Description

The Bravecto chew (fluralaner) for dogs is an oral, palatable treatment that provides 12 weeks of long-lasting protection against fleas and ticks. It is a veterinary-prescribed medication that is administered every three months.
Key Features and Benefits
Extended Protection: A single Bravecto chew offers protection for up to 12 weeks, which is three times longer than typical monthly treatments. This reduces the chance of missed doses, ensuring consistent coverage against parasites.
Active Ingredient: The primary active ingredient is fluralaner, which belongs to the isoxazoline class of parasiticides.
Fast-Acting: It starts killing fleas within 2 hours of administration and kills over 95% of fleas within 12 hours. It also kills 100% of ticks within 12 hours.

Fleas (Ctenocephalides felis)
Various ticks, including the black-legged tick, American dog tick, brown dog tick, Asian longhorned tick, and lone star ticks
