How Soon Does NexGard Kill Fleas?
When used on a regular basis, NexGard kills fleas in as little as four hours. This is because it breaks the life cycle of fleas and kills them before they can lay their eggs. In most cases, the flea infestation will be gone within two or three months of treatment, although it can take longer depending on environmental factors.
Nexgard has no harmful side effects in humans and is safe for dogs and puppies over 4 pounds. However, it must be administered by a veterinarian, and the drug is not recommended for use on small dogs. If you have a pet with epilepsy, consult your veterinarian before using Nexgard on your dog.
NexGard is an oral medication that kills fleas and ticks for up to one month. The medication can be used on puppies over two kilograms in weight and has been approved in the EU for the treatment of canine mange, but it has not been approved for use in the USA. Because of its high effectiveness in controlling flea and tick infestations, NexGard is an ideal choice for puppies and older dogs.
NexGard kills both adult and larval fleas. The active ingredient in the product is afoxolaner, which blocks the parasite’s nerve cells and causes paralysis. The drug is effective against demodectic and sarcoptic mange.
