What Makes Bravecto 1-Month Triple Different?

Bravecto 1-Month Triple adds a highly effective broad-spectrum monthly treatment option to the existing Bravecto portfolio. The Bravecto line-up includes many effective formulations. However, the new product brings fluralaner, moxidectin, and pyrantel together in a monthly chewable treatment.

This combination provides extended protection covering fleas, ticks, roundworms, hookworms, Demodex mites, heartworm prevention, and prevention of flea tapeworm infestations. Moreover, the monthly treatment comes with a highly palatable pork-liver flavour, making administration easy.

The treatment rapidly kills fleas within 12 hours of administration, and the long-lasting efficacy helps break the flea lifecycle, preventing further infestations. Plus, it provides effective control of pre-existing paralysis ticks within 24 hours of administration. It is also effective against Fipronil-resistant strains of fleas.
