NexGard is a monthly beef-flavoured chewable that protects dogs against fleas, ticks, mites, and lice. Formulated for dogs weighing 25.1–50kg, it's sold in a 3-pack supply for convenient monthly dosing. The soft chew format means most dogs take it readily — no wrestling with tablets or spot-on applicators.

The active ingredient afoxolaner works systemically to kill fleas within hours of ingestion, disrupting the flea life cycle before infestations take hold. Cover extends to paralysis ticks, brown dog ticks, mites, lice, and flea tapeworm carriers. Each chew provides 35 days of flea protection when given monthly. Because it's oral, there's no need to avoid bathing or swimming after dosing.

NexGard suits owners who find topical treatments difficult to apply — the beef flavour means most dogs treat it as a reward rather than medication. Monthly dosing fits easily into a routine, and availability across pet retailers means ongoing protection without a vet visit for every refill.
