If you've found expired NexGard in your cabinet, it's best not to give it to your dog. Using expired medication can be risky as it may not be effective and could potentially cause harm.
- Expired medications may lose potency and not provide the intended level of protection against fleas and ticks.
- There is a risk the chemical composition may change, potentially leading to unexpected side effects.
- Using ineffective medication might leave your dog vulnerable to parasites, which can cause health issues.
It's important to ensure your dog receives a safe and effective flea and tick treatment to avoid potential health risks. Purchasing a new, in-date product guarantees the efficacy and safety that your beloved pet deserves.
For specific guidance and to ensure your pet's health, consider consulting a veterinary professional. You can easily book a consultation with one of our trusted vets by visiting Dial A Vet.
