#12Bravecto What to Ask Your Vet about Flea and Tick Control

Hi. It’s me, Cinnamon. I'm back writing about BRAVECTO® (fluralaner) that Francesca and I take. I can't even remember what its like to have fleas or one of those blood-sucking ticks. Can you?

Well, if you can, it's time to make that appointment with your veterinarian to ask about a flea and tick control that will wipe those horrible pests out! So what do you ask your vet? Here's a list so you will be prepared:

1. Ask what the latest research and products are. Things change so you might not even know about products like BRAVECTO®, the flea prevention I told you about in my last article. It’s a tasty chew and the only chew that kills fleas for 12 weeks with just one dose.*

2. Ask what product you should use. There are many types of products available. Your vet will want to know about your lifestyle and your dog's lifestyle and then take into consideration your dog's age and weight.

For example, sometimes it's an issue of your owner's lifestyle. Our owner is busy and travels here and there. Francesca and I both get our flea and tick prevention in the mail just at the right time when the dose is due.  Ask your vet if they work with a service that sends it out automatically.

3. Ask why some products are by prescription and which might be best for you. Your veterinarian can give you information so you can make a good decision. Prescription products have more in-depth safety and efficacy study requirements before they can be approved.

4. Ask what to expect. If you change to a product like BRAVECTO® will it be different? Is it OK to see fleas and ticks once in a while. Does that mean the product is working? Or, not?

I have more time to play because I just don't think about fleas and ticks anymore!

Remember, the sooner the better!
