NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats :
4.74 out of 5 based on 163 reviews.

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.

Parasite protection made easy

The launch of NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats marks an innovation breakthrough in parasite control.

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).

  • So easy to use

    It was very easy to use, although l found it came out much quicker than l expected. Some did go onto my cats fur. I know in future to go more slowly She was not at all bothered by the application.
    There was none of the “chemical” type smell l have experienced with other flea control products.

  • NexGard SPECTRA - Odourless Parasite Protection

    NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats did not really have any odour yet alone a chemical one. My normal product has quite a strong odour and my cats react as though it stings when being applied. With NexGard SPECTRA there was no reaction from my cats, no smell and they were happy to sit still while I administered the product.

    NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats was significantly easier to use than my normal product.

  • One 'spot' for treating cats - smell

    I have shared my review about applying NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats to the mini monster in our lives. The treatment-defying madam who has always caused more harm and distress (ours, that is) when being treated than she has felt. Miss madam is also a gagger. In particular, a cat that gags over smells. Yummy chicken morsel. . . oh-oh, just had to smell it first though. . . gag, gag, gag. . . nom, nom, nom. You can imagine our problems with smelly flea treatments, or any treatments for that matter, that have any type of smell. We simply cannot have mini monster madam walking around gagging at her own odour. So, what did we do before NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats? Nothing, except hope that mini monster madam’s petulant demeanour was sufficient enough to ward off any would be, skin invading pests. NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats has barely any smell at all. The only time I caught a whiff of any smell at all was when I sniffed the applicator to be certain before I put the liquid on miss madam. The slight smell was a bit like a cardboard smell. It was similar to a smell one would expect to come from anything that could be sitting around the house. Most importantly, after applying NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats there was no gagging, there was no fighting, there were no injuries (ours, of course) and mini monster madam walked away thinking we had just shown her yet again how much she is adored and loved and not just treated her for every pest a cat could get. She’s lucky that she is loved and adored and that, now, NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats has her back.

  • No smell

    We have used several treatments through the years for fleas/worming. This has to be the easiest application and what I love is no smell. And my cat who is 2 years old was not fussed either by the smell or the application.

    I would definitely repurchase.

    Wow! This product is amazing. Not only was it easy to open and use, my feline was comfortable and happy with the results. No odour to tickle both of our nostrils. My feline and I are satisfied, we will be telling our friends about this product. Thank you for the lovely opportunity.

  • Easy to apply, all-in-one protection for cats.

    First time trying NexGard SPECTRA Spot-On for Cats for my cat, and I’m really pleased how it went for a cat that doesn’t like sitting still. The application process was super easy, and there was no noticeable scent, which is good. I love that it offers protection against a range of parasites as well as internal parasites giving me peace of mind knowing my cat is covered (as she tends to roam in the outside world). So far, it seems to be working great with no side effects. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an all-in-one solution.

    I was really surprised to see the syringe applicator – it made the process of applying the treatment really easy and also you are able to actually see that you’ve applied the full treatment – cat didn’t mind one bit!

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Sandhurst

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!
