NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats is the newest product in the NexGard SPECTRA brand family. It is Australia’s first and only all-in-one parasite product for cats, providing protection against fleas, ticks, mites, heartworm, lungworm and intestinal worms (including tapeworm).
Why do cats need parasite protection?
Cats and their natural behaviours and instincts place them at high risk of parasites. For example, roaming outdoor cats are exposed to fleas, ticks and intestinal parasite eggs and larvae shed by other pets and wildlife. Grooming behaviour can also result in the ingestion of fleas containing flea tapeworm larvae, and hunting exposes cats to roundworm, lungworm and tapeworms carried by the animals they prey upon.
Indoor cats are also at risk of parasites, with exposure possible via contact with worm eggs brought in on shoes, preying on parasite-infested pests such as rodents, slugs or snails that enter the home, or being bitten by a heartworm-infected mosquito.
Protection against the important internal and external parasites of cats has traditionally required the use of multiple products – potentially with different dosing intervals and methods of administration which can be confusing.
But NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats makes parasite control easy. It provides the most complete parasite protection, all in one easy, monthly application.
It’s applied topically with an innovative, easy-to-use applicator to help reduce stress and mess for cats and their owners.
Safe for kittens from 8 weeks of age and weighing at least 0.8 kg
Safe for breeding, pregnant and lactating queens, and heartworm-infected cats
NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats is available in 3-month and 6-month protection packs.
Find it in veterinary clinics, pet specialty stores and online retailers (eg. Pet Circle, Budget Pet, Petstock and Petbarn).
My cat Pixie absolutely hates me putting anything on her back and will run a mile and stay away from me for hours. This time she came back shortly after probably because there was no smell which others I have tried have a strong smell. The syringe was much easier to use. Will be getting the NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On again and this time will try on my other cat Mickey.

NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats was super easy to apply, no odour, and my cat who would normally scatter at the sight of a treatment stayed still for the couple of seconds it took to apply. Very happy with the product!

I am so happy because of the simple and easy application of the NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats. The syringe style applicator makes my job so much easier and my cat didn’t resist at all. It gives me a sense of comfort to this super quick and easy way. I highly recommend this for all cat lovers.

I was lucky enough to trial NexGard SPECTRA on our cat.
The syringe style application was simple to use making it super easy to apply, it also wasn’t messy and I couldn’t smell any odour at all.
I’d easily recommend NexGard SPECTRA to anyone looking for a great treatment for cats!

NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats is easier and simpler then trying to give my Tiger boy a tablet to control his fleas or worms. One convenient syringe application that he didn’t mind having despite being a cat that rarely likes to be held. Over and done in less than a minute and no need to worry. I used to be concerned about whether he actually fully swallowed his tablets or ate all the food they were hidden in. Now there is no stress or worry. Just syringe and he is covered for a month.

NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats is easy to apply, no smell, no mess either. I especially love that I don’t have to wrestle my cat and get scratched to bits trying to put a tablet down his throat. One syringe application he didn’t mind or notice that I was touching him ( the master of the house). Over and done in less than a minute with no worry at all. I was hoping ( as he doesn’t have fleas) it would deter this little flying insect in Tasmania that annoys him so much but it doesn’t and i have tried everything.

If I didn’t use it, I would not have believed it had no smell that I could sense. Our cat was calm with this application, but hadn’t been with previous products!! Will be using again!!

I like the easy application, it’s non-invasive and effective. I have tested this on my fluffiest cat Tammy and now she doesn’t seem to be itching as much as before. I feel relieved knowing that my cat is safe from parasites and I will be looking to buy more of these in the future!

I was happily surprised at how easy NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats was to use on my normally skittish cat. In the past I have tried different brands to find an easier way so now I can stop looking for alternatives. I have recommended NexGard SPECTRA to others and will definitely purchase every month for protection for our cats.

Having used spot on treatment for many years, this was so easy to use, had no obvious odour and my cat didn’t even react to the application. A great idea using a syringe rather than the squeeze things as the product went exactly where it needed to. Definitely recommended.

This product had no smell at all which is great as I don’t like the chemical smell of some products.
It also will be beneficial for my fur babies as it won’t bother them.
For this reason alone I would recommend them to other pet parents. Excellent product overall. Thank you.

My Cat is horrible when it comes to putting anything on their skin. It’s a game of catch me if you can. I got them on the right day because it was a breeze. They didn’t run and hide afterwards, and there was no odour. I would definitely recommend this product.

I always found it hard to apply any flea treatment on my cat. However the NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats was easy. There was no smell and the applicator was easy to use. My cat didn’t feel any need to try and stop me and that is a good thing. I have noticed her scratching less and I think I’ve found my new treatment.

I’ve got a rescue cat who is very fidgety when using any flea treatment. She is also a long hair cat.
This went on well. She has not been distressed by any smell, and has settled quite quickly afterwards .
I am hoping to use this again in the future, especially as we live rurally and have a few cats, this is the only cat that doesn’t go outside. Everything is brought to her!

Easy to use once you have the cat and syringe ready
I have a long haired cat and getting her to remain still whilst I parted her hair to get to her skin and then having the syringe ready to go was a bit of a juggling act. I needed an extra pair of hands. Once I managed this, it was easy to apply and I love that it was odourless. And my cat was not concerned or agitated after the application as you can see in the photo. She was quite happy – very non invasive

This product was so easy to use! My cat can be quite stubborn at times but she didn’t seem fussed at all when using this. The syringe was super easy to use and made it totally mess free. The fact that it didn’t have that typical smell you find with other products helped as well.

It is so easy and quick to apply NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats. My cat dislikes having any treatment applied on to her but NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats was so quick it was over before she realised what was going on, such a bonus. I have 2 Cats so only 1 cat could trial this and I chose the bigger of the 2 cats because she dislikes treatment day.

Having used other brands of spot treatment for flea/heartworm for many years I was pleasantly surprised by the much more gentle smell of the NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On treatment.
When opening the NexGard SPECTRA box I was a little apprehensive about the syringe applicator but it was actually really simple to use. There was still a slight odour, but not the knock yourself out chemical smell that we’ve experienced with other brands. So much so that my cat didn’t even bother to try turning her neck and running away like she usually would! We used the product last week, and our cat’s fur feels so lovely and soft this week. Plus it’s great to know she’s protected from so many nasties. NexGard SPECTRA is definitely a product we will use again!

Very easy to apply. The instructions were clear and had additional information in the product box. The product had almost no odour. The kitten didn’t even try to lick it off, just stayed laying down. Will definitely be using NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for cats from now on. Very happy with this product!

Genius Beach And Pool Tips Every Aussie Mum Should Know
Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!
But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier).
You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!
Pack Smart, Not Big
Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?
Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and
A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
A dry bag for clothes
A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
A pop-up tent for changing
Waterproof phone case
Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!
“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member
Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts
It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:
Swimming between the flags at the beach
Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel.
Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.
That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!
Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier
The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.
Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.
Prep & Time It Perfectly
There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.
“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member
Pack Smart Snacks
Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:
Chopped fruit
Crackers
Boiled eggs
Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight
“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member
A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!
You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.
