Comparison: Nexgard vs. Frontline Plus For Flea And Tick Control

 

You probably know how crucial it is to protect your furry friend from ticks and fleas. But with many options, picking the right product to keep these pests away can be overwhelming.

Nexgard and Frontline Plus are well-known and efficient choices for keeping fleas and ticks at bay. Deciding between the two depends on what best suits you and your pet.

Topical Or Chewable?

Choosing between topical and chewable flea and tick control is a big decision. Frontline Plus for cats and dogs is a liquid you apply on their skin, while Nexgard is a chewable tablet your dog can eat. It is important to note that Nexgard is only for dogs; if you need flea and tick control for your cat, Frontline Plus is the way to go.

Each type has its perks. Topical treatments like Frontline Plus are great for cats and older or unwell dogs who might struggle with pills. Conversely, chewables like Nexgard are simple to give, leave no mess, and won't rub off easily, making them hassle-free for families with kids or multiple pets.

Killing Flea Eggs And Larvae

Eliminating flea eggs and larvae is crucial in controlling flea infestations. Frontline Plus targets flea eggs and larvae, while Nexgard focuses on killing newly hatched fleas before they can reproduce.

Frontline Plus gets rid of fleas within 12 hours and ticks within 48 hours after applying it. Nexgard, however, wipes out all fleas within 24 hours of administration.

Other advantages:

Frontline Plus and Nexgard are designed to tackle fleas and ticks each month. However, they have some slight variations.

Mosquitos and other parasites

Frontline Plus offers an extra perk by repelling mosquitoes and controlling biting lice. If you choose NexGard, you can pair it with Heartgard Plus to protect your pet against heartworms and intestinal worms.

Two sweet girlies decided to make our deck their home. Mosquitoes are a big problem where we live and we had to get them protected. This was the best bang for the buck. I’ve ordered from 79Pets several times and while delivery is not fast it is very consistent.

As a retired veterinary technician I was extremely happy to finally see a flea and heartworm medication that actually does tapeworms too!!!!!!! This is a 1st to my knowledge....I live in a tropical climate where fleas never die so this is heaven sent.

After Seresto collars failed to get rid of fleas, I didn't know where to turn. I saw a post on a page I follow (Kentucky Kitty Cats) saying that they use Nexgard Combo for the cats they shelter. I decided to try it and IT WORKS!

This is Lexi Marie! She was wondering why mom was so excited for buying flea medicine. I explained to her that we saved $100 and that she would understand some day when she grows up.

Customer photo review of Revolution Plus For Medium Cats 5.6-11 lbs (2.6-5kg)

Last year, I made a visit to the vet. I told them that Kattie/cat had ear mites. They gave me an ointment costing $80canadian. I used it up and purchased another bottle. $160. total not including the cost of the vet visit. No results. The ear mites have been there for a long time. Canadian vets have control of what is sold in Pet stores and you cannot purchase off the shelf products not recognized by them. I jumped at the chance to purchase your produce with a recommended 100% effectivity. I was willing to try, but was suspicions. After a month there was still a little scratching but after 6 weeks, the mites are gone and the scratching is gone. Thank you very much for this mite solution. I recommend it heartily. Harry P.S. Do not tell the Canadian vets as they will outlaw your product.
