12-Week Flea and Tick Spot-On Protection for Extra-Large Dogs
Product Description
Bravecto Topical Solution (Pink Box) is an FDA-approved, prescription-only spot-on for dogs and puppies 6 months or older weighing 88 to 123 lbs. Each single-use tube holds 1400 mg of fluralaner, the highest dose in the Bravecto Topical dog range, which absorbs through the skin into the bloodstream and gets to work when fleas and ticks feed. One dose covers fleas and three major tick species for 12 weeks, with lone star tick protection lasting 8 weeks.
Benefits
- 12-Week Flea Protection: Kills adult fleas and stops Ctenocephalides felis infestations from developing for a full 12 weeks from a single dose.
- Fast-Acting Formula: Fleas begin dying within 2 hours of application and ticks within 12 hours, giving extra-large dogs prompt relief after dosing.
- Black-Legged Tick Control: A single dose keeps Ixodes scapularis black-legged tick infestations under control for 12 full weeks.
- American and Brown Dog Tick Control: One application protects against American dog ticks (Dermacentor variabilis) and brown dog ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) for 12 weeks.
- Lone Star Tick Control: On top of the 12-week tick coverage, each dose also tackles lone star ticks (Amblyomma americanum) for 8 weeks.
- Water-Resistant After 3 Days: Bathing or swimming at least 3 days after applying does not affect how well it protects against fleas and Ixodes ricinus ticks.
- Safe for MDR1 Dogs: Tested and confirmed safe in dogs carrying the MDR1 gene mutation, which affects how certain medications are processed in some breeds.
- No-Spill Applicator: The Twist'n'Use applicator needs no cap removal, making it easy to handle even when dosing large, active breeds.

How to Use
Directions for Use
- Prescription Required: Federal law limits this product to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian only.
- Minimum Dose: One application every 12 weeks delivers a minimum of 11.4 mg/lb (25 mg/kg) of body weight per dose.
- Wear Gloves: Always wear gloves when applying and follow up with a good soap and water wash on your hands and any skin that made contact with the product.
- Open the Tube Correctly: With the cap tip pointing upward, rotate the cap one full turn to break the seal; the cap stays on throughout the entire application.
- Position Your Dog: Get your dog standing or lying flat with their back level and horizontal before you begin applying.
- Apply Along the Back: Separate the coat between the shoulder blades, place the tube tip directly onto the skin, and distribute the solution across one or more spots along the back.
- Avoid Run-Off: For extra-large dogs, spreading the solution across several spots along the backline helps prevent any excess from running off.
- For Dogs Over 123 lbs: Use the right combination of Bravecto Topical tubes as directed by your veterinarian to reach the correct total dose.
- Lone Star Tick Exposure: If your dog is regularly in contact with lone star ticks, shortening the dosing interval to every 8 weeks is recommended.
Disclaimer: This dosage information is provided by the manufacturer. Always consult your veterinarian before administering or adjusting any supplement for your pet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What does Bravecto Topical Solution (Pink Box) treat and prevent in extra-large dogs?
Ans: Bravecto Pink Box kills adult fleas and prevents flea infestations for 12 weeks from one application. It also covers 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 88 to 123 lbs dosed once every 12 weeks.
Q2: How does the Pink Box differ from the Blue Box?
Ans: The Pink Box contains 1400 mg of fluralaner, the highest single-tube dose in the Bravecto Topical range, compared to 1000 mg in the Blue Box for large dogs. Both deliver the same 12-week flea and tick coverage. Always use the tube that matches your dog's actual body weight for correct dosing.
Q3: My extra-large dog weighs more than 123 lbs. Can I still use Bravecto Topical?
Ans: Yes. For dogs over 123 lbs, the right combination of Bravecto Topical tube sizes should be used to reach the correct total dose as directed by your veterinarian. A single Pink Box tube alone is not sufficient for dogs above 123 lbs. Always confirm the correct tube combination with your vet before applying.
Q4: Is Bravecto Topical water-resistant for extra-large dogs that swim frequently?
Ans: Yes. Bathing or swimming at least 3 days after application does not reduce protection against fleas and Ixodes ricinus ticks. Waiting 3 days before the first wash after dosing is all that is needed, which suits the active outdoor lifestyle of many extra-large breeds.
Q5: Is Bravecto Topical safe for breeding or pregnant extra-large dogs?
Ans: Adverse events have been reported in breeding females after use. Safety in breeding, pregnant, and lactating dogs was assessed using the oral formulation. Always speak to your veterinarian before applying Bravecto Topical to any extra-large dog that is pregnant, nursing, or intended for breeding.
