NEXGARD SPECTRA - FLEAS, TICKS, MITES, HEARTWORM & WORM TREATMENT
Nexgard Spectra for dogs is a beef-flavored chewable for fleas, ticks and worm treatment. It is an effective treatment of Paralysis ticks, Bush ticks, and Brown Dog ticks. This monthly treatment is also effective in heartworm prevention in dogs, so you do not need to administer heartworm treatment for dogs separately. It is available in the form of chewable tablets for easy dosage. Nexgard Spectra is a broad-spectrum dog wormer that works as a major preventive measure against the zoonotic hookworm, Ancylostoma ceylanicum along with gut worms such as whipworms and roundworms. The oral treatment is effective for gastrointestinal nematodes. NexGard Spectra also treats and controls mange and mites on dogs (demodectic mange, sarcoptic mange and ear mites). Some flea tablets or worming tablets can be difficult to administer, but NexGard Spectra is a highly palatable beef-flavoured chew that your dog will truly love.
How does it work?
Nexgard Spectra combines two active ingredients, including Afoxolaner and Milbemycin Oxime. Afoxolaner is an ingredient that acts as an ectoparasiticide; meaning it kills external parasites such as fleas, ticks and mites. Afoxolaner kills fleas before they lay eggs and helps to reduce contamination of the dog's environment. Afoxolaner is also a highly effective tick treatment for dogs (paralysis ticks, bush ticks, and brown dog ticks). The other ingredient, Milbemycin Oxime acts as an endoparasiticide. This means that it kills parasites like worms that live inside dogs. It is effective for protection against roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. The chewable treatment disrupts the signals passed in the nervous system of parasites in a way that causes paralysis and eliminates the parasites. Nexgard Spectra is a monthly treatment that ensures protection against heartworms, fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms.
