FAQ

1. What does NexGard do for my dog?

NexGard is a monthly chewable tablet designed to prevent and treat flea and tick infestations in dogs. It works by over-stimulating the nervous system of pests upon ingestion, leading to their eventual death within hours. NexGard also provides effective control against various tick species, ensuring your dog remains protected from harmful parasites.

2. How effective is NexGard for dogs?

NexGard is highly effective in eliminating adult fleas and controlling tick infestations in dogs. Its fast-acting formula starts killing fleas within 4 hours of administration, with >99% eradication within 8 hours. Additionally, NexGard provides effective protection against pre-existing tick infestations, ensuring your dog remains flea and tick-free.

3. Does NexGard have side effects?

While it is generally well-tolerated by dogs, some potential NexGard side effects may include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and itching. These side effects are typically mild and temporary. However, if you notice any unusual symptoms after administering NexGard to your dog, it's essential to consult your veterinarian.

4. How many days does NexGard for Dogs last?

NexGard provides protection against fleas and ticks for a full month. It is recommended to administer NexGard once every 30 days to ensure continuous protection for your dog.

5. Is NexGard better than Bravecto?

Both NexGard and Bravecto are effective flea and tick treatments for dogs, but their formulations differ. NexGard is a monthly chewable tablet, while Bravecto is an oral chew that provides protection for up to 12 weeks. The choice between NexGard and Bravecto depends on factors such as your dog's preferences, your veterinarian's recommendation, and your specific needs.

6. How do I know if NexGard is working?

You can assess NexGard's effectiveness by monitoring your dog for signs of flea and tick infestations. If NexGard is working correctly, you should notice a decrease in flea activity and a reduction in tick attachment. Additionally, your dog's overall health and comfort should improve with continued use of NexGard.

7. Why is my dog itching after taking NexGard?

Itching after taking NexGard may occur in some dogs as a mild and temporary side effect. This itching is typically due to the rapid killing of fleas and ticks, leading to irritation as the parasites die and fall off the dog's skin. If your dog experiences persistent itching or discomfort after taking NexGard, consult your veterinarian for further guidance.

8. Which is safer Frontline or NexGard?

Both Frontline and NexGard are considered safe when used according to the manufacturer's instructions. However, individual dogs may react differently to each product. It's essential to discuss with your veterinarian to determine the best flea and tick treatment for dogs as per your pet’s specific needs and any potential concerns.

9. Can I cut NexGard in half?

NexGard should not be cut or divided into smaller pieces. Each NexGard chewable tablet is formulated to provide a specific dosage based on your dog's weight. Cutting NexGard may result in inaccurate dosing and reduced effectiveness.

10. Can NexGard be given twice a month?

NexGard for dogs is intended for monthly use and should not be administered more frequently than every 30 days. Giving NexGard more frequently than recommended may cause NexGard overdose and increase the risk of side effects and does not provide additional benefits in terms of flea and tick protection.

11. Is NexGard safe for puppies?

NexGard is safe for use in puppies aged 8 weeks and older, weighing 4 pounds or more. It is essential to follow the dosage instructions based on your puppy's weight to ensure their safety and efficacy of the treatment.

12. Is NexGard the best flea treatment?

NexGard is the best flea and tick protection for dogs. It is a highly effective flea treatment for dogs, but whether it is the best option depends on various factors such as your dog's age, weight, health status, and lifestyle. It's essential to consult with your veterinarian to determine the most suitable flea treatment for your dog's specific needs.
