Bravecto Chew for Large Dogs (Blue) is a single-dose oral flea and tick treatment for dogs weighing 20-40kg. Each pack contains two tablets, giving roughly six months of coverage when dosed every three months. Suitable for adult dogs in this weight bracket, it's aimed at owners who prefer a chew over spot-on liquids or collars.

One chew delivers three months of flea protection and four months of paralysis tick protection, plus eight weeks against brown dog and bush ticks. The same tablet also treats demodex, sarcoptes and ear mites, which means fewer separate products in the cupboard. The active ingredient is absorbed systemically, so bathing and swimming don't affect efficacy.

Owners choose Bravecto for the long dosing interval — four missed monthly treatments becomes one chew every quarter, which suits households prone to forgetting. The palatable chew format also sidesteps the wrestling match that comes with topical applications.
