It is always best to discuss all your dog’s treatments with your veterinarian as they are your pet’s health care expert.

Bravecto Chews are flavoured with a hydrolysed pork protein so they are suitable for most dogs. Check with your veterinarian before use if your dog has a food allergy.

Bravecto Chew may be used in puppies from 8 weeks of age and weighing at least ≥ 2 kg body weight. Puppies should be weighed regularly. Fast growing puppies that outgrow the initial weight band during the treatment interval may be retreated at 2-monthly intervals.

For dogs above 56 kg body weight, use a combination of two chews that most closely matches the body weight.

It is not necessary to use additional insecticides to control flea stages in the environment. In most cases juvenile life stages (eggs, larvae, pupae) present in the environment will mature to adult fleas over approximately 3 months. As they mature, the new adult fleas are killed before they lay eggs when they feed from a treated pet. Therefore, with just one dose of Bravecto Chew, all flea life stages in the home environment should be eliminated.
