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.

Nexgard
The dogs love this!! Beef flavoured chewables, little did they know I'm giving them meds for their ticks and fleas. They got a terrible case of summer fleas. Luckily, Nexgard is the solution. And it solved all my problems. THank you.
Nexgard Chewables
Effectively removes fleas and ticks on my dogs. I think this are the best tasting chewables my dog got, they won't refuse it. And it's never been that way with other meds. They love it. Will continue giving this to them.
It works!
My son and I were having a flea problem. This was the fix. After the first dose, our flea population was dramatically reduced. The dogs were more comfortable with the decrease in itching. I'm glad I found this med.
Best product on the shelves!
Topicals are too messy and my picky lab hates pills, but she loves the NexGard, as its like a little treat! PetShed.com has the greatest prices around too! Its a win-win for all!
Easy, reliable, affordable.
We wish this medication had been available years ago. It is easy, reliable, and affordable, and we don't have to mess with a liquid that make out dog's fur stiff or sticky after application. Love, love, love it.

My dog has experienced no adverse side effects from this med. And you can't beat the price and customer service from Pet Shed!
David Buffaloe Loves This Product
Fantastic. Gave to my dog, in 2 days fleas and ticks nearly gone. In 1 week infestation is absolutely gone. Highly recommended.
The Only One Like It
I am so happy that I found this product last year. My dog is half Jack Russell and hated getting her flea and tick treatments. This is the only oral flea and tick only product. She thinks she's getting a treat and gobbles them right up. And to make things better, Pet Shed has the best price anywhere. I love finding bargains on quality products. I told her last night when she got it that the dog on the box was her cousin. She agreed. Now if someone would make a generic for less, I'd be even happier. Thank you Pet Shed!
Great product!
I have been using this product for about a year now. We have 3 dogs and Pet shed has been a great help, especially a few years ago when we were both unemployed!
GREAT PRICES
ok I have shopped all over. I buy the Nexgard for small dogs. There is no where but PET SHED to buy this product. You will save $$$ for sure. Crazy not to buy here. Dont even try to beat their prices. They are the best.
