What is Nexgard SPECTRA?

NexGard SPECTRA is an all-in-one parasite protection chewable for dogs and cats. It combines two active ingredients, afoxolaner and milbemycin oxime, to combat a wide range of pests. Afoxolaner targets fleas and ticks, quickly killing them upon contact. Milbemycin oxime works against worms, including heartworms, roundworms, tapeworms, and hookworms.

These active ingredients begin to work as soon as the chew is administered. They spread through your pet’s body, providing comprehensive protection. A single monthly chew maintains your pet's health and keeps them free from pests. Plus, it has a beefy flavour that pets enjoy. It's pest protection that's easy and tasty!

Why NexGard SPECTRA Excels at Parasite Protection

Still on the fence about NexGard SPECTRA? Here are some reasons why it’s one of the most effective flea and tick control treatments today:

  • Broad Spectrum Protection : It targets more than just fleas and ticks. This chew also eliminates heartworms, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and other intestinal worm infestations.

  • Two Powerful Ingredients : The combination of afoxolaner and milbemycin oxime ensures comprehensive defence from both external and internal parasites.

  • Monthly Treatment : Just one chew a month keeps the parasites away. It’s easy to remember and even easier to administer.

  • Tasty Treat : Who says medicine has to taste bad? The beef-flavoured chew is a hit even with picky eaters.

  • Fast-Acting : It starts killing fleas in just a few hours and offers a full month of protection, keeping your dog happy and healthy.

Choosing the Chew That Suits Your Pet

With options for every pet size, choosing the chew that suits your pet’s needs is pretty easy. Here’s a simple guide to make sure you get the right NexGard SPECTRA chewable for your pet:

  • Check the Size : NexGard SPECTRA comes in varieties for very small dogs, small dogs, medium dogs, large dogs, and even very large dogs. The same goes for cats. Matching the right product to your pet’s weight ensures optimal effectiveness. In general, very small dogs are those that weigh less than 10 pounds. While extra-large dogs typically weigh over 100 pounds.

  • Consider Age : Puppies and kittens can start on NexGard SPECTRA from 8 weeks of age, provided they meet the minimum weight requirement of 2 kg for dogs and 0.8 kg for cats.

  • Assess Needs : Think about your dog’s exposure to different parasites. NexGard SPECTRA offers protection against fleas, ticks (including ear mites, paralysis ticks, Australian bush ticks, and brown dog ticks), heartworms, and various intestinal worms like roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms.

If you’re unsure or your dog has health concerns, make sure to consult with your vet. They can provide personalised advice based on your dog’s specific health needs.

Determining the Right Dose

Like any treatment, giving the right NexGard SPECTRA dosage to your pet ensures its effectiveness. Here’s how to make sure you’re giving the right dose every single time:

  • Follow the Guidelines : The packaging provides clear dosing instructions based on your pet's weight. So, make sure to check the chart and select the appropriate chew.

  • No Guesswork : Don't try to eyeball the dose or split chews between pets. Each chew is precisely formulated to provide the right amount of active ingredients for one pet, so stick to the recommended dosage.

  • Regular Monthly Schedule : Stick to a monthly dosing schedule to maintain continuous protection. Missing a dose can leave your pet vulnerable to parasites.

Again, if you have any concerns about dosing or your dog's health, it’s crucial to consult your veterinarian. Don’t hesitate to contact them for tailored advice.

Making Flea Control Treatments Easier

Giving NexGard SPECTRA to your pet shouldn’t be a hassle. Here are some tips to make flea control treatments easier for you and your pet:

  • Timing is Everything : Give NexGard SPECTRA with a meal or shortly after. It helps with absorption and reduces the chance of an upset stomach.

  • Chew, Don't Crush : Serve the chew whole, like a tasty treat. Don't crush or break it apart, as it may affect its effectiveness.

  • Watch and Wait : Keep an eye on your pet after giving the chew. If they spit it out or don't eat it within a few minutes, offer it again or consult your vet.

  • Praise and Reward : Make it a positive experience! Praise your pet and give them a treat after they've taken their NexGard SPECTRA. It reinforces good behaviour and makes future doses easier.

  • Stay Consistent : Stick to a monthly schedule. Set a reminder on your phone or calendar to ensure you never miss a dose.

  • Keep It Up : Even if your pet seems flea-free, continue giving NexGard SPECTRA monthly. It prevents infestations and keeps them protected year-round.

When to Call the Vet

While NexGard SPECTRA is generally safe, some pups may experience mild side effects, like vomiting, diarrohea, or lethargy. If your dog shows any unusual symptoms after taking NexGard SPECTRA, keep a close eye on them. Watch for signs of discomfort or distress.

If side effects persist or worsen, don't hesitate to call your vet. They can provide guidance on how to manage symptoms or whether further action is needed.

In rare cases, severe reactions, like seizures or difficulty breathing, may occur. If your dog experiences any of these symptoms, you should rush to the vet clinic immediately.

If you do need to visit the vet, bring along information about NexGard SPECTRA, including when your dog took it and any observed side effects. It helps the vet make informed decisions about your dog's care.
