NexGard SPECTRA^® for Dogs: Flea, tick, mite, lice, heartworm and intestinal worm protection

NexGard SPECTRA kills ticks by over-stimulating their nervous system, which results in death of the parasite.

The active ingredients in NexGard SPECTRA are absorbed within 4 hours, resulting in rapid protection for your dog. For example, following administration, fleas are killed within 8 hours.  See product label for full claim details and directions for use.

NexGard SPECTRA provides the most complete protection from fleas, ticks, mites, lice, heartworm and intestinal worms, all in one tasty chew. See product label for full claim details and directions for use.

You should dose your dog once a month, ideally on the same day of each month.  See product label for full claim details and directions for use.

NexGard SPECTRA is safe for all breeds of dog when used as directed and can be given to puppies from 8 weeks of age, providing they weigh at least 1.35 kg.  See product label for full claim details and directions for use.

NexGard SPECTRA treats and controls three of the most common mites infesting dogs: Demodex mites (the cause of demodectic mange), Sarcoptes mites (the cause of sarcoptic mange, also know as scabies) and Otodectes, or ear mites (the cause of otodectic mange). See product label for full claim details and directions for use.

NexGard SPECTRA is effective against hookworm, roundworm AND whipworm, unlike some other products. It also effectively controls fleas and prevents flea tapeworm.^{^}

Hookworm, whipworm and roundworm are a risk for all dogs as they are easily picked up from contaminated soil, sand or vegetation (like at the dog park). Some worms that affect dogs can be transmitted to people and that’s why treating your dog monthly with NexGard SPECTRA all-year-round is so important.

^_{By rapidly killing fleas, NexGard SPECTRA prevents flea tapeworm when used according to label. If active infection is present, a praziquantel-containing product such as ParaGard should be used.}
