Fleas and ticks are a cause of worry for every pet household. You do all kinds of things to get rid of them, but somehow they come back. Thankfully, there are a plethora of anti-parasitics such as oral treatments, topicals, sprays, shampoos, and washes available that aid both in the treatment and prevention of these pests.
Most of these flea and tick treatments require monthly administration; which sometimes gets a bit of a task to remember to dose them every month. To address this very issue, Merck Animal Health came up with a chewable treatment for dogs, Bravecto Chewable. The significant thing about this treatment is, it lasts longer than regular monthly treatments.
Bravecto Chewable: The Long-lasting Protection
Bravecto Chewable for dogs provides three times longer protection than regular monthly flea and tick treatments; i.e. a single dose of Bravecto Chewable will keep fleas and ticks away from your dog for 12 consecutive weeks.
Powerful Composition
Bravecto Chewable is composed of the active ingredient, fluralaner. The substance acts as ‘ectoparasiticide’ which means it eliminates the insects that live on or in the skin of your pet, such as fleas and ticks.
The ingredient kills these parasites by acting on their nervous systems. It blocks the movement of nerve cells which results in uncontrolled activity of the nervous system causing paralysis and death of the parasite in the end.
The active substance fluralaner kills fleas before they can lay eggs and thus diminishes contamination of the dog’s surroundings.
Quick to Act
Bravecto Chewable for dogs is a quick-action formula. This oral flea & tick treatment starts killing fleas within two hours of administration, achieves over 85% flea efficacy within four hours, and 100% efficacy within 12 hours post-treatment.
Bravecto achieves over 98% tick efficacy within 12 hours and maintains its effectiveness for up to 12 weeks. It is known to achieve more than 92% effectiveness for 12 weeks against Black-legged ticks, American dog ticks, and Brown dog ticks, and over 90% efficacy against Lone Star ticks for 8 weeks.
