About Bravecto

Bravecto is a veterinary parasiticide brand by MSD Animal Health, offering long-lasting flea and tick protection for dogs and cats. Available as chewable tablets for dogs and topical spot-on treatments for both dogs and cats, Bravecto is distinguished by its extended protection period — up to 3 months from a single dose for most parasites.

The active ingredient fluralaner provides broad-spectrum protection against fleas, paralysis ticks, brown dog ticks, and bush ticks. For dogs, the flavoured chewable tablet is the most popular format, offering 3 months of flea and tick protection from a single dose. The spot-on format covers cats and provides an alternative for dogs that won't take tablets. Bravecto's extended duration means fewer doses per year compared to monthly treatments, reducing the chance of gaps in protection.

Pet owners choose Bravecto for the convenience of quarterly dosing rather than monthly. In Australia, where paralysis ticks are a genuine threat in coastal and bushland areas, reliable tick protection is non-negotiable. The 3-month duration reduces the risk of forgetting a monthly dose.

Bravecto products are widely available across Australian pet retailers. Poppy compares prices at 14 stores to find you the best deal.
