Nexgard is an oral chewable tablet that provides fast-acting, month-long protection against fleas and ticks in dogs. It uses a powerful active ingredient called afoxolaner to kill adult fleas before they can lay eggs, while also targeting four different species of ticks: black-legged ticks (which transmit Lyme disease), American dog ticks, Lone Star ticks, and Brown dog ticks.
