NexGard
NexGard chewables are an easy way to protect your dog from fleas and ticks. The tasty bite-sized chewables kill adult fleas before they lay eggs and get flea infestations under control before they get started! NexGard also kills the Lone Star tick, American Dog tick, Black-legged tick, and Brown dog tick, all of which cause disease in your canine friends.
NexGard for dogs comes in a variety of dosages that you select based on your dog’s weight. The product is safe for use in puppies 8 weeks of age or older that weigh 1.8kg or more. Choosing the right dosage helps reduce the possibility of side-effects and ensures the treatment is effective. Each dosage lasts for a month before it must be repeated.
The active ingredient in NexGard is afoxolaner, an agent that keeps killing fleas and ticks for an entire month. Afoxolaner works by over-stimulating the pests’ nervous system. Studies show that NexGard kills 100% of fleas within 24 hours. Fleas rise to the top of the pet’s fur as they die, so you know that the treatment is doing its job.
NexGard for dogs is great for dogs that spend a lot of time in the water. Since they take the chewables orally, it doesn’t affect them if they get wet. That means you don’t have to limit your dog’s time in the pool during the hottest part of summer.
It’s important to note that you shouldn’t use NexGard for cats or other pets. It is formulated specifically for use in dogs. Some side effects have been reported including vomiting, diarrhea, itching and lack of appetite. The company recommends caution when using in dogs with a history of seizures. Always use the appropriate dosage for your pet and talk to your vet if you have any concerns. Most dog owners find it a safe, reliable way to control fleas and ticks.
