Bravecto for Dogs - FAQs
How quickly does Bravecto Spot On start working and how long does it last?
Bravecto for dogs begins working within 2 hours of administration, and fleas on your pet will start to die shortly after. It continues to kill fleas for up to 12 weeks and provides up to 8 weeks of protection against ticks. This long-lasting protection means fewer treatments are needed compared to monthly flea and tick preventatives, offering more convenience for you and better coverage for your pet.
Is Bravecto safe for my dog or cat?
Yes, Bravecto has been extensively tested and is considered safe for use in both dogs and cats when used as directed. It's available in different formulations—chewable tablets for dogs and spot-on (topical) treatments for both dogs and cats. As with any medication, it is important to follow the dosage instructions based on your pet’s weight and consult your veterinarian if your pet has any pre-existing health conditions or is pregnant.
Can Bravecto for Dogs be used for puppies?
Bravecto Spot On is safe for use in puppies and kittens, but there are age and weight requirements. For puppies, Bravecto can be given once they are 8 weeks old and weigh at least 2 kg. For kittens, the spot-on solution can be used once they are 11 weeks old and weigh at least 1.2 kg. Always consult your veterinarian before starting Bravecto for dogs on young pets to ensure the correct dosage and timing.
