NexGard Chewables for Medium Dogs 24.1–60 lbs (10.1–25 kg) – Flea & Tick Prevention (Green)

NexGard Chewables for Medium Dogs deliver fast, once-monthly protection against fleas and ticks in a soft, beef-flavored chew most dogs take like a treat. Formulated specifically for medium dogs weighing 24.1–60 lbs (10.1–25 kg), NexGard (Green) makes parasite prevention simple — no greasy topicals, no gloves, no waiting before petting your dog.

Why Medium-Dog Owners Choose NexGard

• Kills fleas fast: Starts working within 4 hours and kills 100% within 8 hours of dosing.
• Controls multiple tick species: Including black-legged (deer) ticks, American dog ticks, lone star ticks, and brown dog ticks.
• One chew, once a month: Easy to remember, easy to give.
• Beef-flavored, soft-textured: Most dogs accept it as a treat — no wrapping in cheese.
• No mess, no residue: Bathe, swim, and snuggle right after dosing.
• Properly sized: The Green pack is dosed specifically for dogs 24.1–60 lbs — never split or share doses across sizes.

How NexGard Works

NexGard’s active ingredient, afoxolaner, is absorbed into your dog’s bloodstream after the chew is consumed. When fleas and ticks bite, they ingest afoxolaner and are killed before they can reproduce or transmit disease. This systemic approach means full-body protection — parasites can’t hide in fur or hard-to-reach spots the way they can with some topicals.

Who It’s For

• Medium dogs weighing 24.1–60 lbs (10.1–25 kg)
• Puppies and adult dogs 8 weeks of age and older
• Healthy dogs without a history of seizures (consult your vet if your dog has a seizure history)

How to Give NexGard

1. Give one chew per month, on the same date each month.
2. Offer directly as a treat, or with food — either works.
3. Make sure your dog chews and swallows the full dose.
4. Year-round dosing gives the best protection, especially in tick-active regions.

Possible Side Effects

NexGard is well tolerated by most dogs. Mild, short-lived side effects can include vomiting, diarrhea, itching, lethargy, or reduced appetite. Contact your veterinarian if anything persists or you have concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Green the right pack for my Labrador / Golden Retriever / Boxer?
Most adult Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Boxers, and similar medium-to-large breeds fit within the Green range (24.1–60 lbs). Weigh your dog at their next vet visit to be sure — if they’re over 60 lbs, the Red pack is the right choice.

Can I split a Green chew between two smaller dogs?
No — never split or share NexGard chews. The chew is formulated to deliver the right afoxolaner dose for one dog in the 24.1–60 lbs range. Splitting risks both under-dosing and over-dosing.

How quickly does NexGard start killing fleas?
Fleas start dying within 4 hours, and 100% are typically killed within 8 hours of the first dose. Each chew keeps working for a full 30 days.

Do I need a prescription to buy NexGard?
No — SmartWay Pet Supplies ships NexGard over the counter to customers across the US and Canada. No prescription or vet authorization required at checkout.

What if my dog vomits within a few hours of taking NexGard?
If your dog vomits within 2 hours of dosing, you can give a replacement chew — the dose was likely lost. If vomiting happens later than that, the active ingredient has already been absorbed and a replacement isn’t needed. Contact your vet if vomiting is unusual or persistent.

Should I dose year-round or only in flea season?
Year-round is the recommendation. Fleas survive indoors all winter, and ticks remain active in cooler months across much of the US and Canada. Consistent monthly dosing prevents new infestations from getting started.
