NexGard dog S (2-4kg) 6 tablets

NexGard is a tasty chewable tablet for dogs which kills fleas and ticks by over-stimulating their nervous system. The active ingredient in NexGard is afoxolaner. The afoxolaner is absorbed into the bloodstream after taking the chewable tablet. Fleas and ticks attach to your dog and begin to feed. As a result they are exposed to the active ingredient and the effect occurs within 8 hours (fleas) to 48 hours (ticks). The effect against fleas will last 5 weeks, and the effect against ticks lasts 4 weeks.

Because NexGard is an oral product, swimming or bathing has no effect on NexGard.

NexGard chewable tablets should be administered according to the following table:

The chewable tablets should not be divided. For dogs above the 50 kg a combination of two tablets should be used to fit the body weight.

NexGard contains the same active substance as Frontpro.
