Dawnnziggy Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 My flea treatment hasn't been working this year so I bought some Nexgard, My DH is afraid for me to use it. So, does anyone on here use Nexgard? Does it seem to work? Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundlady Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 We have used Nexgard here for a while - no negative effects. I have not found any fleas and one of my greys (black coat) had picked up ticks from time to time and when I found them on him they were already dead. I don't love giving any chemicals, but I feel Nexgard is better than the topicals because there is no drippy mess and I don't worry about anyone touching the greys after the application. The ticks do have to bite to be killed, but they die quickly (never found an engorged one) and with my black grey I felt better knowing if I missed any while checking him, they wouldn't live for long. I also use Heartgard and space the meds two weeks apart. I don't give Nexgard year round - just spring, summer and fall. So far we have been safe from the nasty buggers in the winter here.

Dawnnziggy Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Thank you so much! My DH had me scared to death to give it! The topical that I used last time wasn't doing the job. I sure hope this works for my greys! I am going to give it tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walliered Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I uses the Seresto large dog collar on all 4 of mine. Good for 8 months. I have used Nexgard with good results, but with the collar I do not have to remember anything. I don't uses..I use. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remolacha Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I've had Conner on NexGard for about a year with no problems, but use it more for ticks than fleas. Fleas don't seem to be much of a problem here, too hot I guess I use the Soresto collar for Val, she won't eat the NexGard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXRedbo Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 We've had Redbo on Nexgard for a year with no negative side effects. Topicals aren't enough for the crazy Texas fleas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveMyGrey+2 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 No negative results here either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeofNE Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Buck takes Nexgard. No problems. I don't think your vet would sell it to you if it was dangerous for greyhounds, unless he or she is a knot head. Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav.

tbhounds Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Why would you want to chance picking up a tick borne disease? I would keep it simple and just switch to a proven product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
