NexGard produces a range of monthly oral chews for dogs, and this formulation is sized for small dogs in the 3.6–7.5kg weight range. A single flavoured chew administered each month delivers broad-spectrum parasite protection — covering multiple parasite types in one dose and designed to fit into a regular monthly routine without topical application.

The chew protects against fleas, ticks — including the Australian paralysis tick — and mites, with coverage lasting a full month per dose. For small dogs in tick-active areas of Australia, monthly dosing maintains continuous protection year-round. The formulation is prescription-strength; a vet should confirm the appropriate NexGard product for your dog's parasite risk and weight before purchase.

The chew format makes monthly dosing simpler than topical spot-on treatments, particularly for small dogs that resist handling. Owners in tick-prone regions often keep this in regular rotation year-round. As a prescription product, a vet visit is the right starting point for confirming the appropriate formulation.
