Flea and tick protection is so important for dogs which is why when I first heard about BRAVECTO® (Fluralaner) I knew it was a product I needed to find out about! Can it really be true? Flea and tick prevention for up to 12 weeks* with one tasty chew?

Visit Your Veterinarian for BRAVECTO
BRAVECTO is FDA approved and is only available from your veterinarian or veterinary clinic. As you know, I only promote products I actually use and/or believe in. I headed over to my veterinarian to get my own BRAVECTO because I think it is the perfect product for me. My veterinary clinic was happy to provide me with BRAVECTO and also recommends it as an excellent product for flea and tick prevention in dogs. Use the locator to find a veterinary clinic near you to get your dog’s prescription.
Only four doses per year
Because BRAVECTO provides up to 12 week protection, pet parents only need to remember to give their dog a dose 4 times a year compared to 12 times a year with most products! Less doses to remember equates to less missed or late doses, thus reducing the risk of your dog ending up with fleas or ticks. Each package of BRAVECTO comes with 3 handy stickers for your calendar to serve as a reminder when your next dosage is due!
One tasty chew tablet
No collars, no greasy fluids, just one tasty, beef flavored chew tablet and your pup is protected for up to 12 weeks*, which is about three times longer than a monthly treatment! Talk about a convenient option, and it is fast acting as well! 93% of dogs ate their chews alone or with food, and the tablets contain no grain or gluten if your dog is sensitive to those ingredients.
Tick control
No one wants a nasty tick living off their dog! BRAVECTO provides complete tick control. It will kill black-legged ticks, American dog ticks, and brown dog ticks for up to 12 weeks*, and lone star ticks for 8 weeks. Your dog can swim or bath while using this product and it will not decrease the effectiveness.
Flea prevention
BRAVECTO is amazing when it comes to flea prevention! BRAVECTO starts killing fleas within 2 hours of your dog eating the tablet, and kills 100% of fleas within 12 hours! If you’re wondering, “How can I get rid of fleas?”, according to CAPCvet.org, March 23, 2016, it can take months to rid a dog of fleas. The flea life cycle is long, and monthly treatments may leave gaps in protection allowing for re-infestation. You need a product like BRAVECTO that lasts for months at a time!

We have been selling Bravecto in our clinic since it was released. Good stuff, I use it with Glory as she doesn’t do well with the topicals. Great review!
Thanks. We love it. It works really well and no messy, greasy topical stuff to deal with, no extra collar, just perfect!
Looks like a great product. We never seem to be where there are a ton of ticks, so I don’t worry a lot. I have found one tick on each dog over the years. Yuck!
Lucky! If we didn’t have a preventative, we would be infested with ticks.
We all need protection from those buggies

We are loving this BRAVECTO. Just eat the tasty tablet and you are covered! No collar to fall off, no wondering if that greasy stuff is in the right spot, so simple and it’s working great for me!
I’ve been using it for Shadow and Ducky since last fall. It’s great not having to mess with topicals – and collars that don’t work anyway – and it’s easy! The natural stuff I was using last year just was not effective enough down here.
With our walking in the woods and tracking in fields, natural doesn’t do it for us either. We had never heard of BRAVECTO but are so thrilled about it. So far no ticks on me at all, and so easy to administer! Just love it!
It sure is the season for those pesky little boogers!
It is, but you kitties are house cats, so chances are slim you will get any ticks or fleas.
This is interesting. I hate the greasy drops too. Luckily, we don’t have a problem with fleas or ticks.
Paws crossed, but Mom has never even seen a flea for real and we want to keep it that way. Now ticks, they are abundant here and with our tracking in the fields, they are like magnets on us, so protection is important.
I can see where you definitely need that with the tracking you do, if the ticks are as bad there as they are in places here. We haven’t tried this type of product yet, but the convenience is definitely attractive.
It is so slick! We hate those collar types, won’t do that, and the greasy stuff, who knows if it is really in the right spot and all soaked in. This is fabulous, and even picky me ate the tablet right down! Bailie will be switching soon as well.
12 weeks? that’s great I wrote the name and the producer in my book and we will call the vet asap… I just had my common flea treatment but it only stays for 4 weeks… thanks for sharing a super product!
It’s available in Germany for sure. Our vet friend in Munich knows all about it.
Thanks for sharing about this new product! We have been using all natural on the girls for several years now…except when we are in the south in the springtime.
We don’t trust the natural stuff as we are in heavy tick country and often in the tall grass. This is working great so far!
Yuck is that a tick on your nose? I am never sure about feeding my dogs pesticides and 4 months worth at a time. I think I would be more comfortable with something given more often.
Yes, we were lucky enough to find a tick to pose for our post. We don’t like the topical stuff, so this works great for us. The best would be a way to rid the world of ticks forever so we wouldn’t have to worry about it.
Totally agree! Hate ticks.
I’m glad to see something that isn’t a topical treatment to put on your dog.
It’s controversial, some say ingesting isn’t good, but we prefer that over slimy stuff on our skin, or strange plastic collars. We need good protection with all our time in the tall grass and taking this tablet insures we have the protection.
We love it!
We are loving it too. It seems to be the perfect product for us!
