Can the Bravecto Chew be broken or crumbled for administration?
Chewables should be administered with food. If you break or crumble the chew, ensure your dog consumes the full dose.

Do not administer a third chew in case the dog vomits again. Consult a veterinarian to get tailored recommendations.
