How is Bravecto different from other chewable or topical flea and tick treatments?
Bravecto is the only flea and tick treatment to last 12 weeks* with one convenient chew or topical dose. That means nearly 3X longer lasting protection than common monthly treatments. The long-lasting efficacy breaks the flea life cycle and drives fleas into extinction with one dose. And, Bravecto kills ticks faster, killing 100% of attached ticks in 12 hours – whereas other treatments can take over 48 hours.
How does Bravecto kill fleas and ticks
After you give your pet Bravecto, it quickly reaches tissue fluids just under your dog's or cat's skin. When fleas and ticks feed, they ingest Bravecto and die. Bravecto Chew for Dogs starts killing fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) within 2 hours, and kills ticks (Ixodes ricinus) within 12 hours. Bravecto Chew for Dogs kills fleas, prevents flea infestations, and kills ticks (black-legged tick, American dog tick and brown dog tick) for 12 weeks. Bravecto Chew for Dogs also kills lone star ticks for 8 weeks.
Do dogs readily eat the Bravecto chew?
In a US field study where dogs were treated at home, over 93% of dogs ate the chew voluntarily - either by itself or with food.
How safe is Bravecto Chew for Dogs
Bravecto has a wide margin of safety in dogs who weigh at least 4.4 lbs. and cats who weigh at least 2.6 lbs. It is also approved for puppies and kittens aged 6 months or older.
Bravecto Chew for Dogs is approved for use in breeding, pregnant, and lactating dogs.
My dog is taking some medications for another condition as well right now. Is it safe to give him/her Bravecto?
There are no problems reported in field trials in dogs and cats that received Bravecto alongside other commonly used medicines. However, your veterinarian is your pet's health care expert, so it is always best to discuss all of your pet's treatments with them, whether prescription or over-the-counter supplements.
Does water, grooming or hair length have an effect on how Bravecto chew works?
Immediately bathing, shampooing, or swimming should not affect how well Bravecto Chew works, as it is not a topical treatment. Coat length and grooming or brushing also have no impact on how well it works.
Do Bravecto Chews for Dogs Tablets contain wheat or gluten?
No.
Will Bravecto kill ticks and fleas that are already on my dog or cat?
Yes.
Is Bravecto Chew for Dogs approved for use in breeding/pregnant/lactating dogs?
Yes. Bravecto is approved for use in breeding, pregnant, and lactating dogs.
Can the Bravecto Chew be crumbled?
The product insert states that Bravecto should be administered orally as a single dose. In the case that a chew is broken or crumbles, it should be assured that the dog still receives the whole dose.
Can the Bravecto Chew be broken up and given with food?
Bravecto Chew for Dogs should be given with food. If a chew is broken, it should be assured that the dog still receives the whole dose.
Can Bravecto be used in Collies?
In a well-controlled laboratory study, Bravecto was shown to be safe in Collies known to be MDR-1 gene-deficient. Collies with the defect were administered 3 times the deliverable dose and had no adverse events.
What happens if the dog vomits after taking the Bravecto Chew?
If vomiting occurs, check with your veterinarian to decide whether to re-dose or not; however, if an otherwise healthy dog vomits within 3 hours of receiving Bravecto, it is recommended that the dog be re-dosed. To help ensure that the dog does not vomit again, it is suggested to wait 24 hours until re-dosing.
If 4 or more hours have passed before the vomiting occurs, it is likely that the medication has been absorbed and the dog is protected. If the vomiting repeats again, do not give a third chew, and call your veterinarian.
If you suspect that a side effect has taken place as a result of giving the dog Bravecto, please report it to Merck Technical Services at 1-800-224-5318, and follow any advice that they provide.
A dog received his dose earlier than the 12 weeks. Is that okay?
It is always best to discuss your pets' medical treatment with your veterinarian. However, Bravecto has a high margin of safety. In safety studies, Bravecto was tested in healthy dogs and puppies at up to 5X the recommended dose at 8-week intervals for 3 treatments. Therefore, no adverse effects are expected if dogs are inadvertently treated twice with the recommended dose within 12 weeks, but please contact your veterinarian.
Is Bravecto recommended by veterinarians?
Yes. Bravecto Chew for Dogs is vet recommended for puppies and dogs 6 months of age or older who weigh at least 4.4. lbs.

