Comparison between Nexgard and Trifexis
When starting any flea treatment for your dog, consider protecting your dog from ticks or other parasites.
Nexgard is a famous flea treatment that needs to be administered monthly and comes in flavored chewables. It also kills adult ticks and fleas on your dogs and controls reinfestation by preventing adult fleas from laying eggs.
Trifexis tables protect your dog from fleas for the entire month, prevent heartworm, hookworm, whipworm, and roundworm, and eliminate chewing lice. But, unfortunately, Trifexis doesn't kill ticks.
Nexgard is safe to use at the age of eight weeks with and minimum weight of 4 lbs (2 kg). Trifexis is safe for puppies and dogs at the age of eight weeks and has a minimum body weight of 5 lbs (2.3 kg).
Please choose the correct size according to your pet's body weight.
