How Does Bravecto Chews Work?

Bravecto Chews contain fluralaner, an active ingredient belonging to the isoxazoline class of parasiticides. Once administered with food, fluralaner is absorbed into your dog’s bloodstream and distributed throughout the body.

When fleas and ticks feed on a treated dog, they are exposed to fluralaner, which interferes with their nervous system by blocking specific chloride channels. This disrupts normal nerve function, leading to paralysis and the death of the parasites.

Bravecto begins killing fleas within 2 hours of administration. Its sustained activity helps control new flea and tick infestations over the labeled treatment periods, depending on the parasite species.

Choose the appropriate Bravecto chew based on your dog’s body weight. Each strength contains a specific amount of fluralaner to provide the recommended dose.
