Bravecto for dogs: reviews about the drug. All spelling saved

Hello! One of the most common problems faced by dog ​​owners is parasites in the form of fleas and ticks.

I know this firsthand, because last year she herself was looking for ways to help her dog. As a result, a special tablet for dogs helped me.

For those who want to help their pets, I suggest reading reviews about Bravecto for dogs. This approach will provide a more holistic view of this tool and decide on the appropriateness of its use. Let's get acquainted.

Tablet for dogs against fleas and ticks MSD "Bravecto" - reviews

Catty Shark, Russia, Novosibirsk. Pill for dogs against fleas and ticks MSD "Bravecto" - The best protection against ticks today, the price justifies the quality. Advantages: protects, less harmful to the health of dogs and humans. Disadvantages: price.

Almost all of our wards in most cases come to us not in the best possible way, who have allergies and who have sores. That is, we have our own proven doctor, whom we trust 10,000 percent. Because he pulled a lot of animals from the other world. And treats the most difficult cases.

So it was this doctor that year that he began to actively transfer all of our wards to Bravektu. Since the most reliable and safe way from ticks. But we must understand that we do not have an organization, just a couple of people who volunteer to save. There is no funding, only there are people who help as they can.

Therefore, we cannot always allow everyone to provide reliable protection. Sometimes, from hopelessness, we give other drugs. And our statistics are such that neither a drop nor a collar helps as much as a bravecto.

And we still had cases on these drops. But I can’t always give drops to everyone, for example, for old and sick dogs that walk little by little, I still always wore a Kiltex collar.

And the most livelings drops from ticks and fleas Merial "Certificate". But this year I decided to transfer everyone to Bravecto tablets. Although it significantly hits the pocket. You need two tablets per dog per season, this is from 2500 to 3000 thousand, if you buy in bulk and it all depends on how much weight.

The problem is that you need to buy all at once. The certificate was refused due to its smell. And besides, my dog ​​is one of the sleeping in my bed. In the morning after the treatment, it was not she, but I woke up with a face swollen from allergies. Therefore, they decided to refuse.

In my life I have twice treated a dog for pyroplasmosis, it is very difficult. Do not want anymore. Moreover, all the same, the disease is not in vain, it hits the animal’s liver very hard.And then for the rest of your life you need to maintain the dog on a diet and prevention. Well, at least I had it.

So, the Bravecto tablet, as I said, is not cheap. It all depends on where to buy it and how much the dog weighs. The heavier the dog, the correspondingly more expensive.

On my large dogs, I mainly use packaging of 20-40 kilograms. I have only one small pitikh 15 kilograms, for her I buy a dosage of 10-20 kg.
It is very important to observe the dosage, otherwise there will be no sense from such protection, or it can harm the health of the dog.

This is how two packs of dog pills for dogs from ticks Bravecto, the company MSD. Boxes with different dosages.

I ask you not to draw white boxes on the rectangles, we just ordered the tablets in bulk, and my name is simply written there, so as not to confuse who and how much. Bravecto tablets are made in Austria.

Once again, I’ll make a reservation that we switched to this protection against ticks for dogs on the advice and recommendations of our veterinarian, who we trust 100%, he will not advise bad things. And now two years of experience with a huge number of dogs and we are pleased with the result. In my opinion, today it is the best protection of a dog from a tick.

Each weighing of Bravecto tablets has its own color. From 10-20 green packaging, from 20-40 blue. I don’t know the rest, since I use it only. There are 5 different weightings in total. The approximate cost of a Bravecto tablet from 10-20 kg is 1500 rubles, and 20-40 - 1800 rubles.

Prices are certainly not cheap. But they are worth this result. Moreover, one tablet is valid for three months. And you need at least two tablets in one season. Of course, it all depends on the region where you live. But I gave Bravecto tablets to my dogs on April 1, and today we have already had a lot of dogs bitten by ticks, among familiar dog lovers.

Beside the packaging, stickers are inside, so that the owner remembers when he gave and when the expiration date ends. Many stickers are glued into the passport. I have a Bravecto magnet on my refrigerator where the dates of the beginning and end of the action of the medicine are written.

