Nexgard Spectra is a beef-flavored chewable that is highly effective in treating fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms in dogs. Oral treatment is for the prevention of heartworm disease. Nexgard Spectra controls tick infestation for four weeks and flea infestation in dogs for five weeks.
The one single-flavored chew treats gastrointestinal adult nematodes of the species: hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms. The oral treatment is also effective against sarcoptic mange (caused by Sarcoptes scabiei), mites controlling demodectic mange (caused by Demodex spp.), and otodectic mange (caused by Otodectes cynotis). In addition, it lowers the risk of flea tapeworms.
