Cases of heartworm disease have been reported in all 50 states – in both indoor and outdoor pets.3 The American Heartworm Society recommends that all pets receive heartworm disease preventives year-round. Ask your veterinarian about preventing heartworm disease in your dogs with monthly NexGard PLUS chews. All dogs should be tested for heartworms prior to starting a heartworm disease preventive.
With NexGard PLUS chews, you’re protecting your dog from fleas and ticks, PLUS heartworm disease, 3 species of hookworms, and 2 species of roundworms – all with the tasty beef-flavored chew that’s designed for monthly dosing that’s a delight for your dogs.
