Bravecto™ Extra Large 40-56kg Flea and Tick Spot-On
Overview
Bravecto™ Spot-On for Dogs delivers powerful, long-lasting flea and paralysis tick protection with just two applications a year. Using a unique topical formulation, the active ingredient fluralaner is absorbed into the bloodstream and reaches tissue fluids under the skin — killing fleas within 8 hours and paralysis ticks within 48 hours of application.
Each dose provides 6 months of protection against fleas and paralysis ticks, and 12 weeks against brown dog ticks. It also treats demodex mites, sarcoptic mange, ear mites, and prevents flea tapeworm infestations. Applied easily via Bravecto's clever TWIST'N'USE tube, no cap removal required.
Safe for puppies from 8 weeks (weighing at least 2 kg), and suitable for breeding, pregnant and lactating dogs. Available in five weight ranges from 2 kg to 56 kg. Recommended by vets and backed by over 340 million doses dispensed worldwide.

Dimethyl Ketone, Propanone, 2-Propanone, EINECS 200-662-2
Acetone is an organic compound derived from both natural and synthetic sources, commonly found as a colourless, volatile liquid. In pet food manufacturing, its primary function is as a solvent in the extraction or processing of certain ingredients, rather than as a direct nutrient. Acetone is not used in its pure, natural form in finished pet foods; any residues are strictly regulated to ensure safety.
Acetone is included as a solvent or processing aid to extract or purify certain ingredients during manufacturing. Its use can optimise ingredient consistency and ensure product uniformity, though it is typically removed before final packaging.
N,N-Dimethylacetamide, DMAc, Acetic Acid Dimethylamide, N,N-Dimethyl Ethanoamide
Dimethylacetamide is a synthetic organic compound derived from chemical processes, not from animal or plant sources. It is primarily used as a solvent in industrial applications rather than as a nutritional ingredient in pet food. When present, it is not used in its natural raw form but as a refined compound to ensure safety and controlled functionality within manufacturing processes.
Dimethylacetamide is included as a solvent or processing aid to facilitate the blending or dissolution of certain additives or nutrients during manufacturing. Its use optimises production efficiency and ingredient integration, though it is not intended to provide nutritional or palatability benefits.
Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol Polyethylene Glycol Ether, Tetrahydrofurfuryl Polyethylene Glycol, Polyethylene Glycol Mono-Tetrahydrofurfuryl Ether, PEG 400 Tetrahydrofurfuryl Ether
Glycofurol is a synthetic compound derived from tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, categorised as a solvent rather than a nutrient. Its primary purpose in pet food is to act as a carrier or solubiliser for certain vitamins or additives, enhancing their dispersion and absorption. Glycofurol is not used in its raw chemical form but is specifically manufactured and purified for safe inclusion in formulated products.
Glycofurol is included as a solvent or carrier to enhance the solubility and stability of certain active ingredients in pet food formulations. Its use allows for more uniform distribution of additives or nutrients, optimising product consistency and shelf life.
