Is BRAVECTO Right for Your Dog? #12Bravecto

As you have read over the last few months, we have been doing our best to protect Balty from fleas and ticks. As a pet owner, his health and well-being are always a top priority, because really, he’s just like one of our kids and that is why when our vet suggested BRAVECTO® (Fluralaner), we knew we were making the right decision.

Why BRAVECTO?

BRAVECTO is a tasty chew that provides protection from fleas and ticks for up to 12 weeks*.
BRAVECTO kills fleas, prevents flea infestations, and kills ticks (black-legged tick, American dog tick, and brown dog tick) for 12 weeks and kills lone star ticks for 8 weeks. That’s nearly 3 times longer protection than a monthly treatment.
BRAVECTO is FDA approved.
BRAVECTO is convenient. All it takes is 1 tasty chew for up to 12 weeks of flea and tick protection*.

BRAVECTO is not recommended for all dogs. BRAVECTO is approved only for dogs 6 months or older. This is because Bravecto is prescribed based on weight. Puppies under 6 months of age grow rapidly and their weights change too much over the 12-week treatment period.

Choosing the Right Tick Protection

I’m sure you are just like us when it comes to your dog and want to make sure they are protected. When it came to making the choice for Balty, I did some online research and I talked with our vet.

If your dog stays indoors most of the time, you may think that they don’t need protection, but they do. Both active dogs and couch-potato dogs are still at risk of exposure to ticks. As you can see, Balty is more of a couch-potato dog.

If you have a dog that swims’ swimming does not necessarily increase tick exposure risk but it does make it important to use a chewable form of flea and tick protection that won’t wear off from the water or post-swim bath.

How to Check Your Pet

Examine your pet for ticks after an outing. Part the dogs’ hair and ruff up his/her coat. Visually look for a tick (remember they can be very, very small), check in the ears and between the paw pads, too.

How to Talk to Your Vet About BRAVECTO® – #12Bravecto

As a pet owner, I know how important it is to do whatever I can to help keep our beloved Balty safe. When it comes to his health and safety, we treat him as though he is one of our kids. Just like we follow what our family doctor says about our kids, when we take Balty to the vet, we follow his recommendations as well.

Flea & Tick Prevention Is No Joke

Protecting Balty from the dangers of nature is something is important to us and that is why we believe it flea and tick prevention. BRAVECTO® is an FDA approved tasty chew that provides protection from fleas and ticks for up to 12 weeks* and it is also what our vet recently recommended to us for Balty.

BRAVECTO® kills fleas, prevents flea infestations, and kills ticks (black-legged tick, American dog tick, and brown dog tick) for 12 weeks. BRAVECTO®also kills lone star ticks for 8 weeks.

What to Ask Your Vet

What is new in flea and tick control?

This is important to ask because many products currently being used have been around for 10-20 plus years and you may not know the differences or benefits of some of the newer products. For instance there are now oral products that kill both fleas and ticks, and one product, Bravecto® (fluralaner) that lasts for up to 12 weeks* with just one tasty chew.

What product is best for my dog and my lifestyle?

There are many products available and your veterinarian is the right person to ask which product is best for your specific pet. Some products are easier to administer, dosed more or less frequently, have different types of side effects and even different expectations for efficacy. Feel comfortable asking your veterinarian to explain some of these differences.

Should I use a prescription product or just get a product over-the-counter?

Your veterinarian can explain to you some of the differences so you can make an educated decision. For instance, prescription products have more in depth safety and efficacy study requirements for approval.

What should I expect from my flea and tick control?

You may think your current product is not working because you see fleas and ticks on occasion, but should that be expected with the product you are using? On the flip side, you may think your current product is doing a great job because you don’t see ticks and fleas that often. But can you expect more?

Ask to get more information on BRAVECTO® if you are interested in treating less often with a tasty chew without compromising on safety or efficacy.

Protect Your Dog with BRAVECTO® (Fluralaner) #12Bravecto

Anne Younger Leave a comment

For as long as I have been a dog owner, and it has been a really long time, I’ve only ever had a dog get fleas once, and it was not a pleasant or inexpensive experience. Of course, we didn’t discover our dog had them until he was already at the groomer’s.

Since that day, I have learned my lesson and have done my best to protect our pets. Now that we have Balty, the dog who likes to chew up and eat everything and anything he can, I’ve been looking into the best and most efficient way to keep him protected.

I was recently introduced to a product called BRAVECTO® (Fluralaner), a tasty chewable extended duration flea and tick control that provides protection from fleas and ticks for up to 12 weeks*.

I love the idea of BRAVECTO because it is a ‘treat’ I can give to Balty and just like that, he is protected. Yes, all it takes is 1 tasty chew for up to 12 weeks of flea and tick protection* and it starts killing fleas within 2 hours and kills 100% of fleas within 12 hours. If you ask me, that sounds a lot better than dealing with a flea bath and everything else that comes with a case of the fleas!

With BRAVECTO we only need to remember just 4 doses a year* compared to 12 with monthly products – more gaps can mean more chances to see parasites.

Great Protection

BRAVECTO kills fleas, prevents flea infestations, and kills ticks (black-legged tick, American dog tick, and brown dog tick) for 12 weeks and kills lone star ticks for 8 weeks. That’s nearly 3 times longer protection than a monthly treatment!!

BRAVECTO is FDA Approved

It is only available from your veterinarian or veterinary clinic. BRAVECTO is approved only for dogs 6 months or older because it is prescribed based on weight. Puppies under 6 months of age growsrapidly and their weights change too much over the 12-week treatment period.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

The most common adverse reactions recorded in clinical trials were vomiting, decreased appetite, diarrhea, lethargy, polydipsia, and flatulence. BRAVECTO has not been shown to be effective for 12-weeks’ duration in puppies less than 6 months of age. BRAVECTO is not effective against lone star ticks beyond 8 weeks after dosing.
