NexGard Approved to Prevent Lyme Disease Infections for Dogs

Posted on June 3, 2019 by Holly

FDA Approves NexGard Chewables for prevention of infections that cause Lyme disease in dogs

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved NexGard to prevent Borrelia burgdorferi infections by killing Ixodes scapularis, a type of Black-legged tick that carries the bacteria. The Borrelia bacteria is an infectious bacteria that causes Lyme disease in dogs. The black-legged tick is also known as the deer tick. Lyme disease can cause serious illness in both animals and people. Fever, loss of appetite, lameness, joint swelling, and lethargy are common warning signs in dogs. In severe cases, Lyme disease can affect the kidneys, nervous system, or heart. Learn more about Lyme disease on our blog.

NexGard is a prescription flea and tick preventative for dogs that contains afoxolaner. This medication works by absorbing into the dog’s bloodstream to treat and prevent flea infestations and kill ticks. It is effective against the Black-legged tick, American Dog tick, Lone Star tick, and Brown dog tick.

NexGard is formulated to give protection for 30 days and is a soft, beef-flavored chew. Dogs can also be bathed or swim at any time because it is given orally and does not create a residue on the skin or hair coat. It is also designed for safe administration alongside heartworm and other medications. NexGard chewable can be given to dogs 8 weeks of age and older and weighing 4 pounds or greater. It is available in four sizes: 4-10 lbs, 10-24 lbs, 24-60 lbs, and 60-121 lbs and three, six, or 12-month quantities.

Convenient

My golden had Lyme disease a few years ago and this product, Nexgard, has kept her protected. We have a large deer population in our neighborhood and I feel confident using Nexgard

-Submitted by Marianne Verified Buyer

Works great!

My German shepherd is 2 years old and he has yet to get a tick because l have given him nexgard since he was a puppy.

-Submitted by Jack Verified Buyer

Awesome, fast results

We have been having such a difficult time with ticks this year even though we’ve been using both a topical treatment along with a Seresto Flea collar. Our golden retriever has been on NexGard since the beginning of the month and we are thoroughly pleased with the results, not 1 flea since we started and no itching either. We’ll definitely continue to use both VETRX Direct and NexGard, I highly recommend it. -Submitted by Kim Verified Buyer

Flavored Clavamox Chewable For Dogs and Cats

Posted on October 3, 2017 by Holly

When your cat or dog has an infection, you need to get fast, treatment to stop it from worsening or spreading. Prescription Clavamox Chewable is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that works quickly to control infection with a new tasty flavor. Clavamox contains amoxicillin, a type of penicillin-type antibiotic that works to stop the growth of bacteria. It also contains clavulanic acid, a type of medication called a beta-lactamase inhibitor, which works against bacteria that are normally resistant to amoxicillin.

It also contains clavulanic acid, a type of medication called a beta-lactamase inhibitor, which works against bacteria that are normally resistant to amoxicillin. It is used to treat types of skin and soft tissue infections in both dogs and cats including abscesses, wounds, cellulitis, and pyoderma. It also treats urinary tract infections for cats and periodontal (gum) infections for dogs.

Giving medications to your dog or cat is not always easy, and can be frustrating for both you and your pet. Clavamox Chewable tablets give owners a new option and have a tasty pork liver flavor, making them easier to give. But don’t worry, Clavamox drops and tablets are still available at VetRxDirect. You should always talk with your veterinarian first about medications for your dog or cat.
