Nexgard is a beef flavored chewable that kills fleas and ticks found on dogs. This new formulation created a revolution by being the first chewable that kills both fleas and ticks. Moreover, it also treats American dog tick, Brown dog tick, Lone star tick and Black-legged tick. A monthly treatment, it starts killing fleas within 8 hours and destroys 100% adult fleas within 24 hours and ticks within 48 hours of administration. Its continuous activity for four weeks keeps killing adult fleas before they lay eggs and thus prevents future infestations.
How does Nexgard Chewable works?
Nexgard contains Afoxolaner as the active ingredient. This never used before ingredient kills fleas and ticks by over-stimulating their nervous system. The ingredient mixes with the pet’s blood stream in 8 hours. When fleas or ticks bite the treated pet’s skin they consume this deadly killer and die due to hyper-excitation of nervous system. The ingredient remains active throughout the month and keeps destroying new fleas and ticks found on the pet’s body.
This new age treatment breaks the flea life cycle by killing fleas before egg production. This way, it reduces flea population by eliminating existing fleas as well as reducing egg production. It is highly effective in killing and controlling American dog ticks, deer ticks and lone star ticks.
“NEXGARD for dogs is approved to prevent Lyme disease.”
Caution: Please consult your vet before buying this product. Dogs with a history of seizure should only be treated after consulting a vet.

How does Nexgard Chewable work?
Nexgard contains the active substance Afoxolaner, which acts as an 'ectoparasiticide'. This ingredient kills parasites that live on or in the skin or in the fur of animals, such as fleas, ticks, and mites.
Does Nexgard treat heartworms?
No. Nexgard doesn’t treat heartworms but Nexgard Spectra covers fleas, ticks, and heartworms.
What is the best way to administer Nexgard?
According to a study, 89% of dogs love the taste of this chewable and take it directly in the mouth. It can be given with or without food. If the pet resists the tablet then mix it with his food like other medicines. Repeat every month preferably on the same date.
Is Nexgard safe for my dog?
When used as directed, Nexgard has been shown to be safe and effective in various breeds of dogs including the Collie breed. However, adverse reactions are rarely observed but may include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, in-appetence (loss of appetite), itching, and very rarely seizures. Use caution in dogs with a history of epilepsy or any other seizure disorder.
Does Nexgard need to be given food?
NexGard does not need to be given food. Pet owners can choose to give the chew at any time that suits them – with or without a meal.
When can I start administering Nexgard for dogs?
It can be started any time of the year and continued in all seasons. For heavily infested areas, use it across the year. If you have more than one pet then you must treat all of them with relevant flea treatments.

My rescue dog throws up only when she is given trio type preventative. Flea, tick and heart worm. My other rescue dog is fine. Is there anything more gentle on her stomach? Does this need to be given year round or only spring/summer months? is there a generic for Nexgard? My dog takes Sentinel that has protection from fleas. Is there a medication that controls just ticks? What is the delivery timeline to Desoto, Missouri?

Works Great
I live on a farm. My dog is continuously exposed to ticks. We have used this for several years. He also loves to swim and Nexguard doesn’t lose it’s effectiveness with repeated swimming.

As best as you can get. Also for a far better price than USA. Thanks for being there.
All we use from Canada are for meds for us.
