FOR DOGS

Bravecto Chew is available from veterinarians and leading pet retailers.

Bravecto Chew provides long-lasting protection against fleas and ticks on dogs with  just one dose.

For flea and paralysis tick protection give Bravecto Chew every 3 months. That is only 4 times a year!

For paralysis ticks control it is recommended that Bravecto be used in conjunction with daily searching for and removal of any ticks found as the risk of tick paralysis cannot be entirely eliminated. Speak with your veterinarian for advice on tick searching and removal techniques.

Bravecto Chew is available in one and two chew packs across five weight band sizes ranging from 2 kg to 56 kg. For dogs over 56 kg use a combination of two chews that most closely matches the body weight.

Yes. Due to the way Bravecto Chew works, dead attached ticks can be still seen on animals following treatment. Dead ticks can be easily removed as opposed to live ticks which take some force to dislodge from the skin of the animals. In tick season daily searching for and removal of any ticks found is recommended. 

It is not necessary to use additional insecticides to control flea stages in the environment.  In most cases juvenile life stages (eggs, larvae, pupae) present in the environment will mature to adult fleas over approximately 3 months. As they mature, the new adult fleas are killed before they lay eggs when they get on a treated. Therefore, with just one dose of Bravecto Chew, all flea life stages in the home environment should be eliminated.
