  • Medication that 'treats' my dog!

    NexGard SPECTRA is so tasty for dogs they think they’re getting a treat! My dog didn’t even hesitate in trying it for the first time. I have tried other brands with traditional tablets that can be really hard getting a dog to swallow, but NexGard is so easy! The best thing is that it’s a one stop shop treating fleas, ticks and worms. No other treatments necessary and I only have to do it once a month!

  • Only brand we trust!

    NexGard SPECTRA was recommended by both our vet, puppy school and groomer as it not only protects against fleas and ticks but heart worm also. Spencer absolutely loves taking his tablet each month and has done so since he was a puppy. I love that I have peace of mind that he is protected.

  • Peace of mind monthly protection

    My dog loved the NexGard SPECTRA Chewable, she gobbled it right down. It is so much easier and quicker to use than the liquid formulations which can splatter, potentially reducing their efficacy. In addition, NexGard SPECTRA offers a wide range of protection against fleas, ticks, mites, heartworm and worms. This is so important as not all products offer protection against all of these parasites. The chew makes me feel confident that my dog is protected against all the main parasites, and she loves it as well!

    Love that it covers everything and we only have to give it to her once a month. Even better that it’s chewable and she eats it straight out of your hand. Will definitely be purchasing the bigger pack once she is fully grown. Would highly recommend NexGard SPECTRA to everyone.

  • Best Parasite protection on the market!

    My picky dog loves these chews! They are small and easy to digest. A bonus that they don’t need to be consumed alongside food and are safe for pregnant and lactating dogs. I love that they combine tick, flea and worm treatment, as well as heartworms, unlike many other products.

  • Ate straight away

    My dog, Tilly, ate this chew straight away, instead of other brands. She used to play with it for hours, and it was a struggle actually getting her to have it. Now, no problems, not wanting to play. Yay

    Normally it is tricky to get my dog to take any type of medication, having to cover/hide it in other food however not with NexGard SPECTRA Chewables. She took it straight away and it didn’t need to be disguised in other food. I feel good knowing she is protected. Will definitely be purchasing this moving forward.
