Bravecto is the product name of the insecticide and acaricide fluralaner, which comes in the form of a chewable tablet for dogs. It is manufactured by MSD Animal Health (Merck Animal Health in the USA). Bravecto® is recommended by vets both for its effectiveness and convenience.
The Bravecto® Chew gives dogs up to three months of continuous protection against ticks and fleas, so pet owners have the peace of mind that these pet pests will be kept at bay. The benefit of Bravecto® lasting for three months or more is that it eliminates pests at all stages of their life cycle, and pet owners only need to remember to update their pets’ treatment three to four times a year.
