NexGard PLUS Chew for Dogs

NexGard PLUS chewable tablets offer comprehensive monthly protection for dogs against a range of parasites. Combining afoxolaner, moxidectin, and pyrantel, this product safeguards dogs against fleas, ticks, heartworm disease, roundworms, and hookworms. Suitable for puppies as young as 8 weeks old, NexGard PLUS provides a convenient and effective solution for parasite prevention in dogs.

Parasite Protection

NexGard PLUS swiftly eliminates adult fleas, preventing them from laying eggs and ensuring protection throughout the month. It targets four species of ticks commonly found on dogs in the United States, reducing the risk of tick-borne diseases. Additionally, the product provides vital protection against heartworm disease, a serious condition prevalent in all 50 states. NexGard PLUS controls roundworms and hookworms, some of the most common intestinal parasites in dogs.

Safety Information

While NexGard PLUS is generally well-tolerated, some dogs may experience adverse reactions such as diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy, and itching. Afoxolaner in the formula has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions, including tremors, ataxia, and seizures. Therefore, caution is advised when administering the product to dogs with a history of seizures or neurologic disorders. Moreover, the safety of NexGard PLUS has not been evaluated in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs. Reported adverse reactions include diarrhea and vomiting, which should be monitored closely.

Recommendations

According to the American Heartworm Society guidelines, year-round prevention of heartworm disease is recommended for all pets. NexGard PLUS chews are ineffective against adult D. immitis, the heartworm parasite. Testing for an existing heartworm infection prior to initiating preventive treatment with NexGard PLUS is crucial. If a dog is found to be infected with heartworms, the veterinarian will prescribe appropriate treatment, which may include using an adulticide. NexGard PLUS chews also come in a beef-flavored option to make administration easier and more enjoyable for dogs.

Benefits

NexGard PLUS not only provides excellent flea and tick protection but also prevents heartworm disease caused by heartworm parasites. The combination of afoxolaner, moxidectin, and pyrantel in chewable form ensures effective parasite protection year-round. The moxidectin and pyrantel chewable formula is designed to start protecting puppies from the age of 8 weeks, making it an ideal choice for early intervention against parasites.

Why am I still seeing fleas on my dog after using NexGard® PLUS chewable tablets?
Answer

You are likely seeing NEW fleas on your pet, which are jumping on your dog as it moves through infested areas. These fleas will be killed quickly by NexGardยฎ PLUS chews before they can reproduce.

To prevent new infestations, continue to give NexGard PLUS chews MONTHLY throughout the year.

Do NexGard® PLUS chews need to be used even if I have an โ€œindoor dog"?
Answer

Yes โ€“ itโ€™s a common misconception that indoor pets arenโ€™t exposed to parasites. Fleas are opportunists. Even if your dog only goes outside to do their business, theyโ€™re at risk of infestations from fleas and ticks. Fleas can even โ€œhitchhike" into a home on people, and then jump to infest dogs. An infested pet will spread flea eggs throughout the house, which can survive in your carpet or the crannies of your wood floors and then mature to infest other animals in your home. Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes. It only takes one mosquito bite to transmit heartworms to your dog โ€“ so dogs can be exposed in a very short amount of time. And unfortunately, mosquitoes commonly make their way indoors in search of hosts. Even indoors, pets arenโ€™t safe from the threat.

How do dogs get Hookworms and Roundworms?
Answer

Roundworms are extremely common in young dogs, infecting over 90% of puppies2. Itโ€™s very common for mothers to pass roundworms to their puppies prior to birth or even while the puppies are nursing. Both puppies and adult dogs may also contract roundworms by ingesting roundworm eggs from their environment, while grooming, or by eating infected animals. Hookworm larvae can be transmitted through the skin or by ingesting larvae in contaminated soil or grass in your dogโ€™s environment. Dogs may also contract hookworms by eating other infected animalsโ€”usually rodents. Puppies can also be infected if they ingest hookworm larvae while nursing.

What is heartworm disease?
Answer

Heartworm disease is an invisible, but potentially fatal threat that occurs in dogs and other animals. Heartworms (Dirofilaria immitis) are parasitic worms that are transmitted to dogs by infected mosquitoes. Microscopic larvae of heartworms develop and grow under the skin, then migrate to the blood vessels of the heart and lungs of the infected animal where they rapidly grow, becoming adults that are 5-12 inches in length.

How do dogs get heartworms?
Answer

Dogs get heartworms by being bitten by an infected mosquito. Larvae are deposited on the skin when the infected mosquito bites, then when the infected mosquito leaves, the heartworm larvae enter through the bite wound. One bite is all it takes.

What are the signs of Heartworm disease?
Answer

Not all dogs develop noticeable symptoms. While blood tests performed by your veterinarian are the best way to confirm a diagnosis of heartworm disease in dogs, here are five warning signs that are reported in dogs with advanced heartworm disease: 1. A persistent, dry cough is a common sign seen in dogs with heartworm disease. 2. Lethargy and reluctance to exercise are also common signs described in dogs with heartworm disease. 3. Some dogs have a decreased appetite and, as a result, lose weight. 4. As heartworm disease progresses, it can lead to heart failure. You may notice that your dog's belly appears swollen from fluid in the abdomen. 5. In the most advanced cases, dogs can develop more severe respiratory issues like rapid breathing in addition to coughing.

How can I reduce the risk of heartworm disease in my dog?
Answer

There are 3 things you can do to help reduce the risk of heartworm disease. 1. Reduce mosquito exposure by eliminating standing water where mosquitoes can breed, avoid known mosquito habitats, and limit outdoor exposure during peak mosquito feeding times.4 2. Use heartworm disease preventives, like monthly NexGardยฎ PLUS chewables, on a year-round basis to safely and effectively prevent heartworm disease by affecting the heartworm larvae before they can grow into dangerous adult heartworms. 3. Get Your Dog Tested Every Year. Before getting a prescription for a heartworm disease preventive, your dog should be tested for heartworms. Talk to your vet about testing options.

Can heartworm disease be treated?
Answer

Yes, it can be treated, but heartworm disease is a serious condition that can cause heart failure, permanent damage to your pet's lungs, and even death. Treating heartworm disease is costly and complicated.
