Thanks for reaching out with your question! It's really important to ensure you're using safe and effective products for your furry friend.
HARTZ Flea and Tick spray and NexGard are both products designed to tackle fleas and ticks, but they work differently. NexGard is an oral chewable that your dog takes once a month, and it works by killing fleas and ticks through systemic action, meaning it's absorbed into your dog's bloodstream. Many pet owners find it convenient and effective, especially for dogs that don't respond well to topical treatments.
HARTZ Flea and Tick spray, on the other hand, is a topical treatment that is applied directly to your dog's coat. While some pet owners use it without issues, it's important to follow the instructions closely and watch for any adverse reactions like excessive itching, redness, or discomfort.
If you're using both together, consult a vet, as combining treatments can increase the risk of side effects. If you notice symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, those could be signs of a more serious reaction, and reaching out to a vet is crucial.
To ensure you're choosing the safest and most effective prevention plan for your dog, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. They can tailor a flea and tick prevention plan just for your dog’s needs.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
