Nexgard Spectra
COMMON PET PARASITES: They’re small, discrete and are experts at avoiding detection. But look closely and you may find parasites hiding on your dog or cat. External parasites like fleas, ticks and mites can be found hiding in your pet’s coat, or living on or in their skin, while internal parasites like heartworm and intestinal worms live inside their body. Whether internal or external, these parasites can all cause disease. That’s why you need to keep your pet protected, inside and out.
We’ve made parasite protection easy! With NexGard SPECTRA® for Dogs, your dog will receive the most complete protection against fleas, ticks, mites, heartworm and intestinal worms, all in one tasty chew. Dogs love the beef-flavoured chews, with 100% of owners saying NexGard SPECTRA was easy to give to their dog (1).
