Method of Administration:

• Step 1: Immediately before use, open the sachet and remove the pipette. Put on gloves. Hold the pipette by the base or upper rigid portion below the cap in an upright position (tip up) for opening. Rotate the twist-and-use cap clockwise or counter-clockwise one full turn. The cap will stay on the pipette; it is not possible to remove it. The pipette is open and ready for application when the breaking of the seal is felt.
• Step 2: The dog should be standing or lying with its back horizontal during application. Place the pipette tip vertically against the skin between the shoulder blades of the dog.
• Step 3: Squeeze the pipette gently and apply the entire contents directly to the dog's skin in one (when volume is small) or several spots along the dog's dorsal line from the shoulder to the base of the tail. Avoid applying more than 1 ml of solution at any one spot to prevent runoff.

Treatment Schedule:

• For flea and tick infestations, administration at 12-week intervals is recommended for optimal control. The frequency and need for re-treatment should be based on professional advice and local epidemiological factors.
• For Demodex canis mite and Sarcoptic mange infestations, a single dose is applied. As demodicosis is multi-factorial, it's advisable to treat any underlying disease. The need for re-treatment for sarcoptic mange should follow veterinary advice.

Bravecto 500mg Spot-On Solution for Dogs 10 - 20kg (Single Dose) is a veterinary medicinal product and should be used strictly according to the following warnings and precautions:

Special Warnings:

• Parasites must attach to the host and begin feeding to be exposed to fluralaner, so the risk of transmitting parasite-borne diseases cannot be completely excluded.
• Unnecessary use of antiparasitics or use deviating from instructions may increase resistance. Use should be based on confirmed parasitic species, burden, or infestation risk.
• Consider that other animals in the household can be a source of re-infection and treat them accordingly.

Precautions for Safe Use in Target Species:

• Avoid contact with the animal's eyes. Do not apply directly onto skin lesions.
• Do not wash or allow the dog to become immersed in water or swim within 3 days after treatment.
• Do not use on puppies less than 8 weeks old and/or dogs weighing less than 2 kg.
