NexGard Spectra for Small Cats and Kittens

When we recommend NexGard Spectra for kittens

Kittens grow quickly. Each month they put on weight as they grow, and can move from one parasite-treatment weight range into the next. Felpreva lasts for three months — a long time in the growth of a kitten.

That's why we prefer monthly parasite protection while a kitten is growing. Weigh your kitten before each application and check that they are still in the correct weight range.

NexGard Spectra provides broad protection against major internal and external parasites from eight weeks of age. The 0.8–2.4 kg formulation is appropriate until your kitten reaches 2.5 kg, when the larger formulation should be used.

It is also the option we recommend for small adult cats under 2.5 kg who are breeding, pregnant or nursing.

For a growing kitten, each monthly treatment is also a chance to weigh, reassess and make sure the protection still fits the cat.
