Product Features

NexGard SPECTRA is a vet-approved chewable tablet for extra small dogs, protecting against fleas, ticks, and worms in a single monthly dose.

  • Dual action formula
  • Beef-flavoured chew tablets
  • Lasts a full month with each dose

Product Details

Prescription Only Medicine (POM-V) NexGard SPECTRA is a broad-spectrum parasite treatment for dogs, designed to protect against multiple internal and external parasites with a single, tasty chew tablet. It contains afoxolaner and milbemycin oxime and is available in different strengths to suit a dog’s body weight. NexGard SPECTRA is used in dogs to treat and help prevent a range of common parasites. It is suitable when protection against both internal and external parasites is required simultaneously. The product is available in different strengths to suit a dog’s body weight and must be used as prescribed by a veterinary surgeon.

What it protects against

  • Fleas and ticks
  • Worms, including roundworms (Toxocara spp – worms that affect the gut), whipworms and hookworms
  • Lungworm (a parasite that damages the lungs)
  • Heartworm disease (a parasite that affects the heart and blood vessels)
  • Thelaziosis (an eye worm infection, where relevant)
  • Mange and ear mites (skin and ear infestations that cause itching and irritation)

How NexGard SPECTRA Works

NexGard SPECTRA works using two active ingredients. Afoxolaner kills fleas and ticks by disrupting their nervous systems, preventing them from laying eggs. Milbemycin oxime targets internal parasites by paralysing worms, including roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, lungworms, and heartworm larvae.

Possible Side Effects

In clinical studies, serious side effects were not observed. Uncommon side effects included vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy, reduced appetite, and itching. These effects were usually mild and short-lived. Side effects are classified by how often they occur, ranging from very common to very rare.

Use During Pregnancy and Lactation

The safety of NexGard SPECTRA has not been established in pregnant or lactating dogs, or in breeding animals. Use should only be considered following a benefit-risk assessment by a veterinary surgeon.
Interactions with Other Medicines
Milbemycin oxime may interact with certain medicines, including other macrocyclic lactones. Using these together may increase the risk of side effects. Always inform your vet about other treatments your dog is receiving.
Overdose
No adverse reactions were observed in young puppies given doses up to five times the recommended amount under study conditions.

Instructions

How is it administered?

NexGard SPECTRA chew tablets for Extra-small dogs are beef-flavoured, readily accepted by most dogs, with 9 out of 10
dogs preferring NexGard SPECTRA.

Contraindications

Do not use NexGard SPECTRA in dogs with known hypersensitivity to the active ingredients or any of the other ingredients.

Warnings for Dogs

Fleas and ticks must attach to the dog and begin feeding to be affected. For this reason, the risk of transmission of parasite-borne diseases cannot be completely excluded.

Parasite resistance may develop with frequent or repeated use of treatments from the same class. Use should be based on individual assessment and local parasite risk.

To support effective heartworm control, dogs should be tested for heartworm infection before starting preventative treatment. Only dogs testing negative should be treated.

Precautions for Use in Dogs

Use in puppies under 8 weeks of age or dogs weighing under 2 kg should be based on a veterinary benefit-risk assessment.

In areas where heartworm is present, dogs should be tested before treatment. Dogs with adult heartworm may require separate treatment, as NexGard SPECTRA is not intended to clear microfilariae.

The recommended dose must be followed carefully, particularly in collies and related breeds.

Precautions for the Person Giving the Product

This product may cause stomach upset if swallowed.

Keep tablets in the blister until use and store them in the outer carton.

If swallowed accidentally, especially by a child, seek medical advice immediately and show the product packaging.

Wash hands after handling the tablets.

Do I need a prescription to buy POM-V pet medicines online?

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).
