Question: What is the difference Between Nexgard & Bravecto Flea Solutions for Dogs?

Both NexGard and Bravecto are oral medications used to prevent flea and tick infestations in dogs. However, there are some differences between the two drugs:

1. Active Ingredients: The active ingredient in NexGard is afoxolaner, while the active ingredient in Bravecto is fluralaner. Both target the nervous system of fleas and ticks, causing paralysis and ultimately leading to their death.
2. Age Suitability: The age range for which the two products are suitable differs significantly. Bravecto is considered safe for puppies aged 6 months and above, whereas Nexgard can be used for puppies as young as 6 weeks old and older.
3. Target pests: NexGard is primarily effective against fleas and ticks, while Bravecto also offers protection against lone star ticks and black-legged ticks.
4. Dosage frequency: NexGard needs to be administered once a month and that is why it comes in a pack of 3 tablets, while Bravecto needs to be given once every 3 months and comes as a single tablet.
5. Taste: Bravecto chews are tasty chews, while Nexgard chewable have a beef flavor.

The choice between NexGard and Bravecto may depend on your dog’s specific needs and medical history. Both Nexgard and Bravecto for dogs are available at Petsasa Pet Store.
