• Open the tube: Cut off the narrow end at the notches using a pair of scissors.
• Find the right spot: Gently separate your dog’s hair at the shoulder blades to expose a small area of skin.

• After applying: Keep your dog dry and separated from other pets for about 24 hours so the solution can spread evenly and absorb.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Will this work for my 45–88 lb dog?

Ans: Yes, this version of NextStar Flea & Tick Topical is specially made for dogs weighing 45 - 88 lbs. Each tube contains the correct amount of active ingredients to deliver effective and safe flea and tick protection for a full month when applied as directed.

Q2: How quickly does it begin working?

Ans: NextStar Flea & Tick Topical starts killing fleas within just 5 minutes of application. The formula spreads naturally through your dog’s skin oils to offer full-body protection. Within 24 hours, it also begins controlling ticks and other listed pests for up to 30 days.

Q3: Do I still need to treat my home environment?

Ans: Yes, because this product works only on your dog, not in your surroundings. Fleas in carpets, bedding, or furniture can continue to hatch and jump onto pets. For complete protection, clean and treat your home and yard along with applying NextStar monthly.

Q4: Does my dog require a prescription for this product?

Ans: No, NextStar Flea & Tick Topical for Dogs is available over the counter and doesn’t require a vet prescription. You can purchase it directly from trusted pet retailers or online. Just ensure you choose the correct variant based on your dog’s weight range.

Q5: Can I bathe my dog right after applying it?

Ans: It’s best to wait at least 24 hours after applying NextStar before bathing or letting your dog swim. This allows time for the solution to spread fully and bond with skin oils, ensuring consistent waterproof protection that lasts up to a full month.
