This speed is clinically important: fleas die before they can bite, which means fewer flea saliva exposures and dramatically reduced triggering of Flea Allergy Dermatitis - one of the most common skin conditions in Indian dogs. Bravecto also prevents flea population build-up for the full 12-week period, breaking the flea life cycle by killing adults before eggs are laid. For more on flea-related skin conditions, the blog on\u003cspan\u003e how to spot and treat skin infections in dogs  \u003c\/span\u003eis a helpful read.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTicks - including Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Brown Dog Tick, the dominant species in Indian cities), Ixodes ricinus, Ixodes hexagonus, Ixodes scapularis, Ixodes holocyclus, Dermacentor variabilis, Dermacentor reticulatus, and Haemaphysalis species - are killed within 12 hours of attaching and feeding. By eliminating ticks this quickly, Bravecto dramatically reduces the window for tick-borne disease transmission - Ehrlichiosis, Babesiosis, and Anaplasmosis - conditions that can be life-threatening in Indian dogs. For more on tick fever symptoms and how fast they escalate, the blog on\u003cspan\u003e tick fever in dogs - symptoms, treatment and prevention \u003c\/span\u003eis essential reading for every Indian dog parent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDemodex mites - which cause Demodectic mange, resulting in patchy hair loss, thickened skin, and secondary infections - are completely eliminated in controlled clinical trials with a single Bravecto treatment. Sarcoptic mange (scabies) and ear mites (Otodectes spp.) are also treated effectively.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTapeworm prevention is an additional benefit: a single Bravecto treatment prevents the transmission of Dipylidium caninum (dog tapeworm) from infected fleas to your dog for 12 weeks - since fleas that try to feed on a Bravecto-protected dog die before they can complete the transmission cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 12-week protection window means only 4 doses per year instead of 12 - dramatically simplifying your parasite prevention routine without any compromise in coverage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Are the Possible Side Effects?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBravecto is well-tolerated by the vast majority of dogs. Most complete the 12-week protection period without any reaction at all.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMild, temporary digestive effects - vomiting, loose stools, or reduced appetite - occasionally occur, particularly when the tablet is given on an empty stomach. Giving with food or immediately after a meal reduces this significantly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrief lethargy in the 24 hours after administration has been reported in some dogs. This passes without any intervention.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn dogs with a history of seizures or neurological disorders, fluralaner - like all isoxazoline-class drugs - should be used with caution. Neurological adverse events including tremors and seizures have been reported in rare cases in predisposed dogs. If your dog has ever had a seizure, this must be discussed with your vet before giving Bravecto.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllergic reactions to fluralaner are possible but very rare.

Always give at or around meal time - with food or immediately after - for optimal absorption and to reduce the chance of digestive upset.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMost dogs accept the beef-flavoured chew as a treat. If your dog is reluctant, offer it alongside or concealed in a small amount of food they enjoy. Watch for a few minutes afterwards to confirm the full tablet has been chewed and swallowed - not spat out or partially consumed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeigh your dog before every dose. Do not estimate. If your dog is close to a weight boundary - say, 4.3 kg or 19.5 kg - confirm the correct variant with your vet. Always use the tablet designed for your dog's actual current weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor continuous protection, administer every 12 weeks year-round.

Fluralaner then blocks GABA-gated and glutamate-gated chloride ion channels in the parasite's nervous system - these channels regulate nerve signal transmission, and blocking them causes uncontrolled, continuous nerve firing, rapid paralysis, and death.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe selectivity of Fluralaner is what makes it safe for dogs at these doses. It binds with far higher affinity to invertebrate chloride channels than to mammalian ones - the same channels simply work differently in parasites versus dogs, which is why the dose that kills a flea or tick is harmless to your dog.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBecause it works through the bloodstream rather than from the coat surface, it is unaffected by bathing, swimming, rain, or coat thickness. There's no topical film to degrade. Protection is consistent and complete from day one to day 84 - regardless of how many baths your dog gets or how thick their coat is.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFleas are killed within 2 hours of feeding - fast enough in most cases to prevent egg-laying, which breaks the flea life cycle and reduces environmental contamination. Ticks are killed within 12 hours - fast enough to significantly reduce the window for tick-borne disease transmission in most species, since pathogen transfer typically requires prolonged feeding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Safety Advice Should You Know Before Using Bravecto?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis product is for dogs only.

One tablet kills fleas within 2 hours and ticks within 12 hours of feeding, and maintains this protection for 12 weeks. It also treats Demodectic and Sarcoptic mange, ear mites, and prevents tapeworm transmission from fleas for the full 12-week period. Available in four weight variants from 2 kg to 40 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich Bravecto variant should I buy for my dog?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the variant that matches your dog's current body weight - always weigh before each dose, not just the first one. The four variants available on Supertails cover 2-4.5 kg (112.5 mg Fluralaner), 4.5-10 kg (250 mg), 10-20 kg (500 mg), and 20-40 kg (1000 mg). If your dog is at a weight boundary, confirm the correct variant with your vet. Never use a variant from a lower weight range on a heavier dog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow quickly does Bravecto start working?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBravecto starts killing fleas within 2 hours of being given and reaches over 98% flea kill within 8 hours. Ticks are killed within 12 hours of attaching and feeding. This speed is one of Bravecto's key advantages - fleas die before they can bite and lay eggs, which breaks the infestation cycle from the very first dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes my dog need to fast before taking Bravecto?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opposite - always give with food or immediately after a meal. Fluralaner's bioavailability is significantly higher when given with food, and the risk of digestive upset is lower. A full meal, not just a small treat, gives the best absorption results. Do not give on a completely empty stomach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy dog has had seizures in the past. Is Bravecto safe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscuss this with your vet before giving Bravecto or any isoxazoline-class product. Neurological adverse events including tremors and seizures have been reported in rare cases in dogs with pre-existing seizure disorders or neurological conditions when given isoxazolines. This doesn't automatically disqualify your dog from using the product, but your vet must assess the risk-benefit balance for your dog's specific history and severity before prescribing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I give Bravecto to my pregnant or nursing dog?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes - Bravecto is safe for use in breeding, pregnant, and lactating females based on available clinical data. This is confirmed in the product's prescribing information. Always inform your vet about every product your pregnant or nursing dog is given so they have complete visibility of her management during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is Bravecto different from a monthly spot-on like Frontline Plus?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpot-ons like Frontline Plus sit on the skin and coat surface - they can be partially reduced by bathing, swimming, and thick coats, and need to be reapplied every 30 days. Bravecto works from the bloodstream - it cannot be washed off, is unaffected by coat thickness, and lasts 12 weeks per dose. Spot-ons kill parasites on contact with the coat; Bravecto kills them when they bite and feed. Both are vet-recommended - the right choice depends on your dog's lifestyle, coat type, and bathing frequency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat should I do if my dog vomits after taking Bravecto?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your dog vomits within an hour of taking the tablet, contact your vet - the dose may not have been fully absorbed and re-dosing may be needed. Going forward, always give with a full meal rather than on an empty stomach. If vomiting is a recurring problem with oral medications in general, let your vet know - they may recommend a different administration approach or an alternative flea and tick treatment format better suited to your dog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"origincountry\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAustria\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"origincountry\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eName \u0026amp; Address of Manufacturer:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIntervet GesmbH Siemensstrasse 107 1210, Vienna Austria\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"origincountry\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMarketed by:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eINTERVET INDIA PVT.
