Gaps in protection can occur when flea and tick treatments are not administered at the correct treatment interval. Bravecto Chew, Bravecto Spot-on for Dogs, Bravecto Spot-on for Cats and Bravecto Plus assist with treatment compliance for an extended period with just one dose, offering you peace of mind.

With our pets living in our homes with us year-round whenever they come inside, they can bring with them fleas at various stages of the flea life cycle. Our homes are warm now all year round so fleas can continue to thrive in our homes even in winter. This is why you need to treat your pets for fleas throughout the year and stop the flea life cycle continuing.

The fleas that you see on your pet are only the tip of the iceberg. In fact, 95% of the flea life cycle actually exists in the environment as immature stages (eggs, larvae and pupae), which may be living in your pets home.

Once the immature stages develop into adult fleas, they will subsequently jump onto your pet, feed and die from the active ingredient of Bravecto. Bravecto kills the adult fleas before they can lay eggs to re-infest the pets environment.

Remember – it can take a minimum of 8 weeks to complete the flea cycle. Fortunately, just one dose of Bravecto will break the life-cycle, however, if there is a pre-existing flea infestation in your home, you may continue to see fleas during this time, despite your pet being treated.

You can help speed up the process by regular vacuuming, steam mopping and hot washing of any bedding where your pet sleeps.

When fleas are in the process of dying their movements become uncoordinated. This may cause a skin sensation which can result in increased scratching of the pet. However, this phenomenon is quickly resolved once the fleas are dead.
