What Is Bravecto for Dogs?
Bravecto is an oral chewable flea and tick treatment designed to protect dogs from external parasites for up to three months. It works systemically, meaning fleas and ticks are killed after biting your dog.
Bravecto is often chosen by pet owners who prefer fewer doses per year without sacrificing effectiveness.
How Bravecto Works
Active Ingredient – Fluralaner
Bravecto contains fluralaner, an isoxazoline-class ingredient that targets the nervous system of fleas and ticks. After ingestion, fluralaner is absorbed into the bloodstream, providing consistent parasite control over its full duration.
Fast Kill, Long Protection
- Starts killing fleas quickly
- Eliminates ticks before they can transmit disease
- Continues working for up to 12 weeks
This extended protection helps reduce missed doses and improves compliance.
