Preventing health problems before they occur is something all pet owners are passionate about. Prevention is also much cheaper than cure in the case of pets and vet bills. Feeding your pet high-quality food contributes to good long-term health. Immunisations and regular deworming are also essential aspects of pet care along with tick and flea treatments to keep external pests under control. But what about internal pests? That’s precisely where NexGard Spectra comes in.
What is NexGard Spectra?
These preventative treats are tasty broad-spectrum oral chews that treat and prevent tick, flea, and mite infestations. Soft and soy-based, these chews taste like beef, and since they’re so delicious, your dogs will never try and flee when it’s time for preventative care.
How does it work?
NexGard Spectra is a monthly treatment that helps prevent external and internal pests from plaguing your pets. Within 30 minutes of administering the “treat”, the product starts killing fleas. It kills ticks in 48 hours and also prevents heartworm, hookworm, and roundworm infestations.
Is NexGard Spectra suitable for all dogs?
Yes! Regardless of how big or small your furry friend is, NexGard is suitable for him or her since it comes available in 5 sizes.
What’s the difference between Nexgard and Nexgard Spectra?
NexGard protects dogs against brown dog ticks, bush ticks, and the potentially deadly paralysis tick. NexGard SPECTRA contains an additional active ingredient, milbemycin oxime, which provides protection against heartworm and intestinal worms.
How effective is this treatment?
We recently had the opportunity to review the range of NexGard Spectra chewable treatments. The chewable tick & flea treatment is administered orally and contains fluralaner. This medicine starts working after 30minutes of being administered and should keep your dog protected for up to 4 weeks.
There’s no guesswork to be done since pet owners can choose between suitable dosages for toy, small, medium, large, and extra-large breeds. Since dogs love the taste of NexGard chews, they’re effortless to administer and non-messy.
If your dog happens to get sick and vomits after he or she ingested the tablet, it won’t offer any protection. You also need to keep in mind that these chews don’t repel ticks and fleas. The pests die when they bite your dog. Another thing to keep in mind is the price. NexGard Spectra chews are not the cheapest on the market. They’re much more expensive than spot-on treatments. But they’re one of your most effective solutions.
