Nexgard Combo for Cats is an advanced parasitic treatment, targeting fleas, ticks, heartworms, intestinal worms (including roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms), and ear mites with a single monthly topical application. Safe for kittens as young as 8 weeks old and weighing at least 1.8 pounds, Nexgard Combo provides broad-spectrum protection, ensuring your cat remains free from harmful parasites.
Nexgard Combo for Cats contains the active ingredients esafoxolaner, eprinomectin, and praziquantel, which work by penetrating the skin and entering the bloodstream, killing parasites both internally and externally. These ingredients disrupt the nervous system of parasites, leading to their rapid death and providing long-lasting protection.
Regular administration of Nexgard Combo for Cats ensures that your cat remains healthy, free from the discomfort and potential diseases caused by fleas, ticks, heartworms, and other parasites. Its monthly application reduces the need for frequent treatments, making it a convenient and effective solution for busy pet owners.
