Nugard for Small Dogs 4-10kg (Aqua)

Nugard for Small Dogs is a versatile solution, meticulously designed to both treat and prevent a variety of parasitic infections in dogs. This veterinary-grade topical treatment not only offers fast-acting relief but also ensures long-lasting protection against a range of common parasites.

Combatting Fleas and Flea-Related Issues

Fleas are the leading cause of skin disease in dogs. These tiny parasites infect the skin and coat, causing problems that range in severity from itchiness, weeping sores, and scaly skin to, in some cases, life-threatening allergic reactions. With Nugard, you can effectively combat fleas and flea larvae, significantly reducing the risk of Flea Allergy Dermatitis. Moreover, this treatment provides rapid relief within minutes of application.

Controlling Internal Parasites

In addition to addressing fleas, Nugard specifically targets internal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. These parasites pose significant health risks to dogs. By incorporating Nugard into your dog’s routine, you can regularly control and prevent infestations, thereby maintaining overall health.

• Roundworms: In Australia, Toxascaris leonina and Toxocara canis threaten both dogs and humans. Prevention is crucial for your pet and family’s health.
• Hookworms: These blood-feeding parasites attach to the intestinal wall and are especially dangerous for puppies and small breeds.
• Whipworms: Long-lasting parasites that live in the cecum and large intestine, causing irritation and chronic health issues. Can survive in the environment for up to 5 years.

Controlling External Parasites

Combat the relentless discomfort caused by sarcoptic mange, ear mites, and lice with Nugard. Protect your pet from the intense itching, discomfort, and potential health risks associated with these common parasitic infestations.

• Sarcoptic Mange: Caused by Sarcoptes scabiei; highly contagious to both dogs and humans. Causes extreme itchiness and skin damage.
• Ear Mites: Tiny pests that cause irritation and infections in the ear canal by feeding on wax and oils.
• Lice: Includes three species affecting dogs, from biting to bloodsucking types. Can cause itchiness, skin damage, and anaemia in severe cases.

Preventing Heartworm Infections

Heartworm disease, caused by Dirofilaria immitis and spread via mosquitoes, is potentially fatal and impacts the heart, lungs, and major organs. Nugard acts as a monthly preventative, offering peace of mind by protecting dogs against this serious health threat.
