Discover Nexgard Spectra’s parasite protection for cats and dogs
Explore the Nexgard Spectra NZ collection, right here at Petstock! New Zealand cats & dogs are adventurous. Gardens, parks, beaches and bush - our pets love them all. But unfortunately, so do all the parasites that like to make a home in and on them. With Nexgard Spectra, you can have peace of mind, knowing your pet will be protected from these pesky parasites, including ticks, worms and fleas.
Nexgard Spectra Spot-On Solutions for Cats is a liquid containing three active ingredients, applied in one spot on the cat’s neck, to kill worms and ear mites, and provide month long protection against fleas and ticks.
Nexgard Spectra Chewable Treatment for Dogs is the only product that protects against the four main parasite groups (fleas, intestinal worms, ticks and mites) in one tasty chew.
Do indoor cats need to be treated for parasites?
Yes, all cats need protecting because some parasites are very good at hitching a ride into your home on other animals or people.
What age does my pet need to use Nexgard Spectra?
Nexgard Spectra is safe for dogs and cats starting from 8 weeks of age, provided your dog weighs at least 2kg, and your cat at least 0.8kg.
How often do I need to treat my pets?
Most Nexgard Spectra products should be applied monthly for optimal protection from ticks, worms and fleas, but always read the application instructions on individual treatments.
How long after administering it can my dog be bathed or go swimming?
Your dog can be bathed or go swimming immediately after treatment. Unlike some topical formulations or collars, Nexgard Spectra is not affected by bathing, swimming or shampooing.
What is the difference between Nexgard and Nexgard SPECTRA?
The main difference is the level of protection. NexGard (Standard) is a specialist treatment that focuses on killing fleas and ticks. NexGard Spectra is an "all-in-one" solution that does everything the standard version does, plus it protects against heartworm and intestinal worms (like roundworm, hookworm, and whipworm). Please refer to the comparison table below for a full breakdown of the features and coverage.
