Bravecto Spot-On for Dogs (44–88 lbs)

12-Week Topical Flea and Tick Protection

Bravecto Spot-On for Dogs (44–88 lbs), also referred to as Bravecto Topical Solution, is a powerful vet-recommended flea and tick treatment designed for medium to large-sized dogs. This spot-on formula provides up to 12 weeks of continuous protection with just a single application, making it a convenient and effective solution for busy pet parents who want long-lasting parasite control.

Formulated with fluralaner, an advanced isoxazoline-class ectoparasiticide, Bravecto Spot-On starts killing fleas within 2 hours and ticks within 12 hours of administration. It targets adult fleas and ticks by interfering with their nervous systems, leading to paralysis and death—before they can lay eggs or transmit diseases like Lyme disease and ehrlichiosis.

Tips for a Stress-Free Application

Applying a topical can be challenging for some pets. Try these tips:

• Use treats or toys as a positive distraction
• Ask for help if your dog tends to squirm or resist
• Mark your calendar for the next application in 12 weeks

What Ingredients Are in Bravecto Spot-On for Dogs and How Do They Work?

Fluralaner is a systemic insecticide and acaricide that inhibits GABA-gated and glutamate-gated chloride channels in parasites, causing paralysis and death. This mechanism allows Bravecto to not only kill fleas and ticks quickly but also maintain effectiveness for a full 12-week cycle.

Why Choose Bravecto Spot-On Over Monthly Treatments?

Many dog owners ask, "Why not just use a monthly flea and tick treatment?" Here's why Bravecto Spot-On for Dogs stands out:

• Less frequent dosing: One treatment every 12 weeks vs. monthly refills
• Better compliance: Reduced chances of missing a dose
• Sustained protection: Maintains therapeutic levels longer than most spot-on treatments
• Saves time and cost: Fewer applications mean fewer vet visits and lower annual costs

Bravecto provides the convenience of quarterly protection without sacrificing safety or effectiveness.

Are There Side Effects with Bravecto Spot-On for Dogs?

Most dogs tolerate Bravecto Spot-On well, but some may experience:

• Mild skin irritation at the application site
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Decreased appetite or lethargy

In rare instances, isoxazoline compounds like fluralaner have been linked to neurological effects such as tremors, ataxia (uncoordinated movement), and seizures. Always monitor your pet and consult your veterinarian if unusual symptoms appear.
