NexGard Chewables Green (10.1-25kg)

My dog thinks his monthly chewable is a treat! – We've given our Mini American Shepherd Nexgard since he was a puppy. Never had any adverse reactions. He's now 1 year and 3 months old and still loving his Nexgard. We've never seen a flea or tick on our guy except for the one month that I didn't give him his Nexgard. It was winter, and thought I could get away it. But near the end of the month with no meds we found a deer tick. So, he's on it year round now, with no breaks in the cycle. And our home and puppy are totally bug free. And the bonus is that he loves taking his medicine!

Dogs hate it – My dog will not take them. And when you email the company and ask them about this they say all dogs like them. Oh and can not hide it in food, there that bad he spits them out. Show details

Use comes at a risk that has to be evaluated. I Would say don’t take the risk – French Bull dog 7 years old fit and healthy came down with severe vomiting and no interest in food. Went on for a week before we took him to vets, second visit anti sickness injection. vomiting subsided but still not much interest in food also booked in for a scan. As we was despairing with the state of our once chunky frenchie reduced to skin… Read more

and bone we started backtracking on what he might of eaten or where he’s been. 2 weeks ago he was wormed and the vet changed his spot on flea to a tablet. This was the only variable over the last weeks so read the paperwork given with the tablets. All the symptoms and worse luckily we realised before we gave him the second. This medication should be banned, there is a much safer alternative so why run unnecessary risks. Hopefully he will pull through but it has knocked him for six. There is a petition to get this banned on the change website I will be signing I suggest others do the same. DO NOT USE THIS MEDICATION it’s a lottery.

Works great – I don’t know why everyone is complaining. All flea and tick treatments are poison, because they kill fleas and ticks. My dog is 11kg and has no problem eating these, and has no reaction. There is a possibility of a bad reaction with any medication, so why this one is getting so much slack, I don’t know. But it works perfectly for my dog

Very happy with NexGard Chewables – My 2 year old Dingo cross breed really enjoys her NexGard monthly. She stands on her hind paws in anticipation of that delicious medicated chew. We travel throughout Australia together extensively and have had no problems with Fleas or Ticks the whole time we've used NexGard. I don't understand how other people have had so many problems with this product, as far as I'm concerned it is the best and safest method for controlling fleas and ticks.

Works great! – Gave to my Yorkie, Beagle and English Bulldog which means I got the green, orange and red, three month treatment... no side effects and no more fleas!

Not a flea repellent!!! – Gave my dog his Nexgard pill on 7/9/22. On 7/21/22 noticed many fleas on him. Stunned for sure. Especially since he was treated earlier in the month. He is allergic to flea bites and he has been itching himself. I thought maybe dry skin. Called Nexgard and rep stated their product does Not repel fleas. The flea has to bite the dog and then will die in 4-8 hours. Definitely will NO LONGER use Nexgard on my dogs!!!!!!!! Show details

DO NOT give NexGard to your dog – My poor dog has been non-stop vomiting up bile, has been super lethargic and will not move. This is now the 3rd day he has not eaten. My poor darling has now lost about 6kgs and can see every bone in his body. His back legs also went stiff for a day or two. He is now at the vet getting several tests and is on a drip. We have no idea when he is coming home. The vet said they will keep him until they get his appetite back.

Bad Medicine – NexGard gave my elderly pug severe diarrhea and vomiting. I didn’t realize it was the medication at first as the vet saw her and put her on antibiotics, even though her stool cultures were normal. The next month she took it again and two days later severe diarrhea once again. I will never use this produce again. Show details

nearly killed her. caused paralysis and neurological dysfunction – each monthly treatment she ended up at the vet. I didn't make the connection until a friend's dog had same symptoms and I checked the dates. it correlated !stumbling, back leg paralysis, cant eat or drink. 3rd dose she couldn't even stand and I carried her for days. Show details