As for the smell, it smells attractive to dogs and they eat it like a treat. There is no problem sticking drugs into the mouth, such as the same anthelmintic for dogs Virbac Endogard, which seems to have an attractive taste, but not all dogs eat it. And sometimes I have a direct problem of sticking it in my mouth to swallow the medicine.

To summarize, I want to recommend the Bravecto pill - a new generation of tick protection. And to bring all the pros and cons again.

Of the minuses, I can only say two.

• Price (high, but in theory, of course, justified, because treating a dog for pyroplasmosis is much more expensive). Especially at the beginning of the season, the hype and many veterinary pharmacies and shops tear prices.
• At the beginning of the season, sometimes there is a problem to find, quickly sold out.

But there are more pluses. I recommend and am satisfied. And for all our dogs and wards we will buy only this protection against ticks. Although expensive, the price is justified by the quality of protection. And this is not the case when you need to save.

Sunkiss. I apologize in advance for my categorization, but I consider these tablets to be EVIL! All dog handlers know that such drugs are poison! Even drops on the withers do not bear the benefit of the animal’s liver. And it is very mildly said.

But if drops can still be called a “light” option for the body, then these pills are a direct targeted blow not only to ticks (the remedy really works in this sense), but also to the animal’s liver ...

Dear dog owners, think a thousand times before using such pills, consult with veterinarians, dog handlers and only then make a decision! I will NEVER give a similar poison to my beloved dog!

I’m reading information in a group on Facebook. A band called Does Bravecto Kill Dogs? there are more than 33 thousand participants. People share their stories about how their dogs got sick or died after using Bravecto!

More than 5000 cases of diseases have been registered, of which about 300 are fatal! People, think a hundred times. before you poison your beloved dog !!!

Immorean, Russia, Moscow. Tablet for dogs against fleas and ticks MSD "Bravecto" - Bravecto - A killer, though not with insects ... Advantages: Only dogs eat a tablet for a sweet soul ... Minuses: Dog at death!

Want the truth? A month and a half ago, we and my husband's parents gave this drug (bravecto) to our dogs (Pomeranian spitz). Our dog, apparently because of its size (large), suffered the use of this drug, although to this day it is sluggish, but in general nothing. But the parents' dog has been on the verge of a month and a half!

Fortunately, they are doctors and take all possible measures to save the life of a dear pet! But for this they take quite a few physical and moral forces. The reviews they found on the Internet were also ambiguous and were inclined to believe that the device is an excellent remedy for ticks and fleas, which will solve all the problems of walking dogs during the period of activity of these insects.

By the way, in this situation, the veterinarians were powerless! So it’s better to think a hundred times before “testing” this drug on your pet! Better a collar from ticks or drops of "Bars". R.s .: Parents are still in shock and do not know what else can be done to save the dog ...

Ersel: If you go to the MSD website and read the instructions in the original (in English), then everything becomes clear. This drug was developed for America, by their order with a focus on their climate and inhabitants, to prevent the death of the inhabitants of the reserves (not just dogs, or rather not for dogs) from tick bites.

Ixodid ticks are not found on the territory of America, respectively, this drug looks like Ixodid ticks (which we have in abundance and they are the carriers of pmraplasmosis) practically does not work !!!! Therefore, if you gave a tablet of the vaunted Bravecto, and then it is ascertained that your pet was ill with pyroplasmosis, then this is not surprising.

It is important that it is not recommended even to give the drug to the animal with the indicated weight of the lower boundary, because while the drug is active, the animal loses 50 to 100 grams in weight, and if the weight is small and such a loss occurs, then there is nothing good about it. The fact that veterinarians evaporate this drug is also not surprising.

Well paid share! Not all vets are sucking in this stuff. Our example is not engaged in such nonsense.He told us that they were pressing, they were pushing me, yes, but he wasn’t advertising.

Small: I read a lot of reviews and want to tell my story, maybe someone will take it into account. I have a Pomeranian spitz weighing 3800 kg. Age 8 years. All 8 years we used drops from ticks of early spring to late autumn, in addition, we wore a collar.

I don’t believe any drops anymore. A month after the recovery, I gave the Bravecto pill, on the recommendation of a doctor. There were no symptoms, they ate and transferred well. Already this year, since early spring was eaten 5 days ago (March 8), again, Bravecto, everything is fine.

