Has anyone used Nexgard on their dogs?!!

[ddnene]

I went to get Frontline for Roxie, and the vets office told me they don't sell it anymore, they use Nexgard...

I bought it, googled it online and couldn't find anything negative so I gave it to her… She seems fine on it, I was just curious if anybody else uses it.

After reading about Trifexis, I just don't trust vets these days… they seem to LOVE to push whatever NEW drug is out on the market. I'm also going thru my own personal medicines… seems like the pharmaceutical companies are running the world right now!!! Very scary…

Herschel has been on Trifexis for 2 years and has done great. Always remember that there are dangers that come with all drugs, for pets and people. I haven't used Nexguard. Hope you find the right option for your baby! I'm sure that someone will jump on here with some great info for you.

Wait... Is this heart worm or flea/tick??

We have used Vectra for a few years without issue, but I never use a whole tube on them. I use most on Banks and the. Finish off on Cheli. When it was the two bully's... I used 1/2 tube on each of them. Never any ticks or fleas on either of them.

heartworm we have used Sentinel for many years without issue

It's flea/tick prevention… we use Heartgard for heartworm and never had a problem. They said that many owner's were complaining about Frontline being greasy, and some dogs having bad reactions to it so they stopped selling it at the clinic. We never had a problem with our dogs. Ticks and fleas are HORRID here in TN

I would LOVE to stop using it as well. We have SO many deer, possum, raccoons, mosquitoes… it's a JUNGLE out there!!! LOL

Bogey has been on Nexgard for 2 months and has had no issues. We tried Triflexis- made him sooooo sick!! Frontline was ok, but he HATED me putting it on, so I assume it burned. And, yes it was messy!! Very happy with the Nexguard.

At the clinic I work for we sell nexgard,comfort is and frontline. That is weird that ur clinic stopped selling frontline because not alot of people have a problem w ticks, just fleas. Nexgard is supposed to be the next big and upcoming product for merial. Our sells rep said the ONLY side effect they have seen in dogs is they throw up after. But if they do u would have to give another dose to them. We are a busy 6 Dr practice and we have not heard any negative side effects from our clients. Thai product has only been out for maybe 2 months now. Nexgard has become so popular that it is already on a 6 month back order after being out fprnonlyn2 months, crazy. But yes I would use it on mine if I had a flea and tick problem

Thanks so much for your input… I didn't know that it was brand new!!!

About trifexis... I could show you the same stats about febreeze and other drugs. I volunteer for my county's humane society which uses it on the heartworm neg intakes and have had no ill effects except for a couple of upset stomachs. Just like with human medications, some will have bad effects.

Last year and the previous year, I used diatomeceous earth on my dogs(food grade). I got tired of putting expensive poison on them. I have wood and tile floors, but I didn't care, if for a few days there was "powder" on the floors. I figured, if it got in the cracks-even better. If you have carpet-so it gets in the carpet-good. If they lick it,and each other, it won't hurt them. I put it on the dogs, and also sprinkled it on their beds. They had no fleas, or ticks. I hope it works again this year. I used to sprinkle it on the carpets,too, when I had carpet. It destroys the flea and tick's protective shell coating-and they die.So far-they (the fleas) can't become immune to it! Of course the dogs don't like to be fussed with-only when THEY decide, but I insist :D. You can also sprinkle it around outside.

I would totally do that Lynn, but I have so many allergies that I'm afraid that I would have a reaction to it. I just had a reaction at my nail salon from citrus oil… it was so embarrassing!!! LOL I get shots, but for some reason now my skin has been breaking out. So weird

You are right [MENTION=9157]ddnene[/MENTION] the dust of it would probably be bad for you! It is a heavy dust-but with allergies like yours-not so good. AND Tn. is one of the worst states for allergies as it is,too. Better not try it....
