Bravecto Spot-On is a topical flea and tick treatment for small dogs weighing 4.5 to 10 kg. It treats flea and tick infestations and controls future ones. It starts killing fleas within 8 hours and protects against fleas for 6 months.
Its active ingredient is fluralaner, which acts on the parasite's nervous system to kill fleas and ticks. It kills newly emerged fleas before they lay eggs, which breaks the flea life cycle. It also kills paralysis ticks for 6 months and Brown Dog ticks for 12 weeks. It treats ear mites and sarcoptic mange, prevents flea tapeworm infections, and can be used as part of a strategy to control flea allergy dermatitis.
One application is made from the TWIST'N'USE tube. With the dog standing, part the fur between the shoulder blades and place the tip of the pipette against the skin. Squeeze out the entire contents in one or several spots. Repeat every 6 months. It is safe for puppies over 8 weeks old and at least 2 kg, for breeding, pregnant and lactating dogs, and for MDR1 deficient breeds.
