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.

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.

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.

‘I Grabbed My Car Keys And RAN!’ The New Supermarket Bread Everyone’s Talking About
Mum-of-two Rebecca McCracken has spent the last four years reading ingredient lists on pretty much everything she buys at the supermarket.
Like many parents raising kids with food allergies, a quick trip to the supermarket often means checking labels, comparing products and hoping to find something the whole family can eat.
Bec’s four-year-old son and 17-month-old daughter were both born with cow’s milk protein allergy. While her son has since outgrown his allergies, her toddler still reacts to dairy, making even everyday staples like bread a challenge.
“Unless we buy expensive sourdough for seven or eight dollars, we don’t really have a choice.”
Even then, it’s not ideal.
“A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich,” Bec laughs. “And fairy bread on sourdough is not great.”
A New Loaf On The Block
Bec runs an online community for allergy families, so she spends plenty of time sharing recipes, product finds and supermarket discoveries with other parents.
It was one of those parents who first told her about new JUST bread.
“A follower messaged me and said, ‘Oh my gosh, this bread is coming soon.’ I was like, ‘Where? When? I need to know. I’m getting my car keys and running!'”
Made with baker’s flour, water, yeast, vinegar, oil and salt, JUST bread contains no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours.
For Bec, it sounded almost too good to be true. “When we saw JUST bread, I was like, ‘You’re joking.’ A bread that’s fresh baked but in the bread aisle? That’s unheard of for us.”
“It was really exciting for our family and for the allergy community.”
The Family’s Toughest Critic Approved
Of course, there was one person whose opinion mattered more than anyone else’s.
“My toughest critic is my daughter. She is so fussy. We know something is really good if she approves it, and she approves it. She loves it. She’ll eat it plain, toasted, as French toast … whatever. She loves it.”
Bec says she was impressed too.
“I like it. I like that it’s only got minimal ingredients and doesn’t have the additives and preservatives that are in a lot of other brands.”
A Simpler Option For Everyday Families
Bec tried out JUST bread because of her family’s allergies, but she says it has a broader appeal.
“I think everyone is becoming more conscious of additives and preservatives in their food.”
It’s a feeling many of us can probably relate to. We don’t all want to overhaul the way we eat, but plenty of us are paying a little more attention to ingredient lists and looking for products that keep things simple.
Bread is one of those foods that’s always around. It ends up in lunchboxes, on the breakfast table, alongside soup on a cold night and covered in hundreds and thousands at birthday parties. When we eat something that often, it’s only natural to wonder what’s in it.
JUST bread keeps things simple with a handful of pantry ingredients and no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours. It’s the sort of loaf that fits easily into busy family life without asking us to compromise on taste or convenience.
Little Changes, Big Difference
For Bec, finding a loaf of bread her whole family can enjoy is about more than ticking another item off the shopping list.
“It seems like such a little thing to the normal community, but for us this is a massive win.”
Being able to make sandwiches without worrying about ingredients. Packing lunchboxes a little more easily. Bringing back fairy bread for birthdays. Sometimes it’s the little things that make family life feel a whole lot simpler.
And while Bec found JUST bread because she needed another allergy-friendly option, its simple ingredient list is likely to appeal to plenty of other families too. After all, when we can choose everyday foods made with ingredients we recognise, that’s a pretty good place to start.
JUST Bread is made on a line that also processes soy and sesame.
Mouths of Mums is proudly working with JUST. to bring you this article. JUST bread is made with just a handful of pantry ingredients. JUST. The Good Stuff.
I am so glad to hear about this and will definitely be on a look out for this in the supermarket. I have noticed that there are starting to be more ‘cleaner’ products in the supermarket, meaning consumers are being heard. We are going full circle back to how foods use to be produced before companies got greedy and started taking shortcuts to producing food items. I hope we continue seeing more preservative and additive free options that are affordable come back in the supermarkets.

Grabbing your car keys and running for a bread ?? I can’t imagine doing so for a bread lol ! It’s nice to see that more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and put on the market.
I don’t agree with the statement that “A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich”. It depends on what type of bread you introduce to your kids. My kids grew up with 7 seeds, rustic bread and sourdough and they love it. It’s also quite easy and cheap to make sourdough bread yourself.
I haven’t seen this bread in the supermarket but will be looking for it now. I have been trying to avoid preservatives and additives for some time now and as highlighted in the article bread it difficult to find, or super expensive, without them so I don’t have it often.
This is fantastic, finally a bread that is not full of nasty stuff. I will be going straight out to buy this. My son has ARFID and will only eat white bread, but it’s not terribly healthy. With this bread, at least I know that it is much healthier than the alternatives. Woohoo
I cant wait to give this bread a go (so far its always been sold out at my local woolies so it must be good). So good its suitable for those with allergies too. I think nowadays were all looking for cleaner options of ingredients in our foods so this is a step in the right direction.
I am glad more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and offered. I don’t agree with Bec’s statement that kids don’t like sourdough bread. My kids were introduced to sourdough and the most rustic and seeded breads from the time they started to eat bread, and they love it
Oh I cannot wait to try this bread! We go through that much bread each week and I always feel so guilty with how much my kids have – not anymore! Would love to see them introduce other variants in the future – multigrain and gluten free would be superb!
This is such a great product that I’m looking forward to trying! I’ve only been buying bread from bakeries the last few years because grocery store bread texture was so dense and unpleasant. But the hassle with bakery bread is I can’t get it everywhere! I’ll be really keen to give this a go
