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.

My dogs love it! And I can no longer see ticks and fleas on them. Very effective. I'm happy I bought this from Pet Shed. Waited for quite a while on receiving my order but it's all worth it. I love the product.
Happy pets
I have two corgis and they love this! No hassle on giving them meds. They love it,just as it is. What they do not know is that I'm giving them meds ha ha ha. Great way to trick your pets at the same time treat them.
A Great Success
I have used NexGard before. It Basically saved my Cheasapeake Bay Retriever's life. He had allergy and skin issues for several years and there wasn't anything that was working for his relief after many vet visits and medications. Then NexGard became available and it was like a miracle! He doesn't itch and he is a happier dog with a healthy coat. Besides helping my Chessie, I have recommended NexGard to several friends that are dog owners and they have had EXCELLENT results with their dogs. My daughter has a Pembrooke Welsh Corgi that was having "itch issues" when they moved to Virginia from New Hampshire and I recommended NexGard to her. She now has her three dogs, Corgi, Lab, & Jack Russell on NexGard and not only are they itch free but have healthy coats and smiles on their faces!!! Thanks again NexGard!!!
Thank you!
Best Price/value out there!
Wonderful!!!
This is the only flee and tick control that has worked for Marlin, my Golden Retreiver. He thinks that he is getting a treat, when I pick up the box he comes running!
Yorkie
My little Yorkie is allergic to many items. I tried the usual flea and tick medications and they caused him more torment than the fleas and ticks! Finally, I found out about NexGard from my vet's office staff. I was afraid to use it because of recent medications he had tried, but decided to give it a try. When I did give it to him, he gobbled it down like a delicious treat, and I held my breath to see how he would respond. He had NO reactions. Also, I have never found a flea on him and we like in a rural wooded area. PetShed offers it at a better price than any where I have checked. Thank you, Pet Shed! and thanks to NexGard for a medication that my little allergic Yorkie can tolerate.
Tasty chews
