NexGard chewables are beef-flavoured chews containing the active ingredient afoxolaner. After administration, afoxolaner circulates in the bloodstream. When fleas or ticks bite, they ingest the compound, which kills them within hours and helps prevent infestations.

NexGard will kill fleas already on a dog within 8 hours of administration. Regular monthly dosing ensures continuous protection against re-infestation.

Give one chewable once a month.

NexGard is approved for puppies from 8 weeks of age and weighing at least 2 kg. Chewables come in four weight-based strengths, so you can select the correct size for your dog's current weight and adjust if they grow.
