NexGard Chewables For Very Small Dogs 2-4kg Orange

NexGard Chewables for Very Small Dogs is the orange pack in the NexGard range, suitable for very small dogs from 2 to 4 kg in bodyweight, and PeekAPaw stocks it in a 3 chewable pack and a 6 chewable pack. It is a soft, tasty beef-flavoured chew, so it is handed over like a treat and can be given with or without food. Weigh your dog before you choose a pack rather than going by breed: the four NexGard bands sit end to end at 2-4 kg, 4.1-10 kg, 10.1-25 kg and 25.1-50 kg, so a dog at 4.2 kg belongs in the blue pack and not this one. NexGard is for puppies from 8 weeks of age weighing at least 2 kg, which makes this orange pack the entry point to the range. One chew is effective for one month, so the 3 pack covers a quarter and the 6 pack covers half a year. If you are unsure which parasites your dog needs covered where you live, ask your vet.

Directions for use

NexGard is a monthly chew and each chew is effective for one month. Give the pack that matches your dog's bodyweight - NexGard (Orange) is suitable for very small dogs from 2 to 4 kg in bodyweight. It can be given with or without food, and it is not affected by bathing, swimming or shampooing.

Safety

• Safe for puppies from 8 weeks of age and weighing at least 2 kg.
• Safe to use in breeding, pregnant and lactating females.
• To minimise the risk of tick paralysis, it is also important to perform daily searching and removal of ticks.

What NexGard does not cover

NexGard contains afoxolaner and no milbemycin oxime, so it carries no heartworm claim and no intestinal worm claim. It prevents flea tapeworm infestations through its effect on fleas, which is not the same as treating an existing worm burden. If you want heartworm and intestinal worm cover in the same monthly chew, look at NexGard Spectra, and speak to your vet about what your dog needs.
