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.

Best ever!
Tasty beef flavoured chews my dog loves. He can't get over it and he asks for more every time I give it. Giving him meds was never been this easy. Thank you Pet Shed and NexGard.
Tasty chewables
Unlike any other meds for ticks and fleas, my dogs love this one. They certainly love the taste. They will not spit it out, even if it's not wrapped on something. They love it just as it is. And it makes treating their ticks and fleas easier for all of us.
NexGard chewables
Thanks to NexGard!! No more ticks and fleas on my Bundit. Easy to give. He definitely love the taste. There was no hassle on this medicine. Another is prices drop down for NexGard. Yes, it is. Am I the only one who notice this?
best prices
Pet Shed really did a great job on its pricing!! NexGard chewables are now more affordable. At a very low cost, you get an ultimate protection and treatment for ticks and fleas of your dogs.
NexGard Chewables - An Answered Prayer!
Nothing can be simpler and more rewarding than giving my dog NexGard once a month. She absolutely loves the taste, I love the simplicity, and ticks and fleas don't stand a chance. Add these merits to the very low cost and no-hassle ordering process from PetShed, and you've got a winner! I'll never order from any other site! Don't waste your time and money by going any other place else!
It works!
One of my dogs has hyper-sensitive skin and had trouble with topical flea medications. She would hide under the bed as soon as she saw the box come out or hear the rustle of the foil wrapper. NexGard has been a godsend, as both of my dogs love the taste and eat the tablets without drama. And I've never noticed any fleas on them, which wasn't always the case with the topicals. My sensitive dog has stopped scratching and pulling at her fur since we started using NexGard. As far as I'm concerned NexGard is worth the extra bucks.
Happy Dog happy life
I had used a topical flea/tic treatment for a number of months and it was a chore to apply as Snickers just did not like the process. Also, I noticed that he would be sensitive in the application areas for a number of days. We live in a high flea/tic area so treatment is important. With the Nexgard tablets, as soon as I open the pack he starts doing his treat dance. Happy (and protected) dog and happy owner.
the next big thing
So far the most effective med I gave to my dog. Summer fleas are now gone. Thanks to NexGard. Not to mention its great taste that dogs ask for more of it. This will surely become a hit on the next few years. MAybe the no. 1 flea and tick control.
NexGard is the best
Kills ticks and fleas effectively. No more sucking blood parasites.
SOLVED EVERYTHING
I live in Texan and fleas and ticks are present here all year around. I need a treatment at the same time great protection for my two dogs. NexGard is just the right one. So glad NexGard is available and is very effective. Take note of its price too. It's really cheap here in Pet Shed. So much savings.
