  • NexGard SPECTRA loved by our doggy

    The NexGard SPECTRA tasty, beefy chewable tablet has become our new favourite monthly parasite protection for our doggy Lola. We had not found another brand that she enjoyed like this one and it had always been a struggle to get her to eat it. Now that we’ve had the favourable experience of giving her something she loves, we’re sticking to it! Lola’s happy and we have peace of mind that she’s protected.

  • Easy, tasty, reassuring chews

    We received one of these chews to give to our dog Darcy and he absolutely loved it!
    We decided to purchase nexgard spectra for our other three dogs, Charlie, Molly and Bert.
    They all absolutely loved the chews and it was so simple and easy to purchase and feed to them.
    Simply purchase the right weight for your dog and give them one chew every month!
    They are the best cover from fleas, ticks and heartworms and it’s reassuring to know that all 4 of our pups are now protected

  • Both Dogs Approve

    So we originally trialled this with our older dog, 9yo Staffy and she ate it out of my hand like a treat. We were really impressed so we thought to try with our 6yo Staffy, who is generally quite fussy and spits any pill/bite type thing out. He was just as impressed and loved it. I am impressed and will continue buying, its so worth it for the effort we usually have to go to!

  • Success with our second pooch

    We tried this with our youngest sausage dog, and he ate it up in a second with no persuasion needed, so of course we had to try it with our other (older) sausage. The same experience, we offered him the NexGard SPECTRA and he chewed it up straight away. Such an easy way to treat our pups monthly, we will repurchase!

  • So happy with this product

    I cant believe how easily my dogs took these. I didn’t have to hide them and no side effects or sore tummy. I am at ease and love the convenience that this chew covers their worming, fleas and ticks. I have already purchased a 6 pack.

  • Bought for my other dog!

    We loved it so much we bought some for our other dog! She’s quite fussy but she still ate it with no fuss so I am very happy! Definitely will continue buying NexGard SPECTRA

  • Still a huge success

    Have tried this again since our initial try and my dog still hawked it down like a delicious dessert! She didn’t even hesitate to gobble it up without a second thought. Such an easy way to ensure protection from worms and fleas and ticks. Will continue to use. Its affordable, costing $100ish for 6 tablets. $100 for 6 months is decent in my opinion

  • Leo the poodle loves NexGard SPECTRA Chewables

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    I recently tried NexGard SPECTRA Chewables for Dogs (3.6 – 7.5 kg) for my chocolate toy poodle Leo, and I couldn’t be happier! Leo loved it — he sat down and ate it like a treat with no hesitation. I really appreciate how comprehensive the protection is, covering fleas, ticks, mange, mites, heartworm, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, flea tapeworm infestations, and even helping with flea allergy dermatitis — which is perfect as Leo has sensitive skin, especially around his ears. The only small downside is that I wish it lasted longer than a month. But overall, it gives me great peace of mind knowing he’s fully protected. Highly recommend!

  • Got my Brother's dogs onto this now too.

    Tried this last week with the sample sent out and reported that our doggo gobbled it down. Thought I’d let you know I mentioned this to my brother and he went and bought for his little princess pug. She woofed it down without a second glance and that is saying something. She’s so picky you wouldn’t think she was a dog. Stuff like this can be a pain if the dog doesn’t eat it and I have been known to just pay it off if it’s too hard. So good job Nexgard SPECTRA – we know that they’ve had the proper dose and don’t need to think twice.

  • Great monthly chews

    We have since switched to these NexGard SPECTRA for Dogs monthly chews for my Cavoodle. They are convenient and effective, and my dog enjoys the taste and eats the whole chew without any problems. I have also noticed that she has less tummy issues since we’ve made this switch! I have purchased the 6 pack of chews which is good value and it’s great that this product has the most comprehensive and reliable parasite protection.

  • So easy

    I have actually bought this again and recommended to my neighbour with a fussy pooch as my dog loved the taste! A great product at a reasonable price. My big girl doesn’t love every chew but this was fabulous!

  • Making the routine easy

    Our 3 year old Doug found the tablets to be no bother, we often have to wrap others in food but these must have played to his taste buds as he chewed it down with ease. Great having the cork for he is covered from all the nasties. And great to add into the normal routine.

  • Great protection

    This is one of the best products you can give your dog, it protects them and its very easy to give to your beloved dog, and you know you won’t need to worry because they will be protected until you give them anyone. Would strongly recommend this product to all.

    And the bonus we havent had the scratching she gets on other chewables
    Thankyou NexGard SPECTRA!!!

  • Our other doggy loved NexGard SPECTRA too!

    Thanks again to Best Pet Buys for introducing us to this chewable. After the success trying this product with our older dog, we bought this for our younger dog (a Spoodle). Glad to report we had the same success as we did first time around. She didn’t hesitate for a second – ate the chew from my hand and gobbled it down quickly. Have added this to our monthly order with Pet Barn for both doggies. Loved this trial – such a great way to discover new products. Thanks!

  • Peace of mind for my fur baby

    Monthly treatment and care is really important to me for my pets. I make sure It is always noted on my calendar to stay on top of it.
    I like the packaging and information it provides with easy to understand what NexGard SPECTRA chews cover for treatment. My dog sat like the good boy he is for his monthly chew, easily mistaking it for his regular treats.
