Bravecto Chewables for Large Dogs is a beef-flavored chew that protects dogs from fleas and ticks for 12 weeks. This Blue chew is dosed for dogs weighing 44–88 lbs (20–40 kg). Giving one chew every 12 weeks, or 4 a year, provides year-round cover.
The active ingredient is fluralaner, an isoxazoline that acts on the nervous system of fleas and ticks. It is absorbed into the bloodstream after the dog eats the chew and stays active for 12 weeks. Fleas start dying within 2 hours and ticks within 12 hours. Because it works from the bloodstream, it does not wash off when the dog is bathed or swims.
Give the chew with food or shortly after a meal. If the dog refuses it, break it into smaller pieces or give it in food. Give it in the correct weight band for full 12-week protection, and weigh the dog first if it is between bands. It protects against fleas and ticks only. It does not prevent heartworm or treat intestinal worms.
