For comprehensive and convenient parasite control in smaller cats and kittens weighing between 0.8 and 2.4 kilograms, there's NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats 0.8 – 2.4kg.

 

This all-in-one topical treatment provides broad-spectrum protection against a wide range of internal and external parasites with just one easy monthly application.  

 

Part of the trusted NexGard SPECTRA range from Boehringer Ingelheim, this specifically sized variant ensures accurate dosing for your lighter feline companions.

 

What it Protects Against:

NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats offers extensive protection, targeting the same range of parasites as the larger size:

  • Fleas: Kills adult fleas, treats and prevents infestations, and helps control flea allergy dermatitis (FAD). It acts quickly, killing newly acquired fleas within 8-24 hours.  
  • Ticks: Provides protection against Paralysis Ticks (Ixodes holocyclus) and Bush Ticks (Haemaphysalis longicornis). Monthly application helps control new paralysis tick infestations. (As with any tick preventative, daily searching for and removal of ticks is still recommended in tick-prone areas).  
  • Mites: Treats and controls Ear Mites (Otodectes cynotis) and Notoedric Mange (Notoedres cati).  
  • Heartworm: Prevents heartworm disease (Dirofilaris immitis).  
  • Lungworm (Aelurostrongylus abstrusus): Treats and controls lungworm infestations.  
  • Intestinal Worms: Treats and controls key gastrointestinal worms, including Roundworms (Toxocara cati, Toxascaris leonina), Hookworms (Ancylostoma tubaeforme, Ancylostoma ceylanicum, Ancylostoma braziliense), and Tapeworms (Dipylidium caninum, Taenia taeniaeformis).  

 

Active Ingredients:

NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats contains the same effective combination of active ingredients as the larger size:

  • Esafoxolaner: An isoxazoline compound that targets external parasites like fleas, ticks, and mites.  
  • Eprinomectin: A macrocyclic lactone effective against internal parasites, including heartworm, roundworms, hookworms, and lungworm.  
  • Praziquantel: A medication that specifically targets tapeworms.

 

Suitability:

This particular size is formulated for cats weighing between 0.8 kg and 2.4 kg. It is safe for use in kittens from 8 weeks of age weighing at least 0.8 kg, as well as in breeding, pregnant, and lactating queens.  

 

How to Use:

NexGard SPECTRA for Cats is applied topically to the skin using a specially designed syringe-style applicator:  

  • Select the applicator for the 0.8 – 2.4 kg weight range (this size uses a 0.3 mL applicator).
  • Hold the applicator upright, pull the plunger back slightly, twist, and remove the cap.
  • Part the fur on the midline of the neck at the base of the skull until the skin is visible.
  • Place the tip of the applicator on the skin and push the plunger to empty the entire contents directly onto the skin in one spot. Applying at the base of the skull helps prevent your cat from licking the product off.
  • Ensure the product is applied directly to the skin, not just the fur.

 

Frequency of Administration:

For continuous and comprehensive parasite protection, NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats 0.8 – 2.4kg should be administered monthly. Consistent application on the same day each month is recommended.

 

Benefits of an All-in-One:

Using NexGard SPECTRA provides a convenient and effective all-in-one solution for parasite control in cats, simplifying your routine and ensuring broad-spectrum protection against a range of potentially harmful parasites with a single monthly treatment.  

 

Precautions and Warnings:

  • For topical use in cats only. Do not administer orally or use on other animal species.
  • Avoid applying to broken skin.
  • Prevent your cat from licking the application site until it is dry. If possible, keep treated cats separate from other pets until the application site is no longer noticeable.
  • Wash hands thoroughly after administering the product.
  • In heartworm endemic areas, it is advisable to test cats for existing heartworm infection before starting a heartworm prevention program.
  • Consult your veterinarian before using this product if your cat has a history of neurological disorders or is on other medications.
  • Store in a safe place away from children and pets.

 

NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats 0.8 – 2.4kg provides essential, broad-spectrum parasite protection for smaller cats and kittens.
