Wow! No more topical applications! Finally a flea preventative that’s as effective at preventing fleas and ticks withOUT the grease and mess!

Bravecto is a chewable tablet, made for dogs only, that provides protection against fleas and four species of ticks for up to 12 weeks. Bravecto starts killing preexisting fleas within 2 hours, and ticks within 12 hours of administration. Any newcomers that latch on will be killed within 24 hours.

For those of us who are not fond of the topical flea and tick products, Bravecto is a great alternative. No more greasy mess on our dog’s back, or worry about the children petting the dog and having the product on their hands. Bathing or swimming will not get in the way of their prevention either with an oral preventive
