NexGard Spectra is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic medication for dogs 8 weeks of age and older that is effective against both external (ticks, fleas) and internal parasites. The active ingredients are afoxolaner and milbemycin oxime. The chewable tablets are dosed according to your dog’s weight.
The veterinarian selects the right tablet dose based on your dog's weight and health status – we weigh your dog at the clinic.

Book online, call us, or stop by our clinic in Vilnius, Širvintos or Panevėžys.
We weigh your dog and select the right tablet strength.
We'll explain how to give the tablet with food and how often to repeat the dose.
We'll tell you when the tablet needs repeating after 4 weeks.
Important when using: the NexGard Spectra tablet is given together with food, which helps the active ingredients be absorbed properly. Dogs are most likely to eat the full dose when the tablet is given before their main meal.
NexGard Spectra comes in five strengths according to your dog’s weight: 2–3.5 kg, 3.5–7.5 kg, 7.5–15 kg, 15–30 kg and 30–60 kg. The right tablet is selected based on your dog’s exact weight.
Age Tablets can be given to puppies from 8 weeks of age, provided they weigh at least 2 kg. Younger or smaller puppies are assessed individually by the veterinarian.
Dosage We weigh your dog at the clinic and select the right tablet strength – the dose is always accurate.
If your dog vomited the tablet within the first two hours, the active ingredients probably weren’t absorbed and the dose may need repeating. If more time has passed, the product has usually already taken effect. Either way, consult your veterinarian before giving a second tablet – don’t double the dose on your own.
NexGard Spectra starts killing fleas within a few hours and ticks within 24 hours of administration. It works against internal parasites with the same dose. Full protection lasts 4 weeks, so the tablet needs repeating monthly.
NexGard Spectra treats roundworms but not tapeworms. Broader coverage is usually needed before annual vaccination, so your veterinarian may prescribe an additional product. Mention that you’re planning vaccinations when you book – we’ll coordinate both in a single visit.
NexGard Spectra must not be given to dogs with known hypersensitivity to afoxolaner, milbemycin oxime or any other ingredient. Treatment of puppies younger than 8 weeks or weighing less than 2 kg is assessed individually by the veterinarian. The product is for dogs only – it must not be given to cats.
NexGard Spectra works against ticks, fleas, ear mites, chewing lice and the skin parasites that cause demodicosis and sarcoptic mange. Among internal parasites, it treats roundworms and is used for heartworm prevention.
