BRAVECTO Topical Solution for Medium Dogs (22–44 lbs) FAQs

How long does BRAVECTO topical stay in a dog’s system?

BRAVECTO topical remains active in your dog’s system for up to 12 weeks, offering systemic protection against fleas and ticks. The active ingredient, fluralaner, maintains therapeutic levels in the bloodstream throughout this period.

Can I touch my dog after applying BRAVECTO topical?

Avoid touching the application site until it is completely dry, typically within a few hours. This ensures the product absorbs fully into the skin and minimizes risk of transfer to humans or other animals.

What should I do if my dog licks BRAVECTO topical?

If your dog licks the application site, monitor for symptoms like drooling, vomiting, or lethargy. While minor ingestion usually causes no serious harm, contact your vet for specific guidance.

Does BRAVECTO kill flea eggs and larvae?

BRAVECTO kills adult fleas, preventing them from laying eggs, which breaks the flea life cycle. It does not directly kill eggs or larvae but effectively controls reinfestation by stopping reproduction.

Can BRAVECTO be used with other medications?

Yes, BRAVECTO can generally be used alongside most other veterinary medications, including heartworm preventives, but always check with your veterinarian for potential drug interactions.

Can I apply BRAVECTO topical early if I see fleas?

You should not reapply BRAVECTO topical before the 12-week interval unless directed by your vet. Applying too frequently can lead to overdose or skin irritation.

How does BRAVECTO topical differ from BRAVECTO chewables?

Both deliver 12-week protection using fluralaner, but the topical is ideal for dogs who dislike pills or have digestive sensitivities. Chewables offer an oral alternative with the same active protection.
