Dose and Administration: NexGard PLUS chews can be administered with or without food. Care should be taken to ensure that the dog consumes the complete dose, and that part of the dose is not lost or refused. If a dose is missed, administer a NexGard PLUS chew and resume a monthly dosing schedule. Please review full prescribing information.
Uses: A chewable tablet that prevents heartworms, treats and controls
ticks (lone star ticks, black-legged ticks, gulf coast ticks, American dog
ticks, brown dog ticks), and treats and prevents flea infestations. Treats and
controls roundworms, and adult hookworm infections. Flea infestations can
develop before you know it and can take many frustrating months to resolve. In
addition to itchy bites, your dog could develop flea allergy dermatitis, a
reaction to the flea's saliva. This results in itchy skin and if the fleas are left untreated, can lead to hair loss and skin infections. It only takes one tick to bring conditions such as Lyme disease, a year-round risk depending on where you live. Not only can this affect your dog, but your family could be bitten and also get the disease.
Precautions: Afoxolaner, one of the ingredients in NexGard PLUS chews, is a member of the isoxazoline class. This class has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions including tremors, ataxia, and seizures. Seizures have been reported in dogs receiving isoxazoline class drugs, even in dogs without a history of seizures. Use with caution in dogs with a history of seizures or neurologic disorders. Treatment with fewer than six monthly doses after the last exposure to mosquitoes has not been evaluated and may not provide complete heartworm prevention. Prior to administration of NexGard PLUS chews, dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infection. At the discretion of the veterinarian, infected dogs should be treated with an adulticide to remove adult heartworms. NexGard PLUS chews are not effective against adult D. immitis. The safe use of NexGard PLUS chews in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs has not been evaluated.
