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.

Moved here too Florida had trouble with fleas, went too a groomer for my dog found fleas was using something else for flea protection, she told me too try Nex Gard for my pet--did and it is fanastic so easy to use and does the job--no more fleas!!
Very affordable price
I've been using Nexgard ever since I had my dog and I'm so glad Pet Shed brough Nexgard to lower prices. Now it is more affordable and more people can now buy it. It's a great medicine for ticks and fleas. You won't regret buying this one.
Where have you been my whole pugs life!?!?!
This is by far the BEST flea control option out there... I have used frontline and advantage on my Pug for years and for years he has had continous fleas because he has an incredible amount of the thickest hair ever and the flea treatments never were able to do their job because of this... I was a little hesitant to buy the Nexgard because of the price, but I am so glad we did and will never use anything else.. With in 2 weeks of the first dose my pug was FLEA FREE.. I never thought it was possible... but he has not had a flea on him since... my pug thanks you NexGard <3
chewables
My dogs totally love Nexgard! They're into it. The taste seems perfect for them. And they always ask for more whenever I give them their monthly dosage.

Best for my dogs
This has always been the best for my dogs. I have three dogs now and they're all taking NexGard every month. It keeps away from ticks and fleas.
Great in eliminating ticks and fleas
In just one chew, my dogs are now safe from ticks and fleas. The med is great in eliminating blood sucking parasites. I'm using this for my 3 dogs and they are all tick and flea free now. Thanks to nexGard
Nexgard
My Boykin has been on Nexgard for over a year and it is pretty expensive here in the US. So when we acquired a new dog (stray), we debated putting her on the same meds due to the expense. With PetShed, we now can give them both NexGard since it is half the price. Since starting the new dog on NexGard, I have not seen a flea or tick on her. Neither dog has had any adverse effects from this medication and there is no messy greasy line down their backs as with the topical treatments.
