NexGard Spectra is an upgraded formula of the original NexGard, which controls tick and flea infestations on dogs. NexGard Spectra protects your pet against heartworms and other intestinal parasites.
This means that with the administration of a single monthly chewable you can: kill fleas, kill ticks (including Rocky Mountain wood tick, brown dog tick), prevent the development of heartworm, and control roundworms, hookworms and whipworms.
As with all heartworm treatments, this is a preventative measure and it is important that your dog is first tested for existing heartworm.
