Product Details
Broad-Spectrum Parasite Protection for Cats
NexGard COMBO is an all-in one spot-on solution for cats containing esafoxolaner, eprinomectin and praziquantel. It is for the treatment of fleas, ticks, ear mites, roundworms and tapeworms. It also treats notoedric mange, feline lungworm and vesical worms, and prevents feline heartworm disease.
- It is safe and effective coverage for kittens from just 8 weeks of age and 0.8 kg.
- Formulated with topical praziquantel, it effectively treats tapeworms through the skin, completely eliminating the stress of forcing oral pills.
- It comes with a professional syringe applicator that ensures a precise, comfortable dose applied directly to the skin at the back of the neck.
-
By targeting external pests and internal worms simultaneously, it effectively stops the complete parasite life cycle in your home.
Monthly Convenience: This all-in-one, once-a-month spot-on replaces multiple products, radically simplifying your cat’s ongoing healthcare routine.
Each pack contains 3 doses.
Disclaimer: This product can only be supplied with a valid prescription. For further information about using NexGard® COMBO see the package leaflet or contact your vet.
Instructions
Speak with your veterinarian before use and review the datasheet for safe administration.
To apply, pull back the plunger moderately (approximately 1 cm), taking care not to remove the plunger, then twist and pull off the cap. Part the fur in the middle of the neck between the base of the skull and the shoulder blades until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the applicator on the skin (not the fur) and slowly apply the entire contents directly onto the skin in one spot. Wash hands after use.
Apply NexGard® COMBO onto dry skin where the cat cannot lick it off. In long-haired breeds, special attention should be paid to apply NexGard® COMBO onto the skin and not the fur. Ensure the treated area is no longer noticeable before resuming contact with the site of application. Children should not play with treated animals until the application site is no longer visible.
It is recommended to treat animals in the evening to reduce contact. Recently treated cats should not sleep in the same bed as their owners, especially children.
For further information please read the package leaflet.
