Boehringer Ingelheim, a global leader in animal health, has launched the parasite treatment, NexGard COMBO for cats in Vietnam with 300 customers.
With nearly 20 years of expertise in preventing parasites such as fleas, ticks, Lyme disease, and more in dogs, NexGard now adds a feline-specific product to the NexGard family. The new treatment is designed to safeguard cats from a wider range of parasites than many existing products, covering both external parasites and internal parasites such as fleas, ticks, ear mites, hookworms, roundworms, vesical worms, lungworms, as well as tapeworm infections that affect their health and quality of life.
Parasite infections are common in cats and prevalent across Asia. According to an epidemiological study of over 1,000 cats in eastern and Southeast Asia, 31% of pet cats suffer from external parasites such as fleas, ticks and mites and 14% harbor deadly internal parasites such as hookworm, heartworm and roundworm.
“Boehringer Ingelheim has consistently been at the forefront of research and development in the parasiticide space. Our NexGard family of products, trusted by both pet owners and veterinarians, leads in pet parasiticide sales globally and in Vietnam. In Asia, where over 26% of pet owners have cats2, we are excited to expand our feline parasite prevention line-up. This includes Broadline and FRONTLINE PLUS Cat, and now NexGard COMBO. This product is a true innovation in Vietnam as it offers the most comprehensive protection against multiple parasites in cats. This aligns with our belief that when animals are healthy, humans are healthier too." said Dr. Torsten Hardge, Head of Animal Health at Boehringer Ingelheim Vietnam.
