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. Bravecto Topical Solution for Cats kills 100% of fleas within 8 hours. Apply Bravecto Topical Solution for Cats to the base of the skull for full-body protection for 12 weeks. Bravecto Topical Solution for Cats kills fleas, prevents flea infestations, and kills ticks (black-legged tick) for 12 weeks. Bravecto Topical Solution for Cats also kills American dog ticks for 8 weeks.
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.
Will Bravecto kill ticks and fleas that are already on my dog or cat?
Yes.
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.
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., and Bravecto Topical for Cats is vet recommended for kittens and cats 6 months of age or older who weigh at least 2.6 lbs.

Cautions for short-haired dogs
By Britty on Oct 29, 2021
I appreciate Bravecto's effectiveness. I'm forced to use the topical version for our pit bull; she detests the oral no matter how much effort and cleverness I devote to getting it down her throat. She has very short fur. It's more challenging administering topical to her than it was for our longer-furred dogs. Today she immediately shook off the topical, spraying droplets in a 4 foot radius on the kitchen floor. What I learned today is that for her next dose I will 1) administer it outdoors 2) cover the administered area with Saran wrap for a minute or so, to let as much as possible absorb before she attempts to shake it all off 3) wear rubber gloves If you have other I appreciate Bravecto's effectiveness.

It works great
By Furbaby on Nov 18, 2020
My mystery pup has really bad allergies to fleas. This flea med has been great for us, works better than the other product we have used in years. I give it 4/5 stars because it is still a chemical. 3 months of protection is great, but I still don't like chemicals.

Thought it was the chew tab
By JenSolo on Sep 7, 2020
I thought i ordered the chew tab, but I received the drops to apply externally. My 3 year-old Lab-collie mix is not the dog for external application products! Let's just say I think more product got on me than on him. I don't remember the listing differentiating between chewable tab and drops, and I did not know there was a choice. In the past, I only purchased the tabs from my Vet.

Did not take fleas off in 12 hours or ever! Very disappointed with this product. I thought it may work after a few days and more fleas came on.

So easy to order
By Gracie on Mar 15, 2020
My dog will not eat the bravecto chewies so the vet recommended this item. It last for 3 months and isn't greasy like the others on the market. Also my little girl had no itching or reaction to the application site. This is my second purchase of this item and for the first 3 months no ticks!

The Best I have Found for Flea Allergies
By Lulu on Feb 20, 2020
Bravecto was recommended by an animal dermatologist who was trying to get to the bottom of a long-term skin problem with my dog. She was treated for extreme allergic reactions to any exposure to fleas with a term of Prednisone, and antibiotics. Bravecto has made a big difference in keeping those fleas away. I like that it is every 3 months too so the price is actually very good when you consider it is like buying 3 of the monthly flea treatments.
