Dr. Devin Kistler, owner of All Animals Veterinary Clinic in Lebanon, Indiana, understands the challenges veterinary professionals face when recommending parasite protection for cats. Since many feline patients live exclusively indoors, pet owners sometimes don\u2019t see the value in protection. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Kistler relies on affordable NexGard<\/i> COMBO topical solution to make saying \u201cyes\u201d easy for her cat-owning clients. We asked why she trusts NexGard<\/i> COMBO topical solution and how adopting a One-And-Done monthly protection product has impacted her practice and clientele.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: Can you tell us about your practice?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Kistler<\/b>: Our clinic has been here for 33 years, originally opened by my dad, and I\u2019ve been a veterinarian here since 2011. We are a mixed animal practice with about 90% small animals and 10% food animals, and a 70\/30 split between dogs and cats. We do soft tissue surgery and see sick patients, but we also do a lot of wellness and preventive care. We have three full-time doctors.<\/span><\/p>\n

A:<\/b> I love doing surgery and dentals, but my favorite thing is talking to clients about preventive care. I enjoy following pets from kittenhood through senior care and hospice, teaching people to take care of their pets, and ensuring <\/span>they use the right tools and products<\/span> to keep their pets protected. We spend a lot of time training the staff how to talk to clients and educating clients about flea, tick and heartworm disease protection and why that\u2019s so important.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: How do you navigate parasite protection conversations with cat owners?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A:<\/b> We are in a farming community, so we see some barn cats, but most of our feline patients are indoor pets. We hear, \u201cMy cat never goes outside, so they don\u2019t need anything\u201d a lot. We work hard from day one, when we see those kittens or adult cats, talking about parasite risks. We try to have that same talk with every cat owner repeatedly, and if somebody is on the fence, we\u2019ll give them a free first dose. We\u2019ll also show them how to apply it, or we put it on for them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: Why do you recommend NexGard\u00ae<\/i>COMBO (esafoxolaner, eprinomectin, and praziquantel topical solution) for your feline patients?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A:<\/b> It\u2019s hard to beat products that are easy to use. I was skeptical of the syringe-like packaging, but we found it\u2019s easier to put on and see where it\u2019s going, which makes a huge difference to clients. The broad coverage means clients have to use only one thing. And, we can carry one product that works really well for barn cats and indoor cats. I think that\u2019s important\u2014we don\u2019t have to use additional dewormers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: What made you switch to NexGard<\/i> COMBO topical solution?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A:<\/b> The team has one product they recommend regardless of the cat\u2019s lifestyle. The price point was good for us, especially since we use other Boehringer Ingelheim products. We <\/span>use Greenline\u00ae as well, so the clients get instant rebates, and we can save them money right off the bat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: How was the transition from your previous product?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A:<\/b> Our Boehringer Ingelheim rep is amazing, and she\u2019s done a lot of education. We had a lunch-and-learn on NexGard<\/i> COMBO topical solution early on. The team transition was seamless because our rep made sure we had everything we needed. We were already using and talking about HEARTGARD\u00ae Plus (ivermectin\/<\/span>pyrantel) and NexGard<\/i>\u00ae (afoxolaner) for our canine patients<\/span>, so staying in that product family was easy. We didn\u2019t get much pushback from our clients because they trust our recommendations. <\/span><\/p>\n

Q: Do you have any tips for encouraging compliance?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A<\/b>: We want everyone to walk out with protection. The doctors and <\/span>technicians discuss it in exam rooms. Before clients leave, we ask if they need some while they\u2019re here. Most of the time, my team has already asked, and it\u2019s waiting for the client at checkout. We make it easy for people to come in and <\/span>pick it up or use our online pharmacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: How does Boehringer Ingelheim support your team and use of NexGard<\/i> COMBO topical solution?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A:<\/b> My rep and her manager are great, and we\u2019ve worked with them for years. Anytime we have to call tech services, they\u2019re easy to get ahold of and talk to. If we ever need pamphlets, educational materials or staff training, they take care of it. If there is a problem with shipping, they fix it. When we\u2019ve had heartworm-positive pets, they work with the client.<\/span><\/p>\n
