The 12-Week Revolution in Parasite Protection

For pet parents, keeping a dog safe from external parasites often feels like a monthly chore that is easily forgotten. Traditional spot-ons and tablets usually require 30-day reapplication, creating gaps in protection if a dose is missed. This is where برافيكتو changes the game entirely.

As a systemic insecticide and acaricide, this flavored chewable provides immediate and persistent killing activity that lasts for a full three months. Instead of twelve doses a year, your dog only needs four. This “ultimate” convenience ensures that your pet is never left vulnerable to the diseases carried by ticks and fleas, regardless of how busy your schedule becomes.

Why برافيكتو is the Essential Choice for Active Dogs

If your dog loves swimming, grooming, or playing in the rain, topical treatments can often lose efficacy or become messy. A chewable tablet eliminates these concerns entirely.

Proven 3-Month Defense for Medium-Sized Dogs

The برافيكتو 500mg chew is specifically formulated for medium-sized dogs weighing between 10kg and 20kg. It is a “proven” solution that doesn’t wash off or rub off on your furniture. Because the active ingredient works from the inside out, your dog is protected during every adventure. For dogs in Qatar, where the climate can encourage year-round parasite activity, having a long-acting shield is an essential part of responsible pet ownership.

The Science of Fluralaner: How It Works

The power of this treatment lies in its active substance: Fluralaner. This is a potent inhibitor of parts of the arthropod nervous system, specifically targeting GABA-gated and glutamate-gated chloride channels.

Rapid Onset and Lasting Power

Once your dog enjoys their flavored bravecto chew, the Fluralaner is absorbed into the bloodstream. When fleas and ticks attach to the host and commence feeding, they are exposed to the medication.

• Fleas (C. felis): Onset of effect begins within 8 hours of attachment.

• Ticks (I. ricinus): Onset of effect begins within 12 hours of attachment.

By killing ticks before they can transmit dangerous pathogens like Babesia canis, this chewable provides more than just itch relief—it provides life-saving disease prevention for a continuous 3-month period.

Broad-Spectrum Defense: Beyond Just Fleas and Ticks

While most people know it for flea control, the spectrum of this medication is impressively wide. It effectively targets multiple tick species, including Ixodes ricinus, Dermacentor reticulatus, and Rhipicephalus sanguineus (the Brown Dog Tick).

Furthermore, a single treatment has been shown to prevent the transmission of Dipylidium caninum (Dog Tapeworm) from infected fleas to susceptible dogs. By controlling the environmental flea population in areas where your dog lives and plays, it cleans up the “hidden” larvae and eggs that other treatments might miss.

Managing Flea Allergy Dermatitis and Mange

For dogs suffering from Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD), even a single bite can lead to intense scratching and skin infections. Because it provides such a rapid “knock-down” effect, this chewable is an excellent core component of a FAD treatment strategy.

It is also a powerful tool against mites. In controlled trials, Fluralaner resulted in the complete removal of Demodex spp. mites, the cause of Demodicosis. It is equally effective for treating Sarcoptic mange and Otodectes spp. (ear mite) infestations, restoring your dog’s skin health and comfort.

Dosage Guide and Safety Precautions

To ensure the “ultimate” safety of your pet, follow these guidelines:

• Weight Class: This 500mg dose is strictly for dogs weighing >10 – 20 kg.

• Age/Weight Minimum: Should not be used in puppies less than 8 weeks of age or weighing less than 2kg.

• Administration: The flavored tablet is highly palatable and most dogs will take it as a treat. It should be administered at or around the time of feeding.

• Storage: Do not store above 30°C. Keep in the original packaging to protect from moisture.

Pet Parent Tips:

• Always check your dog’s weight before dosing to ensure they are in the 10-20kg range.

• Treat all dogs in the household at the same time to prevent re-infestation.

• Bravecto is safe for use in breeding, pregnant, and lactating dogs.
