Why does my dog still have ticks after NexGard?
These oral medications like Nexgard and Bravecto are convenient but they do not prevent ticks from attaching to your dog. Oral tick control requires the tick to insert its mouthparts in the dog’s skin to take a blood meal before it will kill the tick.
