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!

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.

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!

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

After something a bit more mature? Bentgo’s Modern lunch boxes are a great option. They have a sleek matte finish in a choice of four stylish shades, including Mint Green, Orchid, Dark Grey and Navy. Each is cleverly designed with a removable divider that allows you to choose between using three or four compartments.

The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
That lunchbox comparison table is handy to have. It helped me make a decision on which lunchbox to buy next for my daughter who is starting kindergarten. I needed to upgrade her lunchbox but wasn’t sure which way to go. The table helped me with my decision. I ended up going with the BBOX and have found a cheaper lunch bag from a department store that it fits in.
I do not know if anyone else has picked up on this or not, but every bag mentioned in the table above is a ‘designer’ brand. There are plenty of more affordable options that aren’t over $40. I have never spent that much on a lunchbox – even from Smiggle. The cheaper brands last just as well too.
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.

It took five seconds to apply.
It had no smell at all which was a good thing.
I would use this product again and I would recommend it to anyone with pets.

Easy to use on a fidgety 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!

NexGard SPECTRA - A Pleasant Smelling Surprise!
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!