NexGard is poison; do NOT give this to your pet! – Our veterinarian assured us this medication was safe but within a couple of days our German Wirehaired Pointer, Berta, became extremely ill from just the first dose of NexGard. She experienced vomiting and bloody stools but was fortunate to survive. Time will tell what the long-term effects will be but I will never again take the veterinarians word again on ANY medication without further research. Show details

Tried twice, SEVERE SIDE EFFECTS – Gave my dog (a xolo) NexGard Spectra twice. First time, a full chewable. My dog was vomiting with bile for a about 5 days, and had severe diarrhea with mucus and blood. I had to give him Smecta to stop it. This time, I tried to give him 1/2 of a chewable, and again, he's been vomiting with bile for the past 3 days, having diarrhea, and his skin… Read more

broke out with hives. Perfectly healthy and happy dog right before taking this poison. I wish I saw these reviews earlier, I can't imagine what kind of crooks can allow this on the market as "medicine". MUST BE AVOIDED.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! – How on earth is this available on shelves? It is honestly poison. I gave it to my 7 month old corgi and he has had serious vomiting and diarreha for 24 hours. We went to the emergency vets to get medications and seems to be doing okay now. I was recommended this by staff at Best Friends and I wish I never listened to them. After speaking to the… Read more

breeder she said nexguard is horrible and she knows other dogs who have also had reactions. Stay clear at all costs!

Dog got lethargic and hair loss – Gave NexGard a try because several people told me they used it on their dogs and had no problems. She hasn't had any severe problems, but she was very lethargic for 5 days and I noticed that clumps of hair started coming out on her back end. After reading all the terrible reviews and reactions on this site and others I decided to detox her. I now have her on Milk Thistle and Turmeric to detox her liver. I will never use this product again. Show details

Administering the product – I am having progressively trouble giving my 4 small dogs ( 4 different breeds) their Nexguard. I have tried many ways to administer these chewables ( they no longer will take straight chewable by itself). I try to disguise with meat, chicken, peanut butter but they will spit the med out of their mouths. I have been giving or trying to give them… Read more

this product for over 4 years and their reluctance to take this product just keeps getting more difficult. It saddens me, it costs me a lot of wasted money for this product. I want my pets to be more receptive to your product, but I am just not making stride with administering this product.

Healthy 3 yr old purebred g shepherd sick on 1st dose – My dog ate well. She never had a sick day. I was giving her Bravecto, but had some concern because it is in the system so long, so I gave away three doses and bought Nexgard from my vet. She quickly stopped eating, which was one of her favorite things. She was lethargic, but still took her role as family protector seriously, so she dragged around… Read more

as we tried to find food she would eat; it’s down to dog cookies and low-salt ham, but not too much. Thank God the only had one dose and she doesn’t seem to be in pain. She loves Heartgard and it has never bothered her. I hope this poison gets out of her system soon, so she can pop comfortably and enjoy her food once more. She may never again be the outstanding athlete she was, but happy and normal give me joy. It only took a day or two to make her sick. It’s like fenfen in humans. Immediate symptoms and lifetime suffering or death.

Nexgard KILLED our puppy! – Nexgard gave our dog seizures. No treatment was able to stop the seizures and our puppy died from a seizure a day before his second birthday. This is poison and should be banned!  Show details

If I could give zero I would, it’s poison! – Gave Nexguard to my pup with dinner, next morning she couldn’t move and spent a week at the vet- vomiting, bloody runny stools, lethargy, foaming, temperature, not eating, panting...still has relapses. It’s POISON!  Show details

