Bravecto is a veterinary antiparasitic that protects dogs and cats against fleas and ticks for up to 12 weeks with a single dose. Available in chewable tablets for dogs and in transdermal formulations for dogs and cats, Bravecto acts quickly, eliminating fleas within 8 hours and ticks within 12 hours after application. Its active ingredient is fluralaner, which acts systemically in the animal's blood to eliminate parasites throughout the protection period. In addition to fighting fleas and ticks, Bravecto helps prevent serious diseases transmitted by these ectoparasites, such as ehrlichiosis, babesiosis and spotted fever. For cats, there are versions that also fight ear mites and intestinal worms. There is also a version called Bravecto 365, which provides annual protection with a single dose administered by the veterinarian. The practicality of administration and long duration make Bravecto an effective and convenient option for controlling parasites in pets, and should always be used under veterinary guidance.
