How do NexGard Spectra Chews work?
NexGard Spectra contains two active ingredients: Afoxolaner and milbemycin oxime. They are absorbed into the bloodstream and, upon ingestion by parasites, the ingredients over-stimulate their nervous system, resulting in uncontrolled activity and death of parasites. Following administration of NexGard Spectra Chews, fleas are killed within 6-8 hours. With NexGard Spectra, your dog also gets quicker relief from other parasite infestations.
