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
I have used this for 4 years and love it. We live at the beach and fleas are a real problem here but this is the only one that works. My Irish Setters are very grateful and so am I.

Works great at a great price. My dogs think its a treat! This is much less expensive than purchasing from the vet's office and equally convenient.
Nexgard for demodex
I'm in rescue and we recently took in 2 puppies with demodex. (red mange) Until now there has been nothing that would stop this. Puppies and dogs had to be dipped in harsh chemicals and sometimes ivermectin would help. But, the dogs would have bouts of demodex the rest their lives. Our vet says that Nexgard is killing these mites. We have started these two little girls on Nexgard and hopefully we will not have to use the harsh chemicals on them. I am posting this review so those of you who are dealing with this can give the Nexgard a try. The vet said it is possible the mites may develop a resistance to the Nexgard. Only time will tell. But for now I am thrilled to have it available.
NexGuard for my dog
My 15 year old pit bull loves this!!! She is very picky of what she will eat, especially when it comes to medicines. She never hesitates when she has to take her NexGuard. Love it!!!
NexGard
NexGard was recommended by my Vet. I love it! No messy tubes or trying to get my dog to sit still to apply the liquid! My dog loves the chews!
Totally Different Dog
Our dog has struggled for the past few years with a horrible flea allergy. After trying many different treatments and her chewing herself the point of bleeding. One dose of this medicine and she stopped chewing and one month later just a totally different dog. She rest easier and does not stay up all night chewing at herself. I highly recommend this product and she will never go without it again. Sarah
works Great
Nexgard works really well for all 3 of my dogs. It's easy to give (my dogs actually love the taste!} and I've never had any side effects. SOOO much more effective and less messy than the spot on treatments.
Great product, Great price
I really have enjoyed giving Nexgard to my 60lb shepard mix. I started noticing the effects after about a week. The only con for some people might be that this doesn't kill fleas on contact, they must bite your dog to ingest the "poison" and die, so I do still see the occasional live flea. But the information packet said that nexgard kills fleas before they have a chance to lay eggs, which has prevented my house from becoming infested. I also like the fact that it is not a topical treatment that my dog could potentially ingest. Overall great product, and great price.
LOVE IT!!!
NexGard works when Front Line stopped working for my dog. Thanks to Joe's and there great prices! My dog had no reaction to this med either
Best ever
I love it. I totally love everything about it! Starting from the price, authenticity of the products, and the fast delivery. Thank you Joe's Pet Meds!
