Easy Monthly Administration
Giving NexGard® is simple and fits into most routines:
-
Choose the correct chew based on your dog’s current body weight
-
Give one chew every 30 days
-
Offer it by hand or with food
Consistency matters. Regular monthly use helps support ongoing control and reduces the chance of fleas returning.
How NexGard® Works
NexGard® contains afoxolaner, an active ingredient that works after your dog eats the chew. Once ingested, it’s absorbed into your dog’s system.
When fleas or ticks bite, they’re exposed to the active ingredient, which disrupts their nervous system and leads to elimination. With consistent monthly use, NexGard® supports continuous flea control and helps manage tick exposure over time.
Suitable for a Wide Range of Dogs
NexGard® comes in multiple strengths to suit different sizes and weights, and it’s commonly used for:
-
Adult dogs
-
Puppies from 8 weeks of age (as long as they meet minimum weight requirements for the selected chew)
Always select the correct strength for your dog’s weight and follow label directions carefully.
Safety Information
NexGard® is widely used and generally well tolerated when given as directed. As with any parasite treatment:
-
Observe your dog after administration, especially the first time
-
Use caution in dogs with a history of neurological conditions
-
Speak with your veterinarian before use in pregnant or lactating dogs
-
If your dog experiences unexpected reactions, seek professional advice promptly
