Bravecto Chews provide 3X longer protection compared to other monthly treatments. One dose of this treatment provides 12 weeks of flea and tick protection to dogs.
Yes. This product is available in two forms:
The chew is safe to use on dogs and puppies 6 months of age and older, and weighing at least 4.4 pounds. It has also been evaluated for use in breeding, pregnant, and lactating dogs.
The oral treatment is safe to give concurrently with other commonly used treatments. However, it is best to check with a veterinarian before using it simultaneously with other treatments.
Chewables should be administered with food. If you break or crumble the chew, ensure your dog consumes the full dose.
If 4 or more hours have passed before your dog vomits, the dose is likely to get absorbed and the dog is protected. If your dog is otherwise healthy and has vomited within 3 hours of receiving the treatment, administer a new dose. However, wait for 24 hours until you re-dose to avoid the chances of vomiting again. Do not administer a third chew in case the dog vomits again. Consult a veterinarian to get tailored recommendations.
There are no adverse effects expected if a dog is treated with twice the recommended dosage within 12 weeks. It is suggested, however, to contact a veterinarian in such a situation.
Both chew and topical are flea and tick treatments that provide up to 12 weeks of parasite protection. Use chews if your dog is comfortable with receiving an oral treatment. Alternatively, use the topical if you have a fussy eater.
The chewables are safe to use along with other commonly used treatments and preventives. However, take the help of a veterinarian to get the best solution for your dog.
This product is not known to directly protect against Lyme disease. However, it is effective in killing Deer ticks that may transmit Lyme disease.
The Fluralaner chew protects against as many as five tick species including black-legged tick, American dog tick, brown dog tick, Asian longhorned tick and lone star tick that may carry diseases.
Chews should be administered once every 12 weeks to kill adult fleas, treat and prevent flea infestations and treat and control black-legged tick, American dog tick, brown dog tick, and Asian longhorned tick infestations. For the treatment and control of lone star tick infestations, administer the dosage once every 8 weeks.
Administer one chew immediately and continue with the routine dosage for your dog’s uninterrupted parasite protection. However, it is best to take the advice of a veterinarian for expert recommendations.
No, the dog version should not be given to cats, as the treatment is specifically formulated for dogs. Bravecto offers cat-specific solutions: Bravecto Topical for Cats and Bravecto Plus for Cats.
This chew is a flea and tick treatment. For comprehensive parasite protection, you may use a product like Simparica Trio that treats and controls roundworm and hookworm infections and prevents heartworm disease along with protecting dogs from fleas and ticks.
