We love the great outdoors, and so do our dogs! We like nothing better than taking our dogs on outdoor adventures like hiking, camping, or going to the beach. They love to run through bushes, swim in lakes & ponds, hunt for critters in tall grass, and roll around in wet sand by the ocean.

With all that time outdoors comes the threat of fleas and ticks, they’re unavoidable! Whether your dogs have outdoor adventures far from home or right in your own backyard, flea prevention and tick control is important for their health and safety!

It's important to make sure our dogs are protected from fleas and ticks year round. Using a messy, oily topical treatment every month isn't very convenient. It's no fun having to make the dog sit still while you clumsily apply it without getting it all over your hands, either! There's got to be a better way to protect our dogs from fleas and ticks, right? There is!

I’m really excited about the extended flea and tick control BRAVECTO chews provide! I was happy to learn that BRAVECTO is made by Merck, one of the largest and most
trusted pharmaceutical companies in the world.
Most of us know that Merck Pharmaceutical produces medications that improve the health and well being of people, but did you know that Merck is also a global leader in the research, development, and manufacturing of veterinary medicines?
We all want to be diligent about
the health of our pets, using products that are both effective and safe for them is vitally important. It gives me peace of
mind to know that BRAVECTO is made by Merck. It's FDA approved (for dogs over 6 months) and Vet recommended. I have confidence that BRAVECTO is not only effective, it's also safe to use on my dogs!

| Hiking is one of our favorite activities to do with our dogs. Flea & tick protection is a must! |
The fact
that BRAVECTO comes in a tasty chew, is fast acting, and only needs to be
administered every 3 months is a huge convenience. Compared to a messy topical treatment that needs
to be applied every month, I think it’s a big improvement in controlling fleas and ticks!
If you're wondering "How can I get rid of fleas?", ask your Veterinarian about BRAVECTO, the tasty chew that offers up to 12 week protection against fleas and ticks.