Ticks on wool and on the body have not yet been observed either last fall or now. After we suffered and almost lost a pet, there is no trust in any drops. We use Bravecto, but you are still afraid, but we hope that this is a more reliable drug. Better to secure the dog than to lose it. And everything is harmful, even nutrition.

Antiparasitic products Bravecto (chewable tablets for fleas and ticks) - reviews

Cherbinka: Our pet is already 7 months old. When he was 3 months old and had never been on the street - the question arose about protection against ticks and fleas. This is our first pet and we approached this very responsibly. The vet delivered all the necessary vaccinations for 3 months. and advised this pill. We didn’t fly headlong to buy, but first read the information on the Internet and consulted with the breeders.

While it was small and suitable in weight from 10 to 20 kg. - taken with a dosage of 500 mg of fluralaner. Now at 7 months, weight is 30 kg and tablets are even more serious - with a dosage of 1000 mg.

Description:

In the Urals, the situation with ticks is worsening every year, and therefore this was more feared than fleas.

The dog not only walks on the street in the city, but we go to the site outside the city, where we have already seen ticks in the grass more than once. My husband tried to handle 20 acres on his own with a purchased product in a gardening store. For a couple of months, ticks were not seen exactly, and then they mowed all the grass and dug it up. And when the time came to give the pill again (after 3 months) we were somehow calm and in no hurry.

And for this our favorite paid. It was our carelessness that nearly killed him. In time, they reacted and drove to the veterinarian, where they diagnosed Pyroplasmosis. It was a blow! It turned out that he caught a tick in training (training).

Thank God that everything is already behind. They put droppers, injections, injected medicine through a catheter. Saved the pet. In the veterinary clinic, we saw many such cases, so they brought the dogs and transfused them with the blood of another dog.

During treatment, they again gave a miracle pill. Although snow will fall soon, we will train 3 times a week or more and we will not risk it. Next we will give it somewhere in April.

ufo-59: Insidious bloodsuckers are waiting for the victim not only in the forest, but also in the dense grass, on the bushes. They especially like to guard people and animals in humid lowlands. In a hungry state, the tick is negligible, but after drinking blood, it becomes thick and noticeable.

I have two smooth-haired dachshunds, for several years we have tried different tick remedies and settled on French Bravecto tablets.

Unlike sprays, drops, and collars, Bravecto does not prevent the suction of ticks and infection by fleas. Having eaten a pill, the dog receives a dose of the active substance fluralaner into the bloodstream, which is retained in its body for 3 months. Bloodsuckers, having choked, are poisoned by this substance and die. Fleas do not have time to lay off larvae.

Fleas die after 8 hours, and ticks 12 after suction. That is, the dog can pick up ticks and drag them home. But the active substance prevents the infection of the dog with tick-borne diseases, affecting the nervous system of bloodsuckers (the tick is paralyzed and is not able to “spit out” poisonous saliva into the bloodstream of the animal).

Tick-borne season lasts from about May to October, so the dog needs to be treated twice during the season. I give the first pill at the end of April, the second at the end of July.

In Bravecto packaging instructions and one tablet. Also attached are stickers with the name of the drug, which, for example, can be pasted into the passport or into the wall calendar, so as not to forget the date of administration.

The tablet should be given to the dog before meals or directly with food. I put mine in a bowl with dry food, I ate without any problems. I did not find any side effects, although there are groups on social networks called "Bravecto killed my dog." I don’t know if this pill is so dangerous, or is it all the machinations of competitors and replicated hysteria. Unpleasant to read this. Manufacturers themselves do not recognize the danger of the drug.

Olga Leprechaun: Why am I disappointed? Bravecto test on three dogs. Advantages: easy to use, no allergies. Disadvantages: not enough for the declared 12 weeks.

I work in the veterinary field and learned about this drug immediately after it appeared on the market. An unusual form of use for our people - a tablet (from fleas inside? Is it always a collar / shampoo / drops?) - and the fabulous promises of the manufacturer (France) aroused interest. Particularly impressed were the good results obtained in the treatment of dog demodicosis - a formidable parasitic disease.

With the onset of the warm season in late April, I tested the drug in 3 of my wards.

Reasons why Bravecto chose:

This is cost-effective (unless of course you take spot-drops from foreign manufacturers) and reduces the likelihood of forgetting about the next treatment.

