[NAGDU] Nexguard experience

[Julie J.]

It's OTC.  I buy it from the company:

https://www.cedarcide.com/product-category/animal-health/

The specific product I use for the dogs is the Best Yet.  I have used the 
lawn products a few years ago when we had a plague of gnats.
I haven't looked for it at Amazon, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was 
there.

Ok, Julie and Tracey, thanks!

So, do you get it from the vet, or can I get it OTC??

thanks!
