NexGard works quickly, entering the bloodstream within 30 minutes of ingestion. It starts killing fleas within 4 hours and ticks within 12 hours. One study found that afoxolaner kills existing fleas within 2 to 6 hours and maintains an average mortality rate of between 97.6% to 100% for 3 weeks after treatment.

NexGard® (afoxolaner) is vet-recommended for flea and tick protection, and it's easy to see why. Every beef-flavored soft chew is designed to be delicious for dogs and easy to give. In fact, NexGard chews have been shown to be the flea and tick chew that dogs prefer over the competition.

NexGard allergies in dogs occur when dogs have an allergic reaction to or suffer from side-effects of this popular flea and tick treatment. The active ingredient, afoxolaner, may not agree with all dogs that ingest this oral preventative.

These oral medications like Nexgard and Bravecto are convenient but they do not prevent ticks from attaching to your dog. Oral tick control requires the tick to insert its mouthparts in the dog's skin to take a blood meal before it will kill the tick.

It has minimal side effects, and has been shown to be safe at up to 5 times the recommended dose. In a 90-day field study, 415 dogs were administered afoxolaner and no serious adverse reactions were observed with NexGard. The most frequent adverse reaction was vomiting, with 17 dogs experiencing that reaction.