Having fed the drug to three dogs, I decided that if no one dies, I will recommend it to the masses. Moreover, Bravecto is allowed to be used even by pregnant and lactating women, which indicates an extremely low toxicity of the drug. After 2 months I can summarize.

Pros:

1. Everyone ate the pill voluntarily and with appetite, like a treat
2. Not a single dog (including an old woman) had any side effects
3. We survived May-June without grabbing ticks (the time of their greatest activity)

Cons: Actually, this prompted me to write a review - at the end of June, 2 months after giving the pill, a fatty, lively, more than active flea was discovered in Yorkshire! He was cut short, which allowed her to see. The flea somehow did not intend to die from fluralaner (the active ingredient of Bravecto). Or did not have time?

York lives in an apartment. Poodle and dachshund - in the country.So the grandmother reports a week that they itch! I was hoping mosquitoes ate))))) I’ll go and process them with drops. That is, for the declared 12 weeks, Bravecto is not enough!

The whole truth about the drug

Dog tick pills Bravecto quickly gained popularity in the Russian market. Still would! The Internet is simply full of positive reviews about the drug Bravecto!

Owner reviews are based primarily on ease of use - one chewable tablet and the dog is protected from ticks for as long as 12 weeks! The dog does not need to puff or smear, follow the dates, so as not to miss its next processing in a month.
Just fed a pill and that’s it!

Today we’ll talk about what is not customary to advertise.

Bravecto: harm or benefit?

You probably still don’t know that in the European Union they collect votes and sign a petition that will prohibit the release and sale of the drug for ticks “Bravecto”. Why did this happen? More than 5000 cases of diseases have been officially registered, of which about 300 are fatal!

At the moment, the following disturbing facts are known about the drug:

• There is not a single actual antidote that can quickly relieve intoxication or the development of anaphylactic shock.
• In Europe, the drug has been known for a long time, but a license certificate was received relatively recently (they refused to register it for a very long time) and most veterinarians opposed this drug, after which it surged into the Russian market.
• Initially, the English-language instructions did not mention ixodid ticks, and only after a short study did the annotation change.
• Before entering our market, the drug was studied for only 112 days.
• Many owners report vomiting after its use, blood and mucus in the urine. There is already evidence of several cases of serious illnesses, especially among puppies and mini-breeds. Data is on the K-9 forum.
• "Bravecto" is a centrally acting drug and, unlike drops on the withers, does not accumulate in the subcutaneous tissues, but circulates throughout the bloodstream, entering all organs and tissues. It does not scare away ticks, but acts after a bite, binding to a plasma protein. Part of the drug breaks down into metabolites excreted in feces and urine.
• There is no reliable data on side effects that are remote in time. The drug was tested in Canada, and in that area where ixodid ticks are practically not found.
• The effectiveness of “Bravekt” was reliably confirmed only within ONE month, and not 3 as stated, these data were confirmed, including by the drug development team, taking into account the peculiarities of our climate, the state of forests and the processing of hazardous areas.

Simply put, in our Palestinians, manufacturers are ready to confirm safety in only one month! And now even the doctors themselves recommend combining this drug with drops and collars.

The drug is an insecticide and does not have any contact, not repellent properties. In order for it to start working, the tick must surely dig in, unlike drops based on propaxur and permethrin, which reduce the activity of the crawling tick and prevent it from digging.

On the packaging of this drug arriving in the Russian Federation is the registration certificate of Kazakhstan! On the packaging and in the instructions it is written that the manufacturer: "Intervet" Vienna. Austria. But only the Russian division of the company is called Intervet LLC, being part of MSD Animal Health.(LLC "Intervet" Address: Moscow Region, Naro-Fominsky district)

So what happens, “Bravecto” is made in the Naro-Fominsk region? If so, then how can this explain the Kazakh registration and claims in Belarus?

Together with the limited time and number of animal tests in our latitude, given the inconsistencies in certification, the information on this drug is more than alarming. Thus, the drug “Bravecto” does not have certification of the Russian Federation and was only declared for the right to sell in the Russian Federation, therefore, the RosStandart badge is on the packaging.

Manufacturers attribute this to purely paperwork, but for certification in the European Union it took them several years, and there were a lot of objections about the advisability of issuing a certificate to them.