Unsure if Maybe they changed the flavor
By Baloo on Dec 11, 2021
When I first started using this, Baloo used to love taking them. The consistency was a bit more grainy/matte. After a year or so of using it every 12 weeks, bought it and Baloo wouldn’t when acknowledge it. The consistency changed. Became more buttery and more like hard peanut butter. I love this product so much for preventive care that now I have to push it to the back of the throat of my dog and close her mouth so she can swallow it because she won’t eat it like a treat. Unsure if they changed something about it. Bummer but we still use it. Great product! Would give 5 stars but Baloo said “nope”!

Horrible Taste
By Zech on Oct 20, 2021
My dog hates the taste so much that I broke it into 4 pieces, covered it in Pedigree wet dog food, but he still wouldn't eat it. I then went to Bojangles & bought a sausage biscuit, threw away the biscuit, covered it in the sausage patty, but he still wouldn't eat it. I actually had to go to his vet to have them ram it down his throat. The product is a good product but it smells terrible & apparently tastes terrible.

Worked Great!
By Carol on Oct 6, 2021
I introduced a rescue kitten of one month old to our family. Little did I know that he had fleas that he gave to my 14 year old dog. She was infested. I used this and within 3 hours she stopped scratching all the time. Within a month I noticed a big difference in her coat and energy level. This product along with others recommended by my vet helped to rid the house of the fleas as well. Its all a process, but after one month we are almost flea free in the home and completely flea free on my dog.

Makes me happy
By Parker on Oct 27, 2021
These chews work great for keeping fleas off my pooch! I have an allergy to flea bites and had difficulty with them finding me in the house! NOW, with Bravecto that is no longer an issue! AND, I can actually look at his tummy and there are never any fleas! THIS STUFF IS GREAT!

Vet recommended
By Cassie on Nov 21, 2021
This is the flea/tuck prevention that our vet recommended and prescribed. Works well for our Boston Terrier. It’s slightly cheaper through Chewy than directly though our vets office.

Finally! I’m on schedule with her tick and flea treatment!
By TikimamaEC on Sep 11, 2021
Tiki has been on Bravecto for a few years, but I’m terrible at remembering to go to the vet’s office and pick one up every three months. With Chewy’s autoship, they’ll come right to my house, regularly and on time. That means no skipped doses and continuous protection. And Chewy even contacted my vet to get the prescription and other information!

Good product NO COMMUNICATION
By Callee on Oct 8, 2021
This review isn’t about the product, it’s about poor, or no communication. I ordered this in the spring- hear absolutely nothing until the product shows up in September! I no longer need it? I’ve obviously purchased it elsewhere because my pup needed it!?!?!

Great product, iffhy shipping methods
By Andy on Aug 15, 2021
Product never fails, however this is my first time ordering meds from Chewy. I was super excited when my package said it had arrived only to not be able to find it. Called Chewy to track the package, I was told the item was shipped and that “A. Smith had signed for them.” I let them know I live in an apartment complex and have no idea who that would even be. Makes me uneasy to think companies let anyone sign for a package that’s not even being sent to the name of the signee. Was able to get a replacement, I do appreciate Chewy for their cooperation. Chewy is convenient for food/treats/toys, meds are questionable if you live in a complex.

I have had great luck with this
By Leelasmom on Sep 17, 2021
We have been using this for years with a few dogs. It’s been great . One of my dogs had a recurring some kind of mite that made fur come out on her ears cleared that right up . I hated putting the oily product on the dogs neck. It’s expensive but we use it several times a year instead of every month so it works out.

FINALLY! Relief
By Dogmomma on Aug 11, 2021
FINALLY relief! My babies have been itching and digging because of an invasion of fleas! We tried everything from different sprays, topicals, collars and everything else. Treated the house, the yard and them. Nothing was getting rid of them or giving my babies relief. Until Bravecto! Wow! Incredible results, by the next day hardly any scratching! Dead fleas! It might seem expensive for just 1 chewable, but so worth every penny! We are so thankful to find something that works!
