Bravecto is a flea and tick treatment that is manufactured to handle the usual wear and tear of an active dog, including occasional baths. After the initial 72-hour period following administration has passed, your dog can certainly enjoy a bath. It’s always good to use a mild shampoo to maintain the skin and coat's natural oils. This won't affect Bravecto's efficacy.
