NexGard is a monthly beef-flavoured chew that protects dogs against fleas, paralysis ticks, mites and lice. This listing covers the medium-dog size (weight range up to 25kg) in various pack configurations, from single 6-packs through to bundled 6PK x 2 supplies for a year's coverage.

The active ingredient afoxolaner starts killing fleas within hours and controls paralysis ticks for a full month per chew. Because it's an oral treatment, there's no residue on the coat, nothing to wash off after swimming or bathing, and no waiting period before family contact. It also treats demodectic and sarcoptic mange mites.

Owners in tick-prone areas of eastern Australia often prefer NexGard because most dogs take the chew like a treat, which removes the hassle of topicals on thick coats. Buying a 12-month supply upfront also keeps the monthly routine on autopilot.
