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.
What is the active ingredient of NexGard?
Active ingredient:
- afoxolaner
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 REview
Unbelieveable!! For months the fleas were winning. I gave my 4 dogs NexGard chewables and within hours the fleas were dying and dropping off. Nobody had any adverse reaction and my dogs are 8 yrs, 11 yrs, 12yrs, and 13 yrs old. Awesome product and Joe's prices are also awesome!
NexGard
This is so simple to use and very effective. A lot neater too, no messy liquid to squeeze on the poor dog's neck and back. Love it!
NexGard
Easy to use, all the dogs ate the medication well. It appears it worked well on all of them with the exception of one. I am definitely trying this medication again. Joes pet med website is easy to use, delivery service excellent.
Helped treat demodex mange!
My dogs loves this... no fleas or ticks and best of all it helped with one of mine who had a severe reaction to fleas that caused him to lose fur. It also helped treat a rescue with mange... who now also has new fur growth and is healing up better and fast than anything else we've tried.
Best Product For My Dogs
Nexgard works very well for my dogs. I would recommend anyone whose pets are having tick and flea problems to use this product. :-)
Best Flea Med Ever!
Ive tried everything! Spending 100's of dollars having my yard sprayed. Ordering every medicine you can imagine then I found nexgard. Will never use anything else ever! Never seen one flea after the first use.
Nexguard
I've been using Nexgard for 2 years now. I've never found a flea or tick on any of my 6 dogs. I like Nexgard compared to the other flea and tick options due to the fact I don't have to worry about bathing them 3 days before or after. I have active animals who are always needing a bath. To them it's like a treat!!
