Product Detail: NexGard
NexGard
NexGard (afoxolaner) is FDA-approved for veterinarian use and demonstrated 100% effectiveness against adult fleas 24 hours post-infestation for 35 days. NexGard rapidly kills adult fleas and is indicated for the treatment and prevention of flea (Ctenocephalides spp.) infestations, for the control of newly acquired adult fleas, and for the control of Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD). Following administration, fleas are killed within 6-8 hours. Rapid onset of action kills newly acquired fleas before they can lay eggs.
How NexGard works
Effective flea control with NexGard prevents flea tapeworm infestation in dogs. Nexgard treats and controls Paralysis ticks (Ixodes holocyclus), Brown Dog ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus), American Dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis), and Bush ticks (Haemaphysalis longicornis) for one month. NexGard provides effective control of pre-existing Paralysis tick infestations within 24 hours. Ixodes holocyclus ticks do not occur in Western Australia.
NexGard treats and controls demodectic mange caused by Demodex spp., sarcoptic mange caused by Sarcoptes scabiei, and ear mite (Otodectes cynotis) infestations.

How can NexGard be administered to dogs?
NexGard is a soft, highly palatable chewable and is readily consumed by dogs when offered as a treat. Alternatively, NexGard may be added intact to a small amount of dog food. Care should be taken that the dog consumes the complete dose, and treated dogs should be observed for a few minutes to ensure that part of the dose is not lost or rejected. If it is suspected that any of the dose has been lost, treat again with another full dose.
The recommended dosage is 2.5 mg per kg bodyweight:
Dog Weight (kg) Chewable size (g) Afoxolaner (mg/chew)
2-4 0.5 11.3
4.1-10 1.25 28.3
10.1-25 3 68.0
25.1-50 6 136.0
For dogs over 50 kg, administer the appropriate combination of chewables. To have optimal performance, treat your dog on or about the same day each month.
Is NexGard safe for dogs?
NexGard was shown to be safe in various breeds of dogs and in puppies 8 weeks and older. NexGard may be administered in conjunction with gastrointestinal worm or heartworm treatments administered according to label directions. Afoxolaner is part of the isoxazoline family of chemicals. Adverse reactions to this family of chemicals are rarely observed but may include vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy, inappetance, itching, and very rarely, seizures. Most adverse reactions are self-limiting and of short duration. If you have any concerns, please speak to your veterinarian.

I love this NexGard. So as my dogs. I just hope they will restock NexGard for large dogs soon.
Nexgard
I love to buy NexGard from Pet Shed. Easy to purchase. And it's very affordable.Great products and great prices indeed!!
great meds
Best ever!! So easy for dogs to chew. And they absolutely love the taste. So I have no worries on how they're going to take it. My dogs have been tick and flea free for almost a year now and that's all because of nexGard.
Great Meds (Slow Shipping)
This med is great for controlling fleas and ticks. PetShed by far has the product at the lowest available price. Do note that you will likely get a package for a country other than the US which is fine (and likely why it can be at a lower cost) so it will list the weights in KG rather than pounds. If you are worried just have google convert the number to pounds to see that you have the correct product. I will have to say that I have ordered from this site three times now and the shipping is ALWAYS very slow and I have had to call them to have them reship a package that didn't seem to ever arrive. They were nice about this but it meant that the package took almost a month to arrive as they will not consider a package lost for two weeks. Just order early if you depend on the med. If you order at the last minute you dog might not get the med that month.
No more fleas
We've tried this to our senior dog and it works well. Removing fleas have never been this easy. Thank you Pet Shed!
NexGard Chewables
Been using NexGard for almost half the year and so far it works best on my dogs. THE DOGS KNOW WHEN I OPEN A BOX OF NEXGARD. They love beef. And having nexGard makes it easier for me to give their treatments.
Nexgard Chewables
Best flea product I've ever tried to my dogs.
Tick and flea prevention
This product is worth of every penny. Great preventive.
Chewables MUCH Better Than Topical
So glad this product is on the market. I've always hated the topical option as it just didn't seem a very efficient mechanism for delivering the meds and it tended to irritate our 3 dogs skin. Been buying NexGard since it came available. Dogs love it! They think they are treats. Switching over was easy with no complications.
Chewables that work
HAppy I found NexGard. Pet Shed offers great price for this product and it's very effective to my dogs. They love the taste too since it is beef flavoured chews.
