It also controls black-legged ticks, American dog ticks, and brown dog ticks for 12 weeks, and lone star ticks for 8 weeks. It is designed for dogs weighing 4.4 to 9.9 lbs dosed once every 12 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ2: How does Bravecto Topical work in extra-small dogs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e After application, fluralaner absorbs through the skin and spreads through the bloodstream. When fleas or ticks feed, they ingest fluralaner, which disrupts their nervous system by blocking chloride channels, causing paralysis and death. This systemic action stays active for a full 12 weeks from a single dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ3: Can Bravecto Topical be used in extra-small puppies?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bravecto Topical is approved for dogs and puppies that are at least 6 months old and weigh a minimum of 4.4 lbs. Effectiveness for the full 12-week duration has not been confirmed in puppies under 6 months. Always make sure your puppy meets both the age and weight criteria before using.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ4: Is Bravecto Topical water-resistant for extra-small dogs that bathe or swim regularly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Bathing or swimming at least 3 days after application does not reduce protection against fleas and Ixodes ricinus ticks. Simply wait 3 days after dosing before the first bath or swim, making it practical for extra-small breeds that are bathed frequently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ5: Is Bravecto Topical safe for breeding or pregnant extra-small dogs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adverse events have been reported in breeding females after use.