Pharmacodynamics of the drug

The effectiveness of the drug depends on the degree of its binding to plasma proteins. The less the drug binds, the greater the effect. The drugs are in the blood in two forms: bound and unbound.

It is an unrelated proportion of the drug that will have a therapeutic effect. Also, this part can be subjected to biotransformation and / or elimination. For example, the “bound portion” of the anticoagulant warfarin is 97%. This means that of all warfarin introduced into the body, 97% is associated with blood proteins. The remaining 3% (part unbound) of the drug is active, and can be excreted.

Protein binding may affect drug half-life. The connected part acts as a reservoir or depot, from which the drug is slowly released in the form of a free form. While the unbound portion is metabolized and / or excreted from the body, the bound portion will be released to maintain balance.

Only unbound fractions of the drug are metabolized in the liver and other organs. The more the drug goes into free form, the more it is metabolized. Those. The connected part is not active. The release rate depends on the chemical formula, in this case for a critical drop in concentration - 12 weeks.

The released substance is detrimental to ticks and babesias. As soon as the release occurs, it is excreted unchanged from the body. Continuity of the process provides the desired effect.

I find the studies (after test subjects euthanasia) of this drug are incomplete and unreliable (the results are convenient for the manufacturer). For example, upon opening 160 days after use, the liver was not tested for the substance (and was not tested at all).

After the autopsy, the weight of the organs of the dogs that received Bravecto was compared and not, that’s all that has been investigated on this subject (funny even though the weight of the substance in the tablet is 250-500 mg).

The conclusion that only 90% of the substance is excreted from the body (through the liver and kidneys) is just a manufacturer’s suggestion. The calculations were carried out according to a generalized formula from an extraneous source and are referred to in the research as “alleged”.

Fluralaner (active substance) belongs to the drugs of the isoxazoline group. This group includes many pesticides and herbicides, as well as insecticaricides. Moreover, in one work I read that this group of drugs has not yet been sufficiently studied.

I met several theses on the synthesis of new drugs of this group. They synthesized a bunch of them, and their properties have not yet been tested and are not known, they are only assumed. Thus, it is still a very crude and little studied product.

When using it, there have already been cases of serious illnesses of dogs, even death!

Reviews of real owners. Spelling and style saved

Review 1. “Want the truth?” A month and a half ago, we and my husband's parents gave this drug (bravecto) to our dogs (Pomeranian). Our dog, apparently because of its size (large), suffered the use of this drug, although to this day it is sluggish, but in general nothing.

Review 2. “We were persuaded by the veterinarian to give the dog this pill, the veterinarian assured that the pill was harmless (the dog was already old with kidney and liver problems). The effect appeared after 2 hours! Vomiting, the dog is bad !! And for a month now the dog has been eating almost nothing and is feeling ill, and the doctors do not really know what to do!

And they say that it SHOULD pass when the drug’s action ends (3 months !!!) Take care of your furry, do not give such drugs to small, weakened and sick animals. ”

Review 3. “I made a terrible mistake, I used this drug on my favorite Pomeranian spitz (the weight of the dog was 2200). Words cannot describe all horror! The result of use is esophagitis reflux, acute gastritis, and acute pancreatitis in a dog. A month and a half we fight for the life of a pet!

Treatment and examination of all of the above is much more expensive than treatment of pyroplasmosis!

Reading the admired reviews about “Bravecto”, the question arises: the people who write this constantly use this drug (given the fact that this tool appeared on the Russian market only 4 months ago), they have practical experience (if you consider that the manufacturer company monitored the experimental group for only 100 days, and what happened next no one knows) how much they paid for such enthusiastic reviews ???

Unfortunately, I learned all these details about the drug too late, when I already fed my dog ​​this abomination !!! If you love your pet, take care of it, DO NOT GIVE THIS POISON TO IT !!! "

For those who are skeptical of this article and who do not have enough arguments, who want to know more facts about the dangers of a pill for dogs from Bravecto ticks, I redirect you to Facebook. There you can easily find a group called “Does Bravecto Kill Dogs?”

In this regard, I urge the owners to be more careful and not to rush with the use of tablets for dogs from Bravecto ticks until enough time has passed, and data on its effectiveness and, most importantly, safety for use in various, including weakened, are confirmed or having chronic animal diseases.

