NexGard chewables should only be used to treat dogs.
Frontline Plus is available for both dogs and cats, however Frontline Plus for Dogs must not be used on cats.
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.
Both NexGard and Frontline Plus for Dogs may be used on dogs and puppies as young as 8 weeks of age.
Frontline Plus has the added benefit of eliminating lice infestations and helping to control sarcoptic mange.
