Bravecto Spot On Dogs

Long-Lasting Flea, Tick and Mite Protection for Dogs

Bravecto Spot On for Dogs offers convenient, extended parasite protection in an easy-to-apply topical treatment. Formulated with fluralaner, Bravecto Spot-On provides immediate and persistent activity against fleas and ticks while also treating important mite infestations.

A single application provides dogs with 6 months of flea protection and 4 months of tick protection, significantly reducing how often parasite treatments need to be administered compared with conventional monthly products.

Because Bravecto Spot-On is applied directly to the skin, it is an excellent alternative for dogs that are difficult to give tablets or chews to.

How Bravecto Spot On Dogs Works

Bravecto Spot On Dogs contains fluralaner, a systemic insecticide and acaricide.

After application to the skin, fluralaner is absorbed into the dog’s system. Fleas and ticks are exposed to the active ingredient after attaching to the dog and beginning to feed.

The product begins acting quickly. According to the current South African product information, the onset of effect occurs within approximately 8 hours, with at least 90% of ticks killed within 8 hours immediately following treatment and continued tick-killing activity throughout the treatment period.

Bravecto Spot On Dogs also kills newly emerged fleas before they can establish a continuing infestation, helping to interrupt the flea life cycle.

A single treatment has additionally been shown to prevent transmission of Dipylidium caninum, the flea-transmitted tapeworm, from infected fleas to susceptible dogs for 12 weeks.

Why Choose Bravecto Spot On Dogs?

Remembering monthly parasite treatments is easy to forget. Bravecto Spot On Dogs significantly extends the interval between treatments, with a single application providing six months of flea protection and four months of tick protection.

It also provides additional protection against important mite infestations, making it a versatile parasite-control solution for dogs. For dogs that dislike tablets or owners who prefer a topical product, Bravecto Spot-On provides long-lasting protection without requiring an oral chew.

Method of administration

Step 1

Open the sachet and remove the pipette immediately before use. The pipette should be held by the upper part of the tail base (crimped end) or by the upper rigid portion below the cap in an upright position (tip up) before opening it. The cap should be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise in one full turn. The cap will stay on the pipette; it is not possible to remove it. The pipette is open and ready for application when the breaking of the seal is felt.

Step 2

The dog/cat should be standing or lying with its back horizontal during application. Part the fur at the administration site. Place the pipette tip vertically against the skin between the shoulder blades of the dog or on the base of the skull of the cat.

Step 3

Dogs:

Squeeze the pipette gently and apply the entire contents directly to the dog’s skin in one go (when volume is small) or several spots along the dog’s dorsal line from the shoulder to the base of the tail. Avoid applying an excessive amount of solution to any one spot, which could cause some of the solution to run or drip off the dog.