Talking about the absence of remote side effects, in the form of liver disease, kidney disease and cancer, can be done no earlier than 5-6 years of successful use in the veterinary pharmaceutical market.

While there is no such data and long-term systemic studies have not been conducted!

Bravecto ...?

viscountess: I know from reviews from foreign sites that this drug is now No. 1 in Europe and the United States - both the vets and the hosts are very praising.

If the tick sits, then after a few seconds it already disappears somewhere - it falls, probably)).And at home they stopped finding these ticks! In addition, the quality of the coat is very different from the coat of dogs treated with a spray: even in appearance it is lighter, brighter and cleaner!

In addition, the dog is now constantly in the ponds, and bathe it more often - but the effect of the drug does not pass. The drug does not accumulate on the scalp, but in the skin cells. It is absolutely harmless to pregnant and lactating. It is produced by a very prestigious proven company. ... Maybe it was a fake?

And ticks can easily get into the most unexpected places, by the way! And just the way, such a drug.

Regarding the death of dogs, this can be found in reviews of almost any antiparasitic drug (whether it is a pill for worms or any remedy for ticks and fleas) because no one canceled individual intolerance and no one can foresee the reaction of a particular animal to 100%.

As for giving this drug to my dogs, I’ll think, but I absolutely do not like that these bastards will bite my dog ​​anyway, although they will be poisoned after that.

You know, what’s the most offensive ... My dog, walking every other day in the fields from mid-March, did not pick up a single tick there. A month ago, she shot a sucker on the face, which he picked up in the yard near the house. Our neighbor Khasyuk also picked up a tick in the yard and, as a result, the wig was in a rather serious form.

From the yard Sirka, which is constantly lying in the grass in our yard, the dog lovers take 10-20 pieces every few days and nothing. Once again I became convinced that the tick issue is purely for luck. You can remove 200 ticks and nothing, but you can only one and sailed.

And all the processing is also pure luck. It can punch on anything and everything at once. Next year I will seriously consider Bravecto. Already, there will be more feedback and experience from those who gave their dogs.

iNick: Such funny reviews by homegrown vets 😀

A productive animal, according to accepted terminology, is an animal from which products are obtained. Excuse me, are you going to milk your unfortunate pets? : hi_hi_hi:

About the "tick has time to bite." Find yourself a sensible veterinarian who will explain everything on your fingers if you are too lazy to search for information. The bite process consists of several stages, the first of which is called cementation. This is when the tick is fixed in the skin of the animal. He had already bitten, but he had not yet released the saliva with the infection into the blood. At this stage, Bravecto works - it kills the tick before the infection enters the bloodstream.

Kasey_c: Well, at least if the situation with the drug is really like that, there would be concrete cases, and not just warnings not supported by any facts.

Recently there was a topic that a person’s dogs were poisoned by food ... they did all the analyzes for dogs, analyzes of food, etc. That is, people proved that the reason for the poor health of dogs was in a particular feed. This is just an example of a situation.
Immediately I see just empty intimidation.

It is completely clear that the drug is far from a vitamin and does not add much benefit. Also, individual intolerance and individual allergic reactions have not been canceled. There are cases that dogs die from vaccines due to allergic reactions.

So really everyone makes a decision for himself. Fortunately, the choice of remedies for fleas and ticks is more than sufficient.

I repeat once again that this drug is not protecting. I haven’t tried it on my dogs yet (keyword “bye”).But I categorically treats him on the basis of unsubstantiated conclusions as well. Moreover, there are very good reviews.

But what confuses me personally with this drug is that the dog mites can and will bite anyway, and the places of tick bites are also very unpleasant and heal very nasty and for a long time.

Bravecto is a novelty from fleas and ticks. Verified personally. DOES NOT WORK!

qwertyui: Throughout the 16-year season I used bravecto (tablets) on two dogs of a one-year-old spanic and 12-year-old dachshund, the dogs lived in the forest all season, the result exceeded my expectations. A convenient tool, it works perfectly, there is a minus - biting tablets are obtained, the price tag is in Moscow time horse, two dogs four tablets per season.

This serum is very harmful, but unfortunately the only way to protect the animal during your absence).

And with ticks, this lottery is not all contagious, but somewhere in one in a million, and much depends on the dog’s immunity. So we buy all this chemistry, more for our own reassurance.
