Answer

Administering NexGard Combo to your cat is essential for their protection against fleas and ticks. It's important to follow the correct dosage and application method to ensure your cat is safe and comfortable.

  • Ensure the correct dosage based on your cat's weight.
  • Apply NexGard Combo directly onto the skin.
  • Monitor your cat for any adverse reactions.

To administer NexGard Combo, first confirm your cat's weight to ensure the correct dosage. Part the fur at the base of the neck until you can see the skin, then apply the product directly onto the skin. Avoid bathing your cat for several days after applying to ensure maximum effectiveness. Always monitor your cat for any reactions or changes in behavior after treatment.
