I just got a new RX for the Nexgard and Heartguard. Ugh. I did the 12 month supply for both and got $50 off but still, not cheap. I split it between Jackson and Lola, my cockapoo. I only use flea/tick meds from about May through September anyway. If we have unusually cooler months, then I'll use it for a shorter time. I have not had any personal issues with Nexgard but it's certainly worrisome to think about.

Edited to add: I DO continue to use Heartguard year round as I don't think it is worth risking heart worms. But the flea/tick is more manageable. I actually haven't given my 2 a dose of Nexgard since the first week of June and it's now September and I have not seen one tick (or flea). I just check them over good every night just in case. I keep their hair short so they are easy to find. IF I can avoid them having to swallow poisons, I do. And yes I know they are for the most part safe/proven drugs but it still kind of weirds me out. However, if ticks were really super bad, I'd have them on it every month. Tick borne illnesses are scary too.
