If you own a small dog or a puppy weighing between 2 to 4.5 kilograms, you understand how crucial it is to keep your furry friend safe from parasites like fleas and ticks. Bravecto for Toy Breeds and Puppies (2-4.5 Kg) is a veterinary-approved, powerful, and long-lasting oral treatment designed specifically to provide your little companion with effective protection against these pests.

What is Bravecto for Toy Breeds and Puppies?

Bravecto is a revolutionary flea and tick treatment that offers up to 12 weeks of continuous protection with just a single dose. Unlike traditional flea collars or topical treatments, Bravecto for Toy Breeds and Puppies is an oral chewable tablet, making it easier and less messy to administer. It is designed to safeguard dogs from flea infestations and tick-borne diseases by killing fleas and ticks quickly and preventing future infestations.

Why Choose Bravecto for Toy Breeds and Puppies?

Toy breeds and puppies have unique health and weight considerations. Bravecto for Toy Breeds and Puppies’s formula for dogs weighing between 2 and 4.5 kg is specially dosed to ensure optimal safety and efficacy for these small-sized dogs. The chewable tablet is flavored to appeal to dogs, making treatment a stress-free experience.

Key Benefits:

• Long-lasting protection: Effective for up to 12 weeks, reducing the need for monthly treatments.

• Fast-acting: Kills fleas within 2 hours and ticks within 12 hours of administration.

• Easy to administer: Flavored chewable tablet for convenient dosing.

• Vet recommended: Safe for puppies aged 8 weeks and older.

• Prevents tick-borne diseases: Protects against Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and other infections transmitted by ticks.

How Does Bravecto Work?

The active ingredient in Bravecto is Fluralaner, a systemic insecticide and acaricide. After oral administration, Fluralaner is absorbed into the dog’s bloodstream and distributed throughout the body. When fleas or ticks bite your dog, they ingest the active ingredient, which disrupts their nervous system, killing them rapidly.

Unlike topical treatments that only protect the surface of the skin, Bravecto’s systemic action offers comprehensive protection by reaching every part of your dog’s body through the bloodstream.

Who Should Use Bravecto for Toy Breeds and Puppies?

Bravecto for Toy Breeds and Puppies is specifically designed for dogs weighing between 2 and 4.5 kg (approximately 4.4 to 9.9 lbs). This includes small toy breeds such as:

• Toy Poodle

It is also suitable for puppies starting from 8 weeks of age, ensuring early protection against parasites during their most vulnerable stages of development.

Safety Information and Precautions

Bravecto is generally safe when used as directed, but it’s important to follow dosage instructions carefully. Consult your veterinarian before starting any flea and tick treatment, especially if your dog has a history of seizures, allergies, or other health issues.

• Do not use Bravecto on puppies younger than 8 weeks or weighing less than 2 kg.

• Avoid using Bravecto in dogs that are hypersensitive to Fluralaner or any other ingredients.

• If your dog shows any adverse reactions after administration (e.g., vomiting, lethargy, diarrhea), contact your vet immediately.
