Bravecto Chew
Long-Lasting Flea, Tick & Mite Protection
Bravecto Chew for Dogs is a long-lasting oral parasite treatment formulated to protect dogs against fleas and ticks for up to 12 weeks with a single dose.
Its active ingredient, fluralaner, is systemically active against fleas, ticks and certain mites. Fleas and ticks are exposed to fluralaner after attaching and feeding on the treated dog. This makes Bravecto a convenient option for pet owners who prefer longer treatment intervals rather than administering monthly parasite products.
Bravecto is registered in South Africa for the treatment and prevention of flea, tick and mite infestations in dogs. It kills both adult ticks and juvenile stages, including larvae and nymphs, and may also be used as part of a management programme for flea allergy dermatitis.
