Product Detail: NexGard (afoxolaner) Chewables

NexGard 

NexGard (afoxolaner) is FDA-approved for veterinarian use and demonstrated 100% effectiveness against adult fleas 24 hours post-infestation for 35 days. NexGard rapidly kills adult fleas and is indicated for the treatment and prevention of flea (Ctenocephalides spp.) infestations, for the control of newly acquired adult fleas, and for the control of Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD). Following administration, fleas are killed within 6-8 hours. Rapid onset of action kills newly acquired fleas before they can lay eggs.

 

How NexGard works

Effective flea control with NexGard prevents flea tapeworm infestation in dogs. Nexgard treats and controls Paralysis ticks (Ixodes holocyclus), Brown Dog ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus), treatment and control of American Dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis), and Bush ticks (Haemaphysalis longicornis) for one month. NexGard provides effective control of pre-existing Paralysis tick infestations within 24 hours. Ixodes holocyclus ticks do not occur in Western Australia. 

NexGard treats and controls demodectic mange caused by Demodex spp., sarcoptic mange caused by Sarcoptes scabiei, and ear mite (Otodectes cynotis) infestations.

How can NexGard be administered to dogs?

NexGard is a soft, highly palatable chewable and is readily consumed by dogs when offered as a treat. Alternatively, NexGard may be added intact to a small amount of dog food. Care should be taken that the dog consumes the complete dose, and treated dogs should be observed for a few minutes to ensure that part of the dose is not lost or rejected. If it is suspected that any of the dose has been lost, treat again with another full dose.

The recommended dosage is 2.5 mg per kg bodyweight:

 

Dog Weight (kg)    Chewable size (g)    Afoxolaner (mg/chew)    

2-4                                        0.5                              11.3

4.1-10                                   1.25                            28.3

10.1-25                                 3                                 68.0

25.1-50                                 6                                 136.0

For dogs over 50 kg, administer the appropriate combination of chewables.

For optimal performance, treat your dog on or about the same day each month.

 

Is NexGard safe for dogs?

NexGard was shown to be safe in various breeds of dogs and in puppies 8 weeks and older. NexGard may be administered in conjunction with gastrointestinal worm or heartworm treatments administered according to label directions. Afoxolaner is part of the isoxazoline family of chemicals. Adverse reactions to this family of chemicals are rarely observed but may include vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy, inappetance, itching, and very rarely, seizures. Most adverse reactions are self-limiting and of short duration. If you have any concerns, please speak to your veterinarian.

NexGard is a great product!

I have four dogs who use NexGard chewables faithfully monthly. All four love the taste and always get excited when they see the box. They know the great taste of the NexGard is coming their way and they think of it as a great treat. It does the trick to get rid of fleas and ticks here in the hot summer south and I will always use it. Try it you too will love it for your dogs to control fleas and ticks.

Great Product!

My Mother in law turned me on to this. We have 3 dogs, 2 are outside dogs, here in FL. We have tried every flea medication out there. None, with luck, just more fleas & the dogs were losing hair. They have been on this for 3 months now. The fleas are gone & all of our dogs coats are fully, shinier, healthier. I would recommend this product to everyone.

AMAZING

This product worked great. We live in FL & have 3 dogs. Fleas have been a nightmare for us for years. Our vet has tried so many other meds, but have failed to control the fleas. then I stumbled across this. Wow. Within 2 days, all 3 dogs were flea free. It last for about 26 to 28 days, so if you wait a full month to give them their next dose, they will have fleas again for a couple. I recommend this product to everyone now.

My dogs are ~ 11 years old and I've tried multiple products over the years. When my Vet suggested NexGard we tried it straight away. Both dogs act like it's a treat and snarf it right down. I've had no problems with ticks or fleas and I live in Florida! They have never gotten sick or experienced any issues with it's use. I highly recommend NexGard to anyone who loves their dogs.

I have been using Joes Pet Meds for years and love that I can order products for my dogs at a reasonable price, without having to go to the Vet and pay double. The one time I had a minor issue of not receiving product, they were quick to rectify the situation and credited my card so that i could go back on and purchase again. Great Company and will continue to use.

Great Product

I have 3 adult large breed dogs and 2 puppies we live near the beach and fleas are really an issue here. So the only thing that works here because of the moisture in the air is the NexGard. I am so glad I can cone to Joe's and get it with out having to go to the vet's office every time I need it and I save money too.

Only product that works for us!

We have used a countless number of flea control products in the past, and none of them worked. This in the ONLY product we found to work on our pups!!!

I bought a home in the country and it came with 2 big dogs--a Black Lab and a German Shepherd--and both of them constantly run in the woods surrounding the home. I had given them a flea/tick treatment which goes between the shoulder blades, but they were still scratching and I saw ticks on them. A veterinarian recommended NexGard and the results were AMAZING!! Within ONE day, the dogs were no longer scratching and as I looked through their fur for ticks, the only ticks on them were dead. I have never seen a product work so wonderfully! I was on the Joe's Pet Meds website today to buy it for all of my dad's hunting hounds and he can't wait to try it. What a FABULOUS product--I recommend it to anyone!!! Thank you NexGard and thank you joespetmeds.com!!

Finally Its Easy To Say No To Fleas and Ticks

My dogs both run and play in fields and woods with unfortunately a high population of ticks. We used drops on their backs for years, but hated that the medication sat on their skin, rubbing on us and our home. Plus the first few days they smelled and had an oil slick on their back. Now we have completely switched to Nexgard and love it. Same control-only dead ticks on them-from a simple treat they eat once a month. We love it and my dogs do too! Plus Joes Pet Meds is the best place to order from. Easy, quality, quick.
