The Drake Center is now proud to offer Bravecto, a safe and effective soft chew that protects dogs against adult fleas and ticks for up to 12 weeks.
One prescription chew begins killing fleas in just two hours and ticks within 12 hours, helping to reduce your pet’s exposure to the diseases these parasites carry, such as Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
If your dog spends a lot of time outdoors, especially in grassy or wooded areas, he/she should be on tick control. While there are several products available to prevent ticks from attaching to your pet, including collars and topical treatments, Bravecto is the only oral medication available. The benefit of oral flea and tick control is that it prevents human exposure to topical application and it cannot wash off during a bath or while swimming.
For optimal parasite control, we recommend year-round Sentinel and Bravecto as needed for additional flea and tick prevention.
For more information about how the flea cycle works, please read our handout on Flea and Parasite Control.
