Bravecto

Bravecto is a veterinary-grade flea and tick treatment that offers long-lasting protection in a single dose. Unlike monthly treatments, one dose of Bravecto protects dogs for 3 months (chew) or up to 6 months (topical spot-on, for fleas). That means fewer applications, less hassle, and consistent coverage you can count on.

Available through The Animal Pharmacy with fast, reliable delivery, Bravecto for dogs makes staying on top of parasite protection simple.

Bravecto Chew for Dogs

The Bravecto chew for dogs is a flavoured, beef-flavoured oral tablet that most dogs take willingly with no messy application required. It works by rapidly absorbing into your dog's bloodstream, killing fleas and ticks on contact.

Best suited to:

  • Dogs aged 8 weeks and older
  • Dogs weighing 2 kg or more
  • Dogs with a moderate to high flea and tick risk
  • Pet owners who prefer a no-fuss, treat-style format

One chew protects against fleas for 3 months and covers key tick species found across Australia, including the deadly paralysis tick (Ixodes holocyclus), which is prevalent along the eastern coastline. Tick paralysis can be fatal if untreated, so reliable, ongoing protection is essential, especially for dogs in bushy or coastal areas.

Bravecto Plus for Dogs

For dogs that do better with topical treatments, or for households where avoiding oral medication is a priority, Bravecto Plus for dogs offers a spot-on alternative. Applied directly to the skin, it provides flea protection for up to 6 months and tick protection for 4 months, while also covering certain internal parasites.

If you're also managing your dog's broader parasite programme, it's worth exploring a combined flea and worm treatment for dogs to ensure full coverage year-round.

Bravecto for Small Dogs

Small breeds aren't left out. Bravecto is available in weight-specific doses, including options formulated for dogs from 2–4.5 kg, making it suitable for toy breeds and small dogs. Always use the correct weight range for your dog; your vet can confirm the right product if you're unsure.
