Can the TWIST’N’USE cap be closed after opening – for example if the pet runs away when it is about to be treated?

My dog weighs over 56 kgs – how do I treat him/her?
For dogs above 56 kg body weight, use a combination of two tubes that most closely matches the body weight.
Why does BRAVECTO Spot-on for Dogs last longer than BRAVECTO Chew? Is the dose very high/strong?
The reason BRAVECTO Spot-on for Dogs lasts longer is not due to the dose, since the dose in BRAVECTO Spot-on for Dogs and BRAVECTO Chew are the same strenght. BRAVECTO Spot-on for Dogs has a unique formulation which leads to differences in absorption when BRAVECTO is applied onto the skin compared to when it is administered by mouth. It is this difference that accounts for the extended duration.
When is it okay for me to pat/cuddle my dog after BRAVECTO Spot-on application?
You should wait until the application area is dry before touching the area.
How soon after using BRAVECTO Spot-on can my dog swim or be bathed?
While the product should be dry sooner, it is not recommended to wash or allow the dog to become immersed or swim in water within 3 days after treatment.
My dog is on medication for another condition right now. Is it okay to give BRAVECTO Spot-on for Dogs?
It is always best to discuss all of your dog’s treatments with your veterinarian as they are your dog’s health care expert.
How does BRAVECTO Spot-on for Dogs kill fleas and ticks?
The active ingredient, fluralaner is absorbed into the dog’s blood and tissue fluids. Fleas and ticks are killed when they feed from the BRAVECTO-treated pet, as they take up a blood meal containing fluralaner. Newly emerged fleas on a dog are killed before viable eggs are produced.
BRAVECTO Spot-on for Dogs kills pre-existing and new infestations of paralysis ticks within 48 hours of treatment, effectively killing >95% of paralysis ticks at 72 hours for 6 months. Treatment with BRAVECTO Spot-on for Dogs alone will not entirely eliminate the risk of tick paralysis. For paralysis tick control it is recommended that the product be used in conjunction with daily searching for, and removal of, any ticks found as the risk of tick paralysis cannot be entirely eliminated. Speak with your veterinarian for advice on tick searching and removal techniques.
Will BRAVECTO Spot-on for Dogs kill fleas that are already on my dog?
Yes – if the animal is infested with fleas at the time of treatment, adult fleas on the animal are killed rapidly and no viable flea eggs are produced. The majority of a flea population exists as immature stages (eggs, larvae and pupae) in the environment. An environmental infestation may persist for some weeks after initial treatment due to the development of immature stages and the emergence of adult fleas from the environment. As adult fleas emerge and contact treated animals, they will be killed.
Can dead and attached ticks be found on treated dogs?
Yes. Due to the way BRAVECTO works, dead attached ticks can be still seen on dogs following treatment. Dead ticks can be easily removed as opposed to live ticks which take some force to dislodge from the skin of the dog. In tick season daily searching for and removal of any ticks found is recommended.
Is it necessary to use additional insecticides to control flea stages in the environment?
No. BRAVECTO Spot-on for Dogs kills fleas and prevents new flea infestations for 6 months. As the majority of a flea population developing in the environment will emerge as adult fleas over this time, BRAVECTO Spot-on for Dogs will effectively control the entire flea population.
Can BRAVECTO Spot-on for Dogs be used in breeding/pregnant/lactating dogs?
Yes. BRAVECTO Spot-on for Dogs is approved for use in breeding, pregnant and lactating dogs.
Why does my dog scratch even more on the first day of BRAVECTO Spot-on for Dogs treatment?
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 dog. However, this phenomenon is quickly resolved once the fleas are dead.
Why do I see fleas after I have administered BRAVECTO Spot-on for Dogs?
Fleas can continually re-infest treated dogs – either from juvenile flea life stages that have just matured to adults in the household or from fleas that jump onto the pet when outside or visiting other homes. BRAVECTO will kill these fleas before they are able to lay viable eggs, breaking the flea life cycle. Also, as fleas die, they can move from the skin surface where they feed, to the tips of the hairs in the coat, making them more visible to the human eye.
