Description
Bravecto Chews For Dogs 9.9-22 Lbs (4.5-10 Kg) contains 250 mg fluralaner per chew, calibrated to deliver a minimum of 11.4 mg/lb (25 mg/kg) body weight across the full weight range. Fluralaner belongs to the isoxazoline class and acts systemically by inhibiting arthropod GABA-gated and glutamate-gated chloride channels, killing parasites through the dog’s bloodstream rather than on skin contact. Each chew provides 12 weeks of flea and tick coverage for four tick species, with an 8-week window for lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum) specifically.
Recommended for:
Dogs and puppies weighing 9.9–22 lbs (4.5–10 kg), aged 6 months and older.
Indication/Coverage:
For dogs suffering from, or at risk from, flea and tick infestations, Bravecto Chews 9.9-22 Lbs (4.5-10 Kg) addresses the following parasites and conditions:
- Flea treatment and prevention: Kills adult cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) and dog fleas (Ctenocephalides canis) within 8 hours of attachment, with persistent activity sustained across a full 12-week dosing interval.
- Black-legged tick (deer tick) control: Treatment and control of Ixodes scapularis infestations for 12 weeks; this species is the primary vector of Lyme disease across the northeastern and upper midwestern United States.
- American dog tick control: Treatment and control of Dermacentor variabilis for 12 weeks; this species transmits Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
- Brown dog tick control: Treatment and control of Rhipicephalus sanguineus for 12 weeks, with efficacy confirmed at the adult stage at 48 hours post-infestation.
- Asian longhorned tick control: Treatment and control of Haemaphysalis longicornis for 12 weeks; an invasive species now established across multiple U.S. states, with efficacy confirmed at 48 hours post-infestation.
- Lone star tick control: Treatment and control of Amblyomma americanum for 8 weeks in dogs 6 months of age and older; fluralaner does not sustain 90% or greater efficacy against this species beyond week 8, and is not labeled for puppies under 6 months for this indication.
- Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD) management: Eliminates the flea populations responsible for triggering allergic responses in sensitized dogs, making fluralaner a clinically appropriate component of an FAD control strategy when flea source elimination is the primary objective.
- Environmental flea cycle disruption: Newly emerged fleas that feed on a treated dog are killed before producing viable eggs, interrupting reinfestation in the dog’s immediate environment.
- Reduction of tapeworm and tick-borne disease risk: Controlling flea and tick populations removes the intermediate hosts and vectors responsible for transmitting Dipylidium caninum (tapeworm) and tick-borne pathogens including Borrelia burgdorferi and Rickettsia rickettsii.
Key Benefits:
The following characteristics are drawn directly from the FDA-approved label for Bravecto Chews (fluralaner) 250 mg.
- Covers the full medium-small range: Labeled for dogs from 9.9 lbs (4.5 kg) through 22 lbs (10 kg), encompassing breeds such as Beagles, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and Miniature Schnauzers at typical adult weight.
- Five-species tick coverage: A single chew addresses five distinct tick species including the Lyme disease vector Ixodes scapularis and the Rocky Mountain spotted fever vector Dermacentor variabilis, covering the tick spectrum relevant to most U.S. geographic regions.
- Systemic isoxazoline mechanism: Fluralaner inhibits arthropod GABA-gated and glutamate-gated chloride channels, causing irreversible neural excitation and death in parasites that feed on the dog’s blood, without requiring surface contact prior to kill.
- Flea kill within 8 hours: Adult fleas are killed within 8 hours of attachment, limiting the feeding time available for flea allergy sensitization and egg deposition before the parasite dies.
- 12-week single-dose duration: One 250 mg chew covers a full 12-week protection window for fleas and four tick species, reducing the total number of annual doses required compared to monthly oral parasiticides.
- Oral format for coat-sensitive dogs: Administered as a flavored chew rather than a topical spot-on, this formulation is appropriate for dogs with dermatological conditions at the application site or in households where topical residue contact with children or other pets is a concern.
- FAD lesion resolution: In the U.S. field study, dogs presenting with flea allergy dermatitis showed measurable improvement in erythema, alopecia, papules, scales, crusts, and excoriation as a direct consequence of flea population elimination.
- Food-dependent bioavailability: Fluralaner reaches peak plasma concentration between 2 hours and 3 days post-administration. Reduced bioavailability in the fasted state means administering with food is necessary to achieve the labeled therapeutic concentration.
Caution:
Hazards to Humans
Bravecto Chews are not for human use. Keep the product in its original blister packaging and out of reach of children until the moment of administration. Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling the chew. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after giving the dose to the dog.
Hazards to Domestic Animals
Bravecto Chews are for oral administration only. The 9.9–22 lb variant is labeled for dogs and puppies weighing at least 9.9 lbs (4.5 kg) and aged 6 months or older. Dogs below this weight threshold or age requirement should not receive this tablet; consult a veterinarian before use in debilitated, aged, pregnant, or lactating animals. Fluralaner belongs to the isoxazoline class, associated with neurologic adverse reactions including tremors, ataxia, and seizures, even in dogs with no prior seizure history; use with caution in dogs with a history of seizures or neurological disorders. Adverse events following use in breeding females have been reported in post-approval surveillance. Verify any concurrent medication combinations with a veterinarian before the first dose.
