ORLANDO, Fla., March 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sergeant's Pet Care Products, Inc., a leader in the pet supplies industry, showcased a variety of innovative product offerings at the 2014 Global Pet Expo in Orlando, Fla. The new products span several categories including flea and tick treatments, health and well-being solutions and treats.
"We are excited to unveil a variety of new Sergeant's and SENTRY products," said Caryn Stichler, VP of marketing for Sergeant's Pet Care Products.

The new product roster includes:
Flea and Tick
SENTRY® Fiproguard® Plus IGR: SENTRY Fiproguard Plus IGR contains fipronil, the No. 1 veterinarian-recommended active ingredient used in Frontline® brand products*. The product also contains Novaluron, an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) that kills flea eggs and stops the reinfestation cycle.
Available in pet specialty stores, SENTRY Fiproguard Plus IGR kills adult fleas, ticks, flea eggs and chewing lice. SENTRY Fiproguard Plus IGR is an affordable alternative to FRONTLINE® Plus*, which uses (s)-methoprene as its Insect Growth Regulator.
CapGuard™: CapGuard (nitenpyram) is a fast-acting oral medication for the treatment of flea infestations. Containing nitenpyram, the same veterinarian-recommended active ingredient found in Capstar® (nitenpyram)**, CapGuard is an over-the-counter tablet that begins working in 30 minutes to kill adult fleas on your pet.
Fast-acting and effective CapGuard tablets are available for dogs and cats at pet specialty retailers.
