NexGard® PLUS

Gursky Veterinary Services understands the bond we share with our four-legged companions is a testament to loyalty, adventure, and the joy of a wagging tail at the end of a long day. The love we share with our dogs not only brightens our day but our lives as a whole. Yet, in the gently rolling hills of north Texas, dog owners need to be aware of the potential health hazards associated with fleas, ticks, heartworms, and other internal parasites. Our understanding of these risks ensures our dogs continue to thrive.

Whether you live in town or the rural Dallas/Fort Worth area, parasites are a constant presence that needs to be addressed. While everyone is familiar with the sound of a dog battling an itch, it is important to know fleas and ticks can also transmit diseases such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. There are also unseen parasites like heartworms, roundworms, and hookworms that can cause malnutrition, anemia, cardiovascular issues, and gastrointestinal problems. While this information can seem daunting, these parasites are easily controlled with preventive veterinary check-ups and vaccinations.

We recommend that our patients use NexGard® PLUS, an FDA-approved, monthly treatment to treat and prevent fleas, ticks, heartworms, roundworms, pinworms, hookworms, and other internal parasites. With its monthly chewable format, NexGard® PLUS is a convenient and effective way to protect their dogs and ensure their overall well-being and vitality.
