Ingredients in NexGard PLUS Chews for Dogs 17.1-33 lbs

NexGard PLUS contains three active ingredients that work together to provide full parasite protection:

🔹 Afoxolaner – A powerful isoxazoline-class insecticide, disrupting flea and tick nervous systems, causing rapid death.
🔹 Moxidectin – A macrocyclic lactone that prevents heartworm disease by eliminating immature larvae before they develop.
🔹 Pyrantel Pamoate – An anthelmintic that paralyzes and eliminates roundworms and hookworms, preventing intestinal infections.

Other ingredients include beef flavoring, starches, and stabilizers to maintain the chew’s texture and effectiveness.

NexGard PLUS vs. Regular NexGard – What’s the Difference?

Both NexGard and NexGard PLUS are effective parasite treatments, but NexGard PLUS offers broader protection.

Key Takeaway: If your dog only needs flea and tick protection, regular NexGard may be enough. However, if you want all-in-one parasite prevention, NexGard PLUS is the better choice.

Natural Remedies vs. NexGard PLUS – Are Natural Flea Treatments Effective?

Many pet owners explore natural flea and tick remedies, but are they as effective as NexGard PLUS?

🔸 Essential Oils (Lavender, Cedarwood, Lemongrass) – May repel some fleas but do not kill them or prevent infestations.
🔸 Apple Cider Vinegar – Often used as a flea repellent, but ineffective at eliminating parasites.
🔸 Diatomaceous Earth – Can dry out flea exoskeletons, but does not prevent reinfestation.
🔸 Garlic & Brewer’s Yeast – Commonly claimed to repel fleas, but not scientifically proven and can be toxic in large amounts.

Verdict: While natural remedies may help reduce flea activity, they are not a replacement for a vet-approved treatment like NexGard PLUS, which kills fleas, ticks, and internal parasites effectively.
