[NAGDU] Nexguard experience

[Caitlyn Furness]

Tracey,
wow, glad Crocus is alright!!

Can you tell me about the product you went back to??  Is it a topical, or an internal one?  and, is it just for fleas and ticks, or does it cover fleas, ticks, and heart worm?

I’ve been using Trifexis for a couple of years now, and it is a chewable that covers heartworms, fleas, and hookworms and roundworms.  I just hate putting all these chemicals into my dog!  Sadly, though, I haven’t found any so called natural alternatives that I feel comfortable using.  I want to be as certain as possible that my dog is pest free!
