It's not recommended to split NexGard chews to dose pets of different sizes. These chews are designed to provide each pet with the precise dose of medication they need based on their weight.
- NexGard chews provide precise flavor and dosage in each chew.
- Splitting the chew may lead to an uneven distribution of medication.
- Each chew is formulated to ensure safety and efficacy per weight category.
- It's important to consult with your veterinarian for proper dosing.
NexGard chews are carefully formulated to provide the required dose of medication evenly in each chew. Splitting the chew could result in uneven medication distribution, making it less effective and potentially unsafe. It's best to purchase the correct dosage as per your smaller dog's weight to ensure both efficacy and safety.
For detailed guidance on pet medications, feel free to book a consultation with a veterinarian at Dial A Vet.
