New Flea and Tick Prevention that Works!

Just a heads up on two new products released this year that are working miracles on fleas so far. NexGard and Bravecto. They are a new class of flea and tick preventative sold by Merial and Merck respectively.

Bravecto was studied at 1000x label dose with no signs of toxicity to dogs so the safety is amazing on this class of drug. These are both oral products. NexGard lasts from 30-40 days and Bravecto has 100% efficacy for 3 months and 98% efficacy for 4 months against fleas.

Both products require a prescription and are FDA drugs. Costs range from $15-$24 per month.

Yes one Bravecto pill lasts 3 months for fleas and ticks.

It's an FDA Drug which requires a prescription from your veterinarian. In most states , the FDA requires an annual exam by a licensed veterinarian in your state before an FDA drug can be prescribed. If your dog has been examined in the last year by a licensed veterinarian then you should be able to get the product through them or get a script to purchase it from another company.

Topical products like Frontline and Advantage are EPA controlled chemicals which don't require a prescription.

Hope that clears things up!
