Bravecto is highly effective for protecting your pet against fleas and ticks but it is not designed to protect against worms.
- Bravecto provides up to 12 weeks of protection from fleas and ticks.
- Flea infestations can cause itching, allergic reactions, and even anemia in pets.
- Ticks can transmit serious diseases such as Lyme disease.
- It's important to use a separate product for worm prevention.
This matters because fleas and ticks are external parasites, while worms are internal parasites. For comprehensive health protection, you should use a dewormer alongside Bravecto, tailored to the specific needs of your pet as recommended by your veterinarian.
For professional advice tailored to your pet's specific needs, book a consultation with one of our veterinarians.
