NexGard® COMBO
(esafoxolaner, eprinomectin, and praziquantel topical solution)
Broad-spectrum parasite protection for cats an in an easy-to-apply monthly topical solution.1
All cats need parasite protection1
Cats may play it cool, but they’re always at risk of parasites, whether they’re indoor or outdoor pets. Other pets in the home can bring parasites indoors, rodents that cats find can carry roundworms or hookworms, and ticks can even hitch a ride inside on your clothing after a day of hiking. That’s why it’s important that your cat receives comprehensive, year-round parasite control.
Formulated specifically for cats, NexGard® COMBO is the first and only broad-spectrum feline parasiticide that kills fleas and ticks, prevents heartworm disease, and treats and controls roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms. Talk to your vet about “one-and-done” monthly protection to see if it’s a good fit for your feline companion!
