NexGard Chewable Tablets for Dogs (25.1–50 kg)

Protect your dog from fleas and ticks with NexGard Chewable Tablets, a vet-recommended solution designed for dogs weighing between 25.1 and 50 kg. Each pack contains 3 chewable tablets, each with 136.0 mg of Afoxolaner, a powerful active ingredient that provides month-long protection against fleas (Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis) and ticks (including Dermacentor reticulatus, Ixodes ricinus, and Rhipicephalus sanguineus). Manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim, NexGard is a trusted choice for pet owners seeking reliable parasite control.

How NexGard Works

NexGard contains Afoxolaner, an isoxazoline-class insecticide and acaricide that targets the nervous system of fleas and ticks. After ingestion, Afoxolaner is absorbed into your dog’s bloodstream and distributed throughout their body. When fleas or ticks bite your dog, they ingest Afoxolaner, which overstimulates their nervous system, leading to rapid paralysis and death. This mechanism ensures:

• Flea Control: Kills adult fleas before they can lay eggs, breaking the flea life cycle and preventing infestations.

• Tick Control: Kills ticks within 48 hours of attachment, reducing the risk of tick-borne diseases such as Lyme disease or babesiosis.

• Month-Long Protection: Each tablet provides 30 days of continuous protection, making it a convenient once-a-month treatment.

Key Benefits

• Fast-Acting Flea and Tick Protection: Starts killing fleas within 8 hours and ticks within 48 hours, providing quick relief from infestations.

• Prevents Flea Infestations: Kills fleas before they can lay eggs, helping to prevent re-infestation and keeping your home flea-free.

• Reduces Risk of Tick-Borne Diseases: Effective against multiple tick species, reducing the risk of diseases transmitted by ticks.

• Palatable Chewable Tablet: The beef-flavored chew is highly palatable, making it easy to administer—most dogs will eat it as a treat.

• Safe for Dogs: Suitable for dogs weighing 25.1–50 kg and at least 8 weeks of age, with a well-established safety profile when used as directed.

• Convenient Monthly Dosing: One tablet per month provides consistent protection, fitting seamlessly into your pet care routine.

Dosage and Administration

NexGard is designed for dogs weighing between 25.1 and 50 kg. The recommended dosage is:

• 1 tablet (136.0 mg Afoxolaner) per month for dogs in this weight range.

Administration Instructions:

1. Offer the tablet directly to your dog as a treat. Most dogs will readily accept the beef-flavored chew.

2. If your dog does not eat the tablet voluntarily, you can mix it with a small amount of food to ensure they consume the full dose.

3. Administer the tablet on the same day each month to maintain continuous protection.

4. Ensure your dog has access to fresh drinking water after administration.

Note: NexGard can be given with or without food. If your dog vomits within 2 hours of administration, re-dose with another tablet. Consult your veterinarian if vomiting persists or if you have concerns about dosing.

Indications

NexGard is indicated for:

• Treatment and prevention of flea infestations (Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis).
