Dog Fleas

Fleas are small insects, orange to brown, wingless, laterally compressed, measuring 3-6 mm in length depending on the species, sex and status of engorgement.

THE FLEA LIFECYCLE: BREAK IT TO GET RID OF FLEAS

It may not be shocking to discover fleas on your dog, but you may be surprised to learn that adult fleas (which are visible) only account for 5% of the total flea population. The remaining 95% of fleas (eggs, larvae, and pupae) can be found in various places in your home, including carpets and bedding. A single female flea can lay up to 50 eggs daily, making it easy for an infestation to develop. NexGard^® and NexGard SPECTRA^®are effective at rapidly killing adult fleas before they have a chance to lay eggs, safeguarding your dog and its surroundings.

UNDERSTANDING THE THREAT

Ensuring the protection of your beloved dog against ticks and fleas should be your top priority. Give your dog NexGard^® or Nexgard SPECTRA^® monthly to provide them with the necessary protection against these harmful parasites.