Possible Side Effects:
Monitor your dog in the hours following administration of Bravecto Chews, particularly after the first dose.
The following reactions were recorded in the controlled U.S. field study (182-day observation period, n=224 dogs) and in post-approval adverse drug experience reporting to the FDA/CVM:
- Vomiting: Reported in 7.1% of dogs in the Bravecto field study group; the most frequently observed GI sign, generally transient and self-limiting.
- Decreased appetite: Reported in 6.7% of dogs receiving Bravecto, and absent in the active control group, indicating a product-specific association at this frequency.
- Lethargy: Reported in 5.4% of field study dogs; resolved without medical intervention in the majority of cases.
- Diarrhea: Reported in 4.9% of dogs; post-approval reports include bloody diarrhea in a subset of cases.
- Polydipsia: Reported in 1.8% of Bravecto-group dogs.
- Flatulence: Reported in 1.3% of dogs.
- Neurologic signs: Post-approval reporting includes tremors, ataxia, and seizures. These have occurred in dogs with no prior seizure history receiving isoxazoline-class drugs.
- Dermal and allergic reactions: Post-approval reporting includes pruritus, hives, swelling, erythema, and dermatitis presenting as crusts, pustules, or rash.
If any of these signs develop after administration, contact your veterinarian for advice and evaluation. The dog should be examined before the next scheduled dose if any neurologic or allergic signs have occurred.
Direction
Administer Bravecto Chews For Dogs 9.9-22 Lbs (4.5-10 Kg) orally as a single dose every 12 weeks. The chew should be given with food to ensure full fluralaner bioavailability, as absorption is measurably reduced in the fasted state. In households with multiple pets, separate dogs during and after administration to prevent one animal from consuming another's dose. Store any remaining blister-packed chews in a secure location inaccessible to animals.How to Open:
- Remove the product carton and locate the aluminum foil blister pack inside.
- If the pack contains multiple blister units on a sheet, separate the required unit along the perforation line.
- Identify the corner tab on the paper-backed foil lid and peel it back firmly and evenly.
- Once the foil lid is fully peeled back, press upward from the base of the blister cup to release the chew cleanly.
How to Administer:
- Confirm the dog's current body weight falls within 9.9–22 lbs (4.5–10 kg) on the day of dosing, not at a prior weigh-in.
- Remove the 250 mg fluralaner chew from the opened blister unit.
- Offer the chew directly by hand as a treat; in the U.S. field study, 80.7% of dogs voluntarily consumed the dose within 5 minutes.
- If the dog does not accept the chew independently, present it alongside a small portion of the dog's regular food; an additional 12.5% of field study dogs consumed the dose this way.
- If voluntary consumption does not occur, place the chew at the base of the tongue, hold the muzzle closed briefly, and confirm swallowing before releasing. Record the administration date and schedule the next dose exactly 12 weeks later.
Storage
Store Bravecto Chews below 30°C (86°F). Retain each chew in its original aluminum foil blister packaging until the point of administration; removing chews in advance offers no practical benefit and compromises the original packaging integrity. Check the expiry date on the carton before each dose; the stated expiry refers to the last day of the printed month. Keep the product out of reach of children and all animals.Tips for Using:
- Always give with food: Administer the chew at or around feeding time because food significantly enhances the systemic absorption of the active ingredient, fluralaner, into your dog's bloodstream.
- Ensure the full dose is eaten: Confirm your dog swallows the entire chewable tablet; if it breaks or crumbles, ensure they lick up every piece to avoid under-dosing.
- Never divide the chew: Do not split a larger dog's chew in half to save money, as the active ingredient is not evenly distributed and your small dog will not get the precise dose required for their specific weight bracket.
- Monitor closely for weight changes: If you have a growing puppy, track their weight to ensure they stay within the 9.9–22 lbs range for the duration of the cycle; if they outgrow the weight class, the treatment loses its protective strength.
- Verify your puppy's age: Only use this extended-duration chew if your puppy is at least 6 months old; it has not been proven effective for the full 12 weeks in younger puppies.
- Stick to a strict 12-week schedule: Administer a single chew every 12 weeks for continuous, year-round protection against fleas and most tick species.
- Shorten the cycle for Lone Star ticks: Tighten the dosing interval to every 8 weeks if your dog lives in or travels to areas with heavy Lone Star tick populations (Amblyomma americanum), as effectiveness drops against this specific species after two months.
- Keep administering through winter: Maintain the dosing schedule uninterrupted throughout all seasons, because fleas and ticks can survive indoors or during unseasonably warm winter spells.
- Watch for immediate vomiting: Keep a close eye on your dog for a few hours post-administration; if they vomit within 2 to 3 hours, contact your veterinarian to see if you need to re-dose.
- Conceal it if your dog is picky: Wrap the chew in a tiny piece of low-fat cheese or a pill pocket if your dog avoids it, but do not dilute it into a large meal they might not finish.

