NexGard (afoxolaner) is given orally once a month, at the minimum dosage of 1.14 mg/lb (2.5 mg/kg). NexGard can be administered with or without food. Care should be taken that the dog consumes the complete dose, and treated animals should be observed for a few minutes to ensure that part of the dose is not lost or refused. If it is suspected that any of the dose has been lost or if vomiting occurs within two hours of administration, redose with another full dose. If a dose is missed, administer NexGard and resume a monthly dosing schedule. Flea Treatment and Prevention: Treatment with NexGard may begin at any time of the year. In areas where fleas are common year-round, monthly treatment with NexGard should continue the entire year without interruption. To minimize the likelihood of flea reinfestation, it is important to treat all animals within a household with an approved flea control product.

Afoxolaner is a member of the isoxazoline class. This class has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions including tremors, ataxia, and seizures. Seizures have been reported in dogs receiving isoxazoline class drugs, even in dogs without a history of seizures. Use with caution in dogs with a history of seizures or neurologic disorders. The safe use of NexGard (afoxolaner) in breeding, pregnant or lactating dogs has not been evaluated.

Bring back the original flavor please

Gabby's Mom

1 month ago
When NexGard first became available, my dogs ate it like a treat. Easy, peasy. Since they changed the flavor, I have to pry open my dogs mouth and poke it as far back in her mouth as possible, then hold her mouth and rub her throat until she finally gags it done. It's very stressful for both my dog and myself. I have read that this is common with many dogs not liking this flavor that you've decided to make it taste like. Your Heartgard Plus however, is still eaten as a treat with no resistance whatsoever. Can you PLEASE go back to the original flavor formula that dogs loved. Thank You.

Took my dog to a VetCo clinic at North Kingstown Petco. Got a prescription for next guard. Ordered it online through Petco, and it got rejected twice because Vet Co wouldn’t validate the prescription they wrote! What kind of business model is this?!

No, I do not recommend this product.

I have 2 large dogs, both on this medicine. My mastador will take it with no problem, but the German shepherd does not care for the taste/texture and it’s an effort to get her to take it. The cost is also a bit of a problem since I’m retired and on a fixed income. It’s not cheap, but it does seem to work so we will continue with it. It’s a better alternative than going through treatment for heartworm for sure!

Terrible service. I ordered a week ago and I’ve yet to hear if it’s been sent yet because they have to get an okay from the vet. We took our dog to Petco. It should be very easy to check with the vet.
