What is it for

In very small dogs, this product treats infestations of fleas (Ctenocephalides felis and C. canis) and ticks (Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, and Dermacentor reticulatus). The manufacturer claims 12 weeks of activity per application, thanks to the systemic nature of fluralaner, which acts on the parasite when it feeds.

It can also support the control of flea bite allergy dermatitis (FAD) in dogs sensitive to bites.

FAQ

How long does a Bravecto spot-on application last?

The manufacturer claims 12 weeks of protection against the indicated fleas and ticks with a single application. It works because fluralaner is systemic and reaches the parasite when it feeds on the dog.

What are the advantages of using a pipette in a dog weighing less than 4,5 kg?

It allows for treatment without making the dog swallow a tablet, which is practical for small or reluctant dogs. For the same weight range, there is also an oral option of 112,5 mg, should you prefer that method.

When should I switch to a different pipette?

Once the dog exceeds 4,5 kg, the correct dosage range becomes 250 mg, which covers dogs from 4,5 to 10 kg. Therefore, it is advisable to weigh the dog before each application.

Does it prevent ticks from transmitting diseases?

It cannot be completely ruled out, because the parasite has to start feeding to be exposed to fluralaner.

Have any reactions been described?

Rarely, erythema or mild, transient alopecia may occur at the application site. The solution is applied to a single point at the base of the neck, in front of the shoulder blades.
