Ultimate Guide to Nexgard Chewables

Meet the First Non-Topical Flea and Tick Killer: Nexgard Chewables!

Nexgard Chewables is the #1 veterinarian-approved flea and tick control medication for your dogs. Nexgard Chewables is a revolutionary monthly soft chew because it is the first oral flea and tick preventative of its kind. Nexgard Chewables ensure that your pup is in the best lovable condition that he or she can be.

How does Nexgard Chewables work?

Nexgard Chewables is a monthly flea treatment with one active ingredient Afoxolaner (the generic name for the brand name Nexgard). Afoxolaner is known to effectively prevent and control adult flea infestations before they lay eggs. It also kills ticks too!

Once the dog ingests Nexgard Chewables, the chew's ingredient actively distributes throughout the body so that when the blood-sucking parasites bite your dog, their exposure to afoxolaner kills them.

A big plus is that Nexgard Chewables (and all Nexgard products) will kill infected black-legged ticks before they can transmit Lyme Disease.
