NexGard contains afoxolaner, which is rapidly absorbed into your dog’s bloodstream after oral administration. When fleas or ticks bite your dog, they ingest afoxolaner, which disrupts the parasites’ nervous system, causing hyperexcitation followed by death.
This targeted action:
- Kills fleas rapidly
- Controls tick infestations
- Reduces environmental flea contamination by stopping egg production
