Can too much Bravecto harm my dog?

I recently gave my dog her Bravecto dose and then realized I might have accidentally given more than recommended. I'm a bit worried about whether too much could harm her in any way. Could an overdose cause any serious health issues, or should I monitor her for specific signs?

Answer

If you've accidentally given your dog more Bravecto than recommended, it's important to monitor her for signs of overdose and consult a vet if you notice any concerning symptoms.

  • Vomiting or diarrhea
  • Increased salivation
  • Lethargy or restlessness
  • Tremors or seizures

Bravecto (fluralaner) is generally safe when used as directed, but an overdose could potentially result in the symptoms listed above due to the high concentration of the active ingredient. Keeping a close eye on your dog and contacting a veterinary professional if symptoms occur is crucial to ensure her safety.

For any immediate concerns or personalized advice, it's best to book a consultation with Dial A Vet for real-time assistance from a licensed veterinarian.
