What is the difference between NexGard and NexGard Spectra?

Regular NexGard (Afoxolaner) protects exclusively against external parasites (fleas, ticks, and mites). NexGard Spectra adds Milbemycin Oxime, providing comprehensive monthly defense against deadly mosquito-borne heartworms and intestinal worms in one chewable tablet.

Does Bravecto protect against heartworm?

Standard Bravecto chewables protect against fleas and ticks for 3 months (12 weeks), but do NOT contain a heartworm preventative. If you give standard Bravecto, you must administer a separate monthly heartworm medication (like Heartgard).

Why is Ehrlichiosis (Tick Fever) so prevalent in the Philippines?

The Philippines has a tropical, humid climate that allows the Brown Dog Tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) to thrive 365 days a year without a winter dormancy break. Ticks transmit the intracellular bacterium Ehrlichia canis, which attacks canine blood platelets.

Quick Summary: The 3 Big Options

If you want all-in-one monthly defense (Ticks + Fleas + Heartworm + Worms), choose NexGard Spectra or Simparica Trio. If you prefer convenience with fewer doses (3 months of flea & tick defense), choose Bravecto, but remember to supplement with a monthly heartworm pill.

2. Why Prevention is 10x Cheaper than Treatment

Ehrlichiosis (Tick Fever)

Transmitted by a single tick bite. Destroys blood platelets, causing nosebleeds, joint swelling, internal organ failure, and lethargy.

Hospitalization & blood transfusions: ₱15,000 – ₱40,000+

Heartworm Disease

Transmitted by mosquitoes. Microscopic larvae grow into foot-long worms that clog the heart ventricles and pulmonary arteries.

Heartworm adulticide injections: ₱25,000 – ₱50,000+ (High mortality risk)
