Highlighted Reviews
"Nexguard works to kill fleas, once they bite your dog. I had tried two other products first, and neither worked. So it is a relief to have the Nexguard work. My dog got fleas from a dog sitter I found on ROVER app. Apparently, ROVER does not have a policy about fleas, so it is not a covered item."
"VERY disappointing results. Bathed my dogs....then gave them the Nexgard.... still scratching and have seen a couple of tiny fleas. THIS STUFF IS WAAAY TOO EXPENSIVE NOT TO WORK. Going for the second round next week. Then will try another product. Hope others have better results...."
Bottom Line
NexGard is a powerful flea and tick prevention, but the difficulties with ordering and high costs make it a less attractive option.
