Description
What is Bravecto?
Bravecto is the first oral chew to provide up to 12 weeks of protection against fleas and ticks. One chew provides broad-spectrum and long-lasting protection that starts to kill fleas within 2 hours and controls 4 tick species (black-legged tick, American dog tick, brown dog tick, and lone star tick). Bravecto eliminates current flea infestations and prevents new ones from developing for 12 weeks.
With one chew, Bravecto is easier to give and less to worry about for you!
Bravecto Chew
For: Dogs and puppies (over 4.4 lbs and 6 months of age or older)
Benefits:
• One chew is effective for 12 weeks - nearly 3 times longer than monthly doses
• Starts working within 2 hours to kill fleas and treat and control ticks
• No more monthly dosing, messy topicals or fussy collars!
• Tasty oral chew your dog will take as a treat
• Unlike topical applications, there's no need to separate pets after giving your dog Bravecto
How it works:
After giving your dog Bravecto, the medication quickly reaches tissue fluids under your dog's skin. When fleas and ticks feed on your dog, they ingest Bravecto and die.
Bravecto kills fleas, prevents flea infestations and kills ticks (black-legged tick, American dog tick, and brown dog tick) for 12 weeks. Bravecto also kills lone star ticks for 8 weeks.

Bravecto - skin/ pet savior
I have 3 dogs - in the hotter months, the dogs' skin becomes very irritated and severely worsened by the flea bites. With Bravesto, not only do the dogs not get bit, but their skin is not irritated as badly. Therefore, the dogs are not itching nor scratching - fantastic product

Amazing Product!
This is the best ever flea and tick preventative. I am the owner of 3 dogs and see absolutely zero fleas on my dogs. They eat it like a treat too and has no negative side effects. Can’t speak highly enough of this product!

Bravecto
Works great! Our dog doesn't have any fleas or ticks and she doesn't mind taking it.
-
Great product
This says it starts working in 2 hours and it definitely doesn't lie! In 5 hours I couldn't find a live flea on any of the dogs! I waited longer for the package to arrive than it said but it was worth it!
-
Excellent Product!
Bravecto works extremely well on our dogs! It helped us conquer a major flea & tick infestation last year! Our dogs are getting older but it was soft to chew and must of tasted great because they were happy to take it without any hesitation.

Bravecto
This works great and last the 3 months and sometimes longer.
-
Very effective!
Not only does this product work effectively to rid my dog of fleas, but it must be tasty because my dog ate it without any issue. I was afraid he wouldn't like it because I've tried Comfortis with him and while it works OK, it smells horrible and I have to grind it up in tuna juice or cat food to get him to eat it. I don't think it quite works for 3 months but we live in FL where the fleas are prolific most of the year. Also, though the price in general is expensive, it is cheaper here than other sites.
