NexGard SPECTRA Chewable Tablets for Dogs (7.6–15 kg)Ensure your dog receives complete parasite protection with NexGard SPECTRA Chewable Tablets, a vet-recommended solution designed for dogs weighing between 7.6 and 15 kg. This pack contains 1 chewable tablet, combining two powerful active ingredients—Afoxolaner and Milbemycin Oxime—to provide broad-spectrum protection against fleas, ticks, heartworm, and intestinal worms. Manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim, NexGard SPECTRA is a trusted choice for pet owners seeking an all-in-one parasite control solution in a convenient, palatable form.How NexGard SPECTRA WorksNexGard SPECTRA combines two active ingredients to target a wide range of parasites:Afoxolaner: An isoxazoline-class insecticide and acaricide that targets the nervous system of fleas and ticks. After ingestion, Afoxolaner is absorbed into your dog’s bloodstream. When fleas or ticks bite, they ingest Afoxolaner, which overstimulates their nervous system, causing rapid paralysis and death.Milbemycin Oxime: A macrocyclic lactone that targets heartworm larvae and intestinal worms by interfering with their nerve transmission, leading to paralysis and death of the parasites.This dual-action formula ensures:Flea Control: Kills adult fleas (Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis) before they can lay eggs, breaking the flea life cycle.Tick Control: Kills ticks (including Dermacentor reticulatus, Ixodes ricinus, and Rhipicephalus sanguineus) within 48 hours, reducing the risk of tick-borne diseases.Heartworm Prevention: Prevents heartworm disease (Dirofilaria immitis) by eliminating heartworm larvae.Intestinal Worm Control: Treats and controls roundworms (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina), hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum, Ancylostoma braziliense, Ancylostoma ceylanicum), and whipworms (Trichuris vulpis).Month-Long Protection: Each tablet provides 30 days of comprehensive parasite protection.Key BenefitsBroad-Spectrum Parasite Protection: Protects against fleas, ticks, heartworm, and intestinal worms in one convenient tablet.Fast-Acting Flea and Tick Control: Kills fleas within 8 hours and ticks within 48 hours, providing quick relief from infestations.Prevents Heartworm Disease: Eliminates heartworm larvae, protecting your dog from this potentially fatal condition.Controls Intestinal Worms: Treats and controls common intestinal parasites, supporting your dog’s overall health.Prevents Flea Infestations: Kills fleas before they can lay eggs, helping to prevent re-infestation and keeping your home flea-free.Reduces Risk of Tick-Borne Diseases: Effective against multiple tick species, lowering the risk of diseases like Lyme disease or babesiosis.Palatable Chewable Tablet: The beef-flavored chew is highly palatable, making it easy to administer—most dogs will eat it as a treat.Safe for Dogs: Suitable for dogs weighing 7.6–15 kg and at least 8 weeks of age, with a well-established safety profile when used as directed.Convenient Monthly Dosing: One tablet per month provides consistent, all-in-one protection, simplifying your pet care routine.Dosage and AdministrationNexGard SPECTRA is designed for dogs weighing between 7.6 and 15 kg.
