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.

“My Floor Has Never Been So Clean”: The Mop That’s Winning Over Mums
Mopping isn’t exactly the chore most of us look forward to, but like most mums, for Katrina Macilroy, it’s unavoidable.
With three teenagers, a husband, a dog, two cats and timber flooring throughout most of her home, there’s plenty to keep her mop busy.
“I thought the toddler stage was hard, but teenagers take it to a whole other level,” Katrina told Mouths of Mums.
She describes herself as a ‘full-time Uber driver’ for her three kids, but when she’s home, she may as well be a full-time cleaner.
Her husband is a concreter, the family has plenty of sand coming inside and, with teenagers touching everything, the floors quickly show the evidence of a full family life.
“I have to mop like every second day because the floor gets marks,” she said.
So when Katrina was given the chance to try the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, she was keen to see whether it could actually make one of her least favourite cleaning tasks any easier.
“I didn’t have high hopes for it to start with, because I’ve used spin mops before and I’d been disappointed,” she admitted.
But it didn’t take long for her to change her mind. One of the first things Katrina noticed was just how easy the mop was to use.
The foot pedal made wringing the mop quick and simple, without having to stop and fiddle with anything.
“It was so easy to spin it,” she says. “It wasn’t like you’re spinning it for hours or anything.”
She was also impressed by how quickly the mop itself could be put together, and the simple button that releases the mop head for washing.
“That simple press notion, everyone can do that. So I love that.”
It’s The Little Things That Add Up
For Katrina, who regularly finds herself cleaning up after a busy family, these little details made a surprisingly big difference. She also loved the triangular mop head, particularly when it came to getting into the corners and edges that her previous mop struggled with.
“The triangle design makes it easy to get into all the little corners,” she says.
But ultimately, the big question was whether it actually cleaned her floors. Katrina’s answer was an enthusiastic yes.
“My floor has never been so clean,” she says.
Katrina was also surprised by how light and manoeuvrable the mop felt, because at just 4’11”, she says mopping can sometimes be an uncomfortable job.
“I’m not a tall person, so trying to mop is always just a horrible experience.”
But she found the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set easy to move around and able to go in different directions without feeling heavy or awkward.
And it wasn’t just the mop itself that won Katrina over. She says the bucket design solved one of her biggest mopping frustrations: accidentally tipping the bucket over.
With timber floors, getting too much water onto the floor is something she tries hard to avoid. “The amount of mop buckets I’ve tipped over and just gone everywhere,” she says.
That can turn a simple cleaning job into another mess to deal with, particularly when you’re suddenly scrambling for towels and a dry mop head.
But Katrina says the Vileda bucket feels much more stable because of its design.
And for someone who mops as often as she does, she says that has saved her time. “This thing has saved me so much time, I can’t get over it.”
The Only Mop You’ll Need
Katrina also admits that she’d previously convinced herself she needed a steam mop. She even bought one, only to discover that plugging it in every time she wanted to clean wasn’t exactly appealing.
“You have to plug it in like a vacuum. Like, that’s not fun, I don’t want to do that.”
After trying the Vileda, she says she’s no longer convinced she needs one.
“Why do you need a steam mop when you can get this one?”
For Katrina, the combination of being lightweight, easy to wring, simple to manoeuvre and able to get into those awkward corners has made mopping feel much less frustrating. And despite going into the trial with low expectations, she’s now very happy to recommend it.
“I’m not trying to sell you a product, but I’m just saying that I’m very impressed with it. It’s really good.”
Her final verdict?
“It’s been really, really good. Recommend!”
This Real Story was provided as part of a paid sponsorship opportunity. Katrina was chosen to share her story because she was sent out and tried the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, and genuinely loved it! And Vileda is so confident they’ve made the best spin mop ever, they’re backing the new & improved Easy Wring & Clean TURBO with a 5 Year Guarantee.
This mop so good and the views all are positive so I just purchased one on milkrun through Woolworths and it come with 2 mop head refills. Can’t wait to use it.
Yes, I couldn’t agree more. The Vileda spin mop is by far my favourite mop for a good thorough clean at home. I even got the landlords to purchase one for the holiday house I clean to make cleaning a breeze and get the job done properly. I always grab a spare when they’re out for half price.
Ah, I received a ‘you’re a finalist’ email from MoM for this fantastic mop but didn’t receive anything beyond that. I was looking forward to giving this a try to compare the three existing options I have but alas. Looks good, fingers crossed I can try it in the near future!
Omg! Yes! With 4 dogs and 4 teens AND the guests they bring home with them LOL our timber floors and tiles don’t stand a chance! I would love to see them add some wheels to the bottom of the bucket so that you don’t have to carry the bucket around with you.
This sounds like an excellent mop that makes cleaning so easy! I love a product that not only is as effective as advertised but makes a job less grueling. I gotta say though, a steam mop that plugs in sounds like an awful idea. I have a tineco floor mop, which is cordless and charges at a base, and it’s incredible on my white tiles.
