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.
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.
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.

Large Cats: For cats weighing 2.5 kg to 7.5 kg.
(For cats over 7.5 kg, the clinical recommendation is usually an appropriate combination of applicators).

Yes. POM-V items require a valid prescription from your UK vet.
Upload your prescription during checkout.
Photos must be clear. If details are wrong or expired, orders can’t be processed. This is standard across UK pet pharmacies.
No. Under UK law, vets must provide a written prescription if you request one for a POM-V medicine. They may charge a reasonable fee for issuing it, but they cannot refuse. This allows you to choose where to buy your pet’s medication, whether directly from your vet or from a registered UK pharmacy such as Ashcroft 4 Pets.
In the UK, most POM-V prescriptions are valid for 6 months, unless your vet specifies a shorter duration. Prescriptions for Schedule 2 or 3 controlled medicines are usually valid for 28 days and are not repeatable. At Ashcroft 4 Pets, we follow these same UK veterinary guidelines to ensure your pet’s medication is dispensed safely and legally.
At Ashcroft 4 Pets, we are a fully VMD-registered and accredited online retailer. This means every prescription and over-the-counter pet medicine we supply is safe, genuine, and dispensed according to UK law.
We follow all Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) rules, and our team checks every prescription carefully before processing. You can order with confidence, knowing your pet’s health is in the hands of experts and all medicines are traceable, legally supplied, and authentic.
In the UK, most repeat prescriptions for POM-V medicines are valid for up to 6 months from the date your vet issues them. You can order multiple times within this period if your vet has authorised repeats.
For controlled medicines (Schedule 2 or 3), the prescription is valid for 28 days only and cannot be repeated. These medicines are strictly regulated due to their potential for misuse.
At Ashcroft 4 Pets, we follow UK law carefully, ensuring all prescriptions are dispensed safely, legally, and in the exact amounts prescribed.
If your vet prescribes a human medicine for your pet under the Cascade, we can usually dispense against that prescription (with the right checks).
