NexGard Chewables are a monthly flea and tick control for dogs. Each beef-flavored chew contains afoxolaner. It kills fleas and ticks for a full month, and it kills fleas before they can lay eggs.
NexGard is FDA-approved to prevent infections that cause Lyme disease in dogs by killing black-legged ticks. The FDA has also issued an Emergency Use Authorization for treating infestations of New World Screwworm (Cochliomyia hominivorax) larvae (myiasis) in dogs and puppies.
Give one chew by mouth once a month, with or without food. The dose is based on body weight. It is for puppies 8 weeks and older and dogs weighing as little as 4 pounds. Make sure your dog eats the complete dose, and watch for a few minutes afterward.
