Despite public health efforts, dogs and cats in the U.S. continue to be diagnosed with rabies. World Rabies Day is held on September 28 to recognize Louis Pasteur who created the first rabies vaccine. It’s an annual reminder of the importance of prevention. It also gives us an opportunity to raise awareness about the work being done, and the need to continue.

Boehringer Ingelheim remains committed to helping eradicate diseases such as rabies though initiatives like Shots for Good®, which provide vaccines to help protect animals in underserved communities.

We're here to support your efforts to eradicate rabies for patients and beyond, including local animal shelters.

Dear Doctor,

On February 18th, 2026, Boehringer Ingelheim announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued Emergency Use Authorizations (EUA) for the use of NexGard® (afoxolaner) Chewables for the treatment of infestations caused by New World screwworm (NWS) in dogs and puppies, and NexGard® COMBO (esafoxolaner, eprinomectin, and praziquantel topical solution) for the treatment of infestations caused by NWS in cats and kittens. New World screwworm is now confirmed in the United States.1 More information about NWS and the unified federal response is available at screwworm.gov.

As a temporary solution, while we work on updating our packaging, every product order will include a 10-sheet tear pad displaying the EUA QR code. We ask veterinarians and clinic staff to provide one sheet from this tear pad with each NexGard® or
NexGard® COMBO product dispensed to pet owners.

NexGard® and NexGard® COMBO have not been approved for this use. NexGard® and NexGard® COMBO are authorized for this use only for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of NexGard®and NexGard® COMBO under section 564(b)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the declaration is terminated or the authorization is revoked sooner.

NexGard® and NexGard® COMBO are authorized to be dispensed only by, or on the order of, a licensed veterinarian. For more information, please visit NexGardEUA.comand NexGardCOMBOEUA.com.