Really not recommended – I gave Nexgard Spectra my 12 week old puppy (mastiff) on recommendation of my vet. I had 2 large breed dogs (mastiffs) and 2 working dogs (kelpies) before and always used different reputable products with no serious concerns. There will always be some side effects following worming products regardless of which product you use. BUT Nexgard really… Read more

scared me. The very first time we gave our puppy the other product as we used to - no issues. When the vet gave the first dose of Nexgard to him during his vaccination visit, he vomitted a lot and had diarrhoea for a week. When we had to re-worm him (at a vet-agreed timepoint) he absolutely was off his face pretty much immediately following the intake. He had excessive diarrhoea for a very long time - days on end, he was whining a lot in pain (as a dog owner you know and hear the difference), he was lethargic, he was scratching himself, he slept a lot compared to before, he scratched his butt on the floor a lot and his glands were swollen. His entire immune system went through a massive shut down. He had yellow snot constantly. Plus his personality really changed. Owning many dogs before and expecting some side effects from vaccinations/worming tablets/tick and flea applications, this definitely was on a different level. While some products might claim to treat multiple indications at the same time and may save you money as it is a convenient product, there are other products on the market which are as effective but seemingly less "invasive" to the system. I honestly would not recommend it.

My dog is lethargic and weak several hours, after taking the Nexguard – My dog was fine this morning, until after he ate his food... which contained the Nexguard chewable. A few hours later, he wouldn't come down the steps to go outside. I went up to check on him and he was shaking and his nose was dripping. He could barely walk! The vet thought it must be an adverse reaction to the Nexguard, since he was well, prior… Read more

to taking it. I have been sitting with him, all day and finally got him to relax enough to lay down. Sadly, my dog already has a tick disease... I will not be using this product again!

NexGard Spectra Medium side effects – A month ago we gave our 6 months beagle another dose of Nexgard and within 3 days she developed weakness in her whole body, no appetite, hardly could walk or bend to eat from her bowl, didn't drink at all. Went to the vet, was diagnosed with beagle pain syndrome. She is on steroids at the moment, but I doubt giving her another dose of Nexgard. I… Read more

am sure now that it was a side effect of Nexgard, because she got sick almost the next day she had Nexgard. Please recommend what is safe for our dogs?

Beware: made my dog sick – My dog Vomited multiple times after taking the tablet, gave it to her again the day after and the same thing happened. I would avoid giving this product to your pets!!! Show details

Does not work, made my dog sick – We moved into a new house and there were fleas in the carpet. I purchased Nexguard from City Farmers for over $60. The " chewable" tablet crumbled everywhere when I opened it. The next 2 days my dog wouldnt eat or drink or move from his bed. His heart was racing and he was shallow breathing. I do not recommend this product. One week later and my dog still has fleas. Show details

Missing produce – Opened a box of 3 that wash purchased from the vet, only to find 1 chewable in package. Perfectly sealed box. After reading reviews and the fact i can't even give both my dogs one each. Show details

Diarrhea for days! – Perfectly healthy 8 month old puppy, running around happy in the morning, had the nextguard at midday. Horrible horrible diarrhea for the next 48 hours, he was dehydrated, and lethargic. Passed loose watery stools every hour for the first 12 hours, then every 2-3 hours for the next 24hours. No sleep for puppy or owner. Very scary. Would NOT recommend. This was his third dose. Have since ceased using this product. Show details

My dog extremely Sick after first time – Within 2 weeks after giving my schauezner she started throwing up, having seizures, not eating..Very lethargic, and spotting blood..This dog was completely healthy until i gave her nextgard...Im very scared Im going lose her..Its totally poisoned her Show details

My 4 months old puppy is having a neurological reaction!!! – My vet recommended Nexgard for a preventative for my 4 months old American Bully mix. After a few days I started noticing he was really clumsy. He went into his kennel and started trying to catch his balance and was stumbling over his toy. He finally fell on his side. It was super bizarre to me. After that I noticed he was having horrible… Read more

diarrhea. His hind legs are super weak he’s having a hard time getting into a standing position. He’s been hiding in my room, laying down all day long. I can hardly get him to stand up and walk. He keeps tilting his head to one side. He walks like he’s drunk and staggers around. It’s extremely scary to see him acting this way. He was a totally normal energetic puppy running and playing just a week and a half ago. To now extremely lethargic. Luckily he still has some spunk in him and wants to play when he sees another dog. But he just falls over. He still has his appetite and will gobble down his food. So I’m hopeful that he will recover. I have an appointment with the vet tomorrow morning. I’ll update when I can.
