NexGard vs Trifexis

Compare NexGard Chewables to Trifexis Tablets

When deciding on a flea treatment for your dogs, you may wish to consider if you also need protection from ticks or other parasites.

NexGard is a popular monthly flea treatment that is administered as a flavored chewable. It kills adult fleas and ticks on your dog, and controls against reinfestation by preventing adult fleas form laying eggs.

Trifexis tablets provide month-long protection against fleas, but also prevent heartworm, roundworm, hookworm and whipworm, and eliminate chewing lice. Trifexis does not kill ticks.

NexGard may be given to dogs and puppies from 8 weeks of age, with a minimum body weight of 4 lbs (2 kg).Trifexis is safe for use in dogs and puppies at least 8 weeks of age, weighing 5 lbs (2.3kg) minimum.
