I love how easy it is to protect my dog from fleas and ticks with these chewable tablets. They work fast and keep the pests away for a long time.
Fleas used to be a constant problem for us, especially during the warmer months. Since starting this medication, I haven’t seen a single flea on my dog, and he’s much more comfortable.
Nexgard’s effectiveness against multiple parasites is impressive. It’s great to have comprehensive protection in one tablet.
I’m based in the United States, and this chewable flea prevention has worked wonders for my dog.
In New Zealand, fleas can be a real problem, but this product has kept my dog free from them since we started using it.