FAQs
1. My dog weighs exactly 9.9 lbs. Is the 9.9–22 lb chew the right size, or should I use the smaller variant?
The 9.9-22 lb chew (250 mg fluralaner) is intended for dogs weighing more than 9.9 lb. Dogs weighing exactly 9.9 lb (4.5 kg) on the day of dosing should receive the 4.4-9.9 lb chew (112.5 mg fluralaner). If the dog’s weight is borderline or uncertain, consult a veterinarian before dosing. Dogs weighing more than 22 lb (10 kg) should receive the chew formulated for the next weight range. Bravecto Chews are available in four other weight-based variants:
- Bravecto Chews For Dogs 4.4-9.9 Lbs (2-4.5 Kg)
- Bravecto Chews For Dogs 22-44 Lbs (10-20 Kg)
- Bravecto Chews For Dogs 44-88 Lbs (20-40 Kg)
- Bravecto Chews For Dogs 88-123 Lbs (40-56 Kg)
2. Is 250 mg of fluralaner safe for a dog at the lower end of this range, around 10 lbs?
Yes. The 250 mg dose is calibrated to deliver a minimum of 11.4 mg/lb (25 mg/kg) across the entire 9.9–22 lb range, including dogs at 10 lbs. In the FDA margin of safety study, dogs received fluralaner at 1×, 3×, and 5× the maximum label dose without clinically relevant adverse effects on organ pathology, body weight, or hematology. Dogs with a history of seizures or neurological conditions represent a specific exception; the isoxazoline class carries a precaution for this group, and a veterinarian should assess those individuals before the first dose.
3. My dog just crossed from under 9.9 lbs into this weight range. Do I switch to the 250 mg chew immediately?
Switch on the next scheduled dose date once the dog’s confirmed weight exceeds 9.9 lbs. Do not administer the higher-dose chew mid-interval if the previous smaller dose was given within the past 12 weeks. Weigh the dog on the day of the upcoming dose to confirm it has remained above the 9.9 lb threshold before selecting the 250 mg variant.
4. What should I do if I miss a dose and the 12-week window has already passed?
Administer the missed dose as soon as the gap is recognized, then reset the 12-week schedule from that new date. Do not double-dose to compensate for the missed interval. Any period beyond 12 weeks post-dose represents a lapse in flea and tick coverage; if the dog was in a tick-endemic area during that gap, examine the coat and skin before redosing.
5. My 15 lb Beagle mix is already on a monthly heartworm preventative. Can I add Bravecto Chews without a problem?
In the U.S. field study, Bravecto was used concurrently with vaccines, anthelmintics, antibiotics, and steroids without observed adverse reactions. Bravecto Chews do not contain a heartworm preventative component, so they can be administered alongside a macrocyclic lactone-based heartworm product without pharmacological overlap. That said, for any dog already on a prescribed medication regimen, verify the combination with the prescribing veterinarian before introducing fluralaner.
6. Does the 9.9–22 lb chew protect against lone star ticks for the full 12 weeks?
No. Efficacy against Amblyomma americanum (lone star tick) is labeled at 8 weeks, not 12 weeks. Laboratory data confirm Bravecto maintains 90% or greater effectiveness against lone star ticks through week 8 post-dosing, but that threshold is not sustained beyond that point. Dogs in regions with significant lone star tick pressure should receive Bravecto on an 8-week interval for this indication specifically.
7. My dog vomited about 20 minutes after swallowing the 250 mg chew. Was enough absorbed?
Fluralaner absorption occurs primarily in the first few hours post-ingestion, with peak plasma concentrations reached between 2 hours and 3 days. Vomiting at 20 minutes raises a legitimate concern that the full dose was not absorbed. Do not automatically re-administer; Consult a veterinarian to assess whether redosing is warranted given the timing and the amount of material retrieved.
8. Can I bathe my dog or let it swim shortly after giving the Bravecto Chew?
Yes, without restriction. As a systemic oral medication, fluralaner circulates via the bloodstream rather than persisting on the skin or coat surface. Bathing, swimming, or shampooing at any point after oral administration does not affect fluralaner concentration or its efficacy against fleas and ticks. This contrasts directly with topical spot-on formulations, where post-application water exposure within a defined window can reduce surface-level drug concentration.
9. Bravecto covers fleas for 12 weeks, but the lone star tick protection ends at 8 weeks. How do I manage both schedules at once?
If lone star tick control is a priority for your dog’s environment, dose on an 8-week interval rather than 12 weeks. This shorter interval maintains coverage for both fleas and A. americanum without requiring a separate product. Dogs in areas where lone star ticks are not prevalent can remain on the standard 12-week schedule and rely on the full flea and four-species tick coverage that interval provides.
10. Can the 9.9–22 lb Bravecto Chew be used in a 7-month-old puppy that already weighs 12 lbs?
Yes. The labeled minimum age is 6 months and the labeled minimum weight for this variant is 9.9 lbs. A puppy that has reached both thresholds, 6 months of age and a confirmed weight of at least 9.9 lbs, meets the criteria for the 250 mg chew. Weigh the puppy on the day of the first dose rather than at a prior check-up, as weight in growing dogs can shift meaningfully between appointments.
