Benefits of Nexgard Spectra For Very Large Dogs

Protect from Fleas:

  • The flea-killing properties of Nexgard Spectra protect your dog's health and your house from fleas.
  • They're not just a bother. Dogs can get skin problems from them, they can transmit diseases, and they can be irritating
  • Although it is best to prevent fleas from the start, if your dog does acquire them, regular use of Nexgard Spectra will kill them quickly and prevent them from infesting your home.

Protect from Ticks:

  • With one chew, Nexgard Spectra Red helps protect your dog from deadly Paralysis ticks, Bush ticks and Brown Dog ticks for a full month
  • The Paralysis tick causes the most concern, as without protection, dogs can die from the effects of the toxin it injects
  • In large numbers, Brown Dog ticks can also harm dogs with life-threatening anaemia and by transmitting other dangerous parasites such as Babesia

Protect from Heartworm Disease:

  • Nexgard Spectra is given monthly to protect your dog from heartworms (Your vet may require a heartworm test before Nexgard Spectra can be given.)
  • All Australian mainland states are infested with mosquitoes that spread the disease
  • When left untreated, this disease can be fatal, so it's important to protect your dog against it.

Protect from Intestinal worms:

With Nexgard Spectra, your dog is protected from roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms.

Nexgard Spectra provides effective flea control that prevents flea tapeworm (Dipylidium caninum) infestations in dogs. (If you live in a rural area, you may also need to protect against hydatid tapeworms.) Ask your vet about the deworming requirements in your area.

Several parasitic worms may not harm your dog, but in large numbers, they can rob them of nutrients and harm their health.  Worm prevention can help keep your dog healthy.

Protect from Mites:

Infestations of demodectic mange caused by Demodex spp., sarcoptic mange caused by Sarcoptes scabiei and ear mite (Otodectes cynotis) are treated and controlled by Nexgard Spectra.

Ingredients

NexGard Spectra contains the following active ingredients: Afoxolaner and Milbemycin Oxime.

Afoxolaner is an ectoparasiticide, meaning it targets external parasites such as fleas, ticks, and mites. It effectively kills fleas before they can lay eggs, helping to reduce contamination of the dog's environment. Afoxolaner is also highly effective against various types of ticks, including paralysis ticks, bush ticks, and brown dog ticks.

Milbemycin Oxime serves as an endo parasiticide, targeting internal parasites such as worms that reside inside dogs. It is effective against different types of worms, including roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. Milbemycin Oxime helps in preventing and controlling these internal parasites in dogs.
Possible Side Effects

NexGard Spectra, like any medication, may have potential side effects. While not all dogs experience them, some possible adverse reactions to NexGard Spectra may include:

Gastrointestinal Disturbances: Common side effects may involve mild digestive issues such as vomiting, diarrhea, or decreased appetite. These symptoms are usually temporary and resolve on their own.

Dermal Reactions: In some cases, dogs may exhibit skin-related reactions like itchiness, redness, or rash. If these symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a veterinarian.

Neurological Effects: Although rare, certain dogs may have neurological symptoms such as tremors, instability, or seizures. If any of these signs occur, immediate veterinary attention is necessary.

It's important to note that these side effects are not exhaustive, and there may be other less common reactions. If you notice any unusual or severe symptoms after administering NexGard Spectra to your dog, it is crucial to contact your veterinarian for guidance and assistance.
