Approved by the FDA in the USA, Health Canada in Canada, the EMA in Europe and the APVMA in Australia. Ships USA, Canada and worldwide — no vet prescription required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOne chew. 12 weeks. Done.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost flea and tick chews need to be given every month. Bravecto is different: a single chew protects your large dog from fleas and ticks for a full 12 weeks. That's 3 monthly doses condensed into a single, beef-flavoured chew your dog will treat like a treat. Four chews a year is all you need for year-round protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBravecto starts killing fleas within 2 hours and ticks within 12 hours. Once it's in your dog's system, it keeps killing new fleas and ticks for the entire 12-week period — so even if your dog picks up a new flea at the park, on a hike or from another animal, it dies before it can lay viable eggs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSized specifically for large dogs 44–88 lbs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blue pack of Bravecto is dosed for large dogs in the 44–88 lbs (20–40 kg) weight band. That covers most Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, English Springer Spaniels, Bulldogs, Boxers and Australian Cattle Dogs. If your dog is between weight bands, weigh them before dosing — Bravecto must be given in the correct weight band for full 12-week efficacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Bravecto Chewables protect against\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFleas\u003c\/strong\u003e (Ctenocephalides felis) — kills adult fleas within 2 hours and prevents new infestations for 12 weeks.

After your dog eats the chew, fluralaner is absorbed into the bloodstream and remains active for 12 weeks. When a flea or tick bites, it ingests the active and dies before it can transmit disease or lay eggs. Because it's systemic rather than topical, you can bathe your dog, let them swim and pat them straight after dosing — the active doesn't wash off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to give Bravecto\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGive one Blue chew every 12 weeks (4 chews per year for full annual cover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGive with food or shortly after a meal — this improves absorption and ensures the full 12-week duration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe chew is beef-flavoured; most dogs eat it like a treat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf your dog refuses, it can be broken into smaller pieces or given in food\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMark the next dose date on your calendar — 12 weeks (84 days) after the previous dose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy owners choose Bravecto over monthly products\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4× longer protection per dose\u003c\/strong\u003e compared with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/nexgard-chewables\"\u003eNexGard\u003c\/a\u003e, Credelio or \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/simparica-flea-tick-control-for-dogs\"\u003eSimparica\u003c\/a\u003e (monthly chews)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOnly 4 doses a year\u003c\/strong\u003e — far easier to remember and less risk of missed doses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKills fleas faster\u003c\/strong\u003e than most competitors (within 2 hours)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrom MSD Animal Health\u003c\/strong\u003e, the makers of Heartgard, NuvanTrol and Bravecto's full range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeef-flavoured oral chew\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than a topical — no greasy residue, safer around kids, won't wash off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproved in 80+ countries\u003c\/strong\u003e including the USA (FDA), Canada (VDD), EU, UK, Australia and NZ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePack options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1 Chew\u003c\/strong\u003e — 12 weeks (3 months) of protection — best for trying Bravecto for the first time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 Chews\u003c\/strong\u003e — 24 weeks (6 months) of protection — better per-dose value\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor year-round protection, give one chew every 12 weeks (4 chews per year).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eActive ingredient\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFluralaner.

A single chew gives your dog 12 weeks of continuous flea and tick protection. For year-round coverage you need 4 chews per year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How quickly does Bravecto start working?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Bravecto starts killing fleas within 2 hours of your dog eating the chew. Existing fleas are eliminated by 12 hours, and ticks are typically killed within 12 hours of attachment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is Bravecto the right size for my dog?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The Blue chew is dosed for dogs in the 44–88 lbs (20–40 kg) weight band. Weigh your dog before each dose to ensure you're in the right band. If your dog is between weight bands, your vet will normally recommend the next size up — never split chews to dose down, because Bravecto must be given at full dose for the 12-week duration to work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I give Bravecto with food?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes — it's strongly recommended. Give Bravecto with or shortly after a meal. Food significantly improves the absorption of fluralaner and is what ensures the full 12-week duration. Without food, the chew may not protect for the full 12 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What if my dog vomits within 2 hours of eating Bravecto?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: If your dog vomits within 2 hours of dosing, the active may not have been fully absorbed. Give another chew and contact your vet if vomiting continues. If your dog vomits more than 2 hours after the dose, the chew has been absorbed and no re-dose is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does Bravecto prevent heartworm?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No. Bravecto Chewables cover fleas and ticks only.

Bravecto is a systemic oral chew, so the active is absorbed into the bloodstream and stays there.

The chew is best for owners whose dogs take oral medication easily; the spot-on is best for dogs that are reluctant pillers or have a sensitive stomach. Both are equally effective.
