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.

chewables
Living in California with pets is quite hard. Because of the climate, parasites are almost everywhere. I badly need protection for my dogs. NexGard works it all for me. Especially for ticks and fleas. Provides great protection for my dogs.
Tick and flea control
NexGard works the best for my dogs. Easy to take for my dogs. No hassle. COz they absolutely love it. I guess it must be the great flavor in it.
Love this product
Nexguard was the only product that worked this year for fleas. Running a rescue and having so many dogs coming thru this product was perfect!
Effective
I doubt this meds at first because I find spot on treatments better. I tried other tablets but they just don't work on my dog. When NexGard prices were reduced, I was tempted to buy it. And I don't regret anything. They're perfect. And they're very effective.
NexGard chewables
Tick and fleas are all year around in our area. They're present everywhere. And it's annoying. NexGard is a great protection for my dogs. I don't want to get my dogs and house infested by those parasites. I gave my dogs monthly dosage of NexGard and they're fine with it. Seems to works well on them.
Nexgard
I've used this product for 3 months on 2 outside dogs(35 &55 lbs) in the country, and have been very pleased with the results .Frontline had not always gotten all the ticks and they left sores sometimes. Nexgard has apparently worked on all tick species we have here in eastern NC, and being a chewable that they like is a real plus! I would recomend this product.
Good job
Nexgard is amazing. I gave my dogs Nexgard and I can see how fleas were lessen in just a matter of a week. Yes I can still see some, but I'm pretty sure they will all be lost. Soon.
No more fleas and ticks
Best flea and tick treatment I have found for my mini aussie. We tried other topical treatments that left us picking many ticks off of her ! Petshed has the best prices.
No more fleas
NexGard chewables rock! Great in killing ticks and fleas on your dogs. It is chewables so the effect may take a longer time than spot on treatments. But is is the easiest way to treat your dogs. And most importantly, the dogs enjoy this med. Thanks!
Great price
The vet can't beat your price! Nor other online stores out there. I'm using Nexgard to my dogs because it's easy for them to take the meds. And I'm very happy you got the cheapest price for Nexgard.
