NexGard chewables should only be used to treat dogs. NexGard breaks the breeding cycle by killing fleas before they can lay eggs, while Frontline Plus kills fleas at all life stages: adult, egg, larva and pupa. Frontline Plus has the added benefit of eliminating lice infestations and helping to control sarcoptic mange. Both NexGard and Frontline Plus for Dogs may be used on dogs and puppies as young as 8 weeks of age. Frontline Plus for Dogs must not be used on cats.

Nexgard and Frontline Plus are the most sought-after products for flea and tick treatments. However, the efficacy of both products is a debatable question among pet owners. Frontline Plus is topical so the chemicals stay on the skin and its layer and don’t enter the bloodstream whereas Nexgard ingredients traverse the bloodstream. It completely depends on the requirement as per the need for the results. You must know which ticks have infested your pet. Your decision must be based on these factors rather than simply relying on the marketing gimmicks that entice you to purchase their products. Well, the truth is both are equally good. The solution lies in your pet’s requirements and preferences.
