NexGard Spectra Parasite Protection For Dogs

What Is NexGard Spectra?

NexGard Spectra is an oral chewable parasite preventative designed to protect dogs inside and out. Unlike single-purpose flea or worm treatments, NexGard Spectra combines multiple protections into one monthly chew.

It is suitable for puppies and adult dogs and is commonly recommended for pet owners who want maximum coverage with minimal effort.

How NexGard Spectra Works

Dual Active Ingredients Explained

NexGard Spectra contains two proven active ingredients:

• Afoxolaner – kills fleas and ticks by overstimulating their nervous systems
• Milbemycin oxime – prevents heartworm disease and treats intestinal worms

These ingredients work together to eliminate parasites quickly and prevent future infestations when given monthly.

Fast, Systemic Protection

Because NexGard Spectra is absorbed into your dog’s bloodstream, parasites must bite to be exposed — ensuring:

• Rapid flea kill
• Consistent tick control
• Continuous internal parasite prevention
