Bravecto Topical for Dogs

Bravecto Topical for Dogs is a long-lasting flea and tick treatment that provides powerful protection with just one dose. Formulated with fluralaner topical solution, this easy-to-apply treatment kills fleas, prevents flea infestations, and controls multiple tick species affecting dogs. One dose of Bravecto protects your dog for up to 12 weeks, offering nearly three times longer protection than most monthly treatments.

The product features a convenient Twist’n’Use applicator, making application simple and mess-free. Bravecto begins killing fleas within 8 hours and significantly reduces flea populations within 24 hours after infestation. It is also effective against several tick species, including black-legged ticks, American dog ticks, and brown dog ticks for up to 12 weeks, while protecting against lone star ticks for up to 8 weeks. In addition, eliminating flea infestations helps reduce the risk of flea allergy dermatitis in dogs.

How it helps

Bravecto Topical for Dogs works through its active ingredient, fluralaner, which is absorbed into your dog’s bloodstream after application. It targets the nervous system of fleas and ticks when they feed, leading to their elimination and helping stop infestations effectively. This action kills adult fleas and helps prevents flea infestations for up to 12 weeks, while controlling black-legged ticks, American dog ticks, and brown dog ticks for the same duration. It also helps manage lone star tick infestations for up to 8 weeks and supports skin comfort by reducing the risk of flea allergy dermatitis.
