbency, excitability, stupor, coma and death. No signs of toxicity were seen at 10 times the recommended dose (27.2 mcg/lb) in sensitive Collies. Results of these studies and bioequivalence studies support the safety of ivermectin products in dogs, including Collies, when used as recommended by the label. In a laboratory safety study, 12-week-old Beagle puppies receiving 3 and 5 times the recommended dose once weekly for 13 weeks demonstrated a dose-related decrease in testicular maturation compared to untreated controls. HOW SUPPLIED: IVERHART MAX Chewable Tablets are available in four dosage strengths (see Dosage section) for dogs of different weights. Each strength comes in a box of 6 chewable tablets, packed 10 boxes per display box. STORAGE INFORMATION: Store at 20°C -25°C (68°F-77°F), excursions permitted between 15°C-30°C (59°F-86°F). Protect product from light.
Do not use in dogs or puppies less than two pounds of body weight.
For technical assistance or to report adverse drug reactions, please call 1-800-338-3659.
The safety of SENTINEL SPECTRUM has not been evaluated in dogs used for breeding or in lactating females. Studies have been performed with milbemycin oxime and lufenuron alone.
Manufactured by: Virbac AH, Inc. Fort Worth, TX 76137
Adverse Reactions The following adverse reactions have been reported in dogs after administration of milbemycin oxime, lufenuron, or praziquantel: vomiting, depression/lethargy, pruritus, urticaria, diarrhea, anorexia, skin congestion, ataxia, convulsions, salivation, and weakness.

BROAD COVERAGE IN A SOFT CHEWABLE Protection against six parasites instead of only three.
TO ORDER, CALL YOUR DISTRIBUTOR REPRESENTATIVE OR CALL YOUR VIRBAC REPRESENTATIVE AT 1-844-4-VIRBAC (1-844-484-7222). Dogs should be tested for heartworm prior to use. Mild hypersensitivity reactions have been noted in some dogs carrying a high number of circulating microfilariae. Treatment with fewer than 6 monthly doses after the last exposure to mosquitoes may not provide complete heartworm protection.
