Safe to use Bravecto on dog after recent Advantage Multi application?

Hello, sorry to hear about Brody. Bravecto has not been associated with any drug interactions, including any other topical flea medications. I would wait at least 2 weeks after your applied the Hearts medication before giving him the Bravecto. In addition to the extra flea preventative, you should also consider treating your environment for fleas. This includes washing bedding, vacuuming, and washing any clothing Brody may have direct contact with. This will hopefully reduce the flea burden in your environment to help you get control of the fleas. Only about 5% of the flea problem is what we see on our pets, the rest of the problem lies in our environment as eggs and immature life stages of fleas. When vacuuming, remember to not reuse the same vacuum bag. When spraying your environment with insecticide, remember to use products that are safe for pets and even then, if possible, remove them from the environment for 1-2 hours. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Hi there! Both are quite safe and effective in my experience. Bravecto covers fleas and ticks, while Advantage Multi covers heartworms, intestinal parasites, and fleas. You could use either one (or both) depending on what you need in your area.

Hi and thanks for your request. The two products are based on different active molecules which are not know to interact after 3 weeks from last application. Yes, bravecto can be given relatively safely even though the correct administration should be after 4 weeks

Hello. I would err on the side of safety & separate these products by two weeks. Some dogs have a gene mutation called MDR1 that can cause a problem if more than 1 medication is administered too close together. Some breeds need more caution than others ( like collie & collie-like dogs ), but it is best just to be cautious. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

You can use both products, but I do not recommend applying them both at the same time. If needed for additional flea control, you can space out the applications two weeks apart. However, I feel like both of these products have excellent flea protection and 2 different types of topicals are often not needed to control fleas.

1 flea bite can make an allergic dog itch for several weeks so you may need medicine to treat the itching while the fleas get under control. You can administer the bravecto at any point when you remove the collar. A good bath will help also

These are different drugs and do not negatively interact, so it's OK to give the Bravecto, but it may be unnecessary. Sometimes owners will still see fleas and ticks on their dogs, but they are dead. I recommend checking to see if they are truly alive before giving the Bravecto. I also recommend reading the article at the link below it is fleas that you are treating. https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-tips-to-get-rid-of-fleas/ I hope that helps and all is well with Quincy.
