NexGard Chewables for Dogs are beef-flavored, soft chewables that make protecting your dog from fleas and ticks simple and stress-free. Instead of messy spot-on treatments, you can give your pup a tasty monthly chew they’ll look forward to. NexGard starts killing fleas within just 4 hours and provides reliable protection for a full 30 days, helping keep your dog comfortable and itch-free. It’s suitable for dogs and puppies 8 weeks of age and older, weighing 4 lbs or more, making it a convenient option for growing pups too. With one easy chew each month, you can feel confident knowing you’re helping protect your furry family member from harmful parasites.
NexGard contains afoxolaner, an ingredient that works by targeting fleas and ticks specifically, helping eliminate them quickly while remaining safe for dogs when used as directed. It kills adult fleas and is indicated for the treatment and prevention of flea infestations (Ctenocephalides felis). It also treats and controls tick infestations, including black-legged ticks, American dog ticks, lone star ticks, brown dog ticks, and longhorned ticks.
By killing black-legged ticks, NexGard is indicated for the prevention of Lyme disease infections. Laboratory studies show high effectiveness against fleas within 8 hours and sustained protection against key tick species for a full month.
Your veterinarian can help determine the correct dosage based on your dog’s current weight.
