My dog's Nexgard is late. Will he be safe from fleas and ticks?

Question

Brody takes Nexguard for tick & flea prevention. His refills come by mail & are delayed so he will be three days behind his next dosage by time we receive them. Will this delay in dosage make his more suceptible to fleas and ticks ? Or will he be ok during that period of time ? Pet's info: Dog | American Eskimo Dog | Male | neutered | 8 years and 3 months old | 30 lbs

Nexgard lasts 30 days so it is possible he could get fleas and ticks if his dose is delayed by a few days. You may want to see if your veterinarian would be able to dispense a single dose so he gets it on time - you may be able to skip a month of your automatic refills.
