Giving the NexGard dosage earlier usually does not have a negative impact on most dogs. But, it is best to consult your veterinarian before administering an early dose.
The safe use of NexGard Chewables has not been evaluated in pregnant, breeding, or lactating dogs. Consult your veterinarian before using NexGard in such pets.
If your dog vomits within two hours of the dosage administration or if you suspect that any of the NexGard dose is lost, re-dose with another full dose. Consult a veterinarian for further guidance.

Nothing comes close to the delicious taste of Nexgard. If dosing for flea & tick protection is a problem, Nexgard is the solution. The palatable beef flavor entices even the fussiest dogs to accept the treatment. It can be given with or without food.
Nexgard means quicker parasite killing, broader coverage and extended protection. Get fast and lasting flea and tick control on dogs with Nexgard chews. Various clinical trials confirm Nexgard delivers the parasite control you want:
Nexgard is approved for preventing Borrelia burgdorferi infections - the bacterium responsible for causing Lyme disease - due to the direct result of killing Black-legged ticks (Deer ticks)
Nexgard-Chews are more than just a flea and tick dog treatment. Here's what makes it the popular choice among dog parents:
Soft texture and delicious beef flavor dogs love
Kills fleas before they can lay eggs & prevents flea infestations
Treats & controls infestations of as many as 4 tick species
Approved by FDA to prevent Lyme disease
Suitable for puppies from 8 weeks
Nexgard-Chews begin killing fleas within four hours after administration and are known to achieve more than 99% efficacy at eight hours.
After administration, the active component of Nexgard, afoxolaner, is quickly absorbed into the dog's bloodstream. As soon as fleas and ticks take the bloodmeal from the Nexgard-treated dog, they ingest afoxolaner which causes hyperexcitation in the parasites' nervous system and kills them.
Nexgard-Chews should only be used on dogs. It is not recommended for use on cats or other animals.
A field study revealed no adverse reactions of Nexgard chews' concomitant use with other treatments including vaccines, antibiotics (including topicals), NSAIDS, anthelmintics, steroids, anesthetics, and antihistamines.
If the dog vomits within two hours of administering Nexgard, give another full dose. If vomiting occurs after two or more hours, it is likely the dosage has been absorbed.
The fleas you see are probably new fleas that attach to your pet. They are likely to get killed by Nexgard before they begin laying eggs. To protect your dog from new flea infestations, continue treating them with Nexgard throughout the year without interruption.
