It’s close to the beginning of the month, which got me thinking about something. Whenever I see the commercial for Bravecto, the dog flea and tick preventative, I feel like I’m living in opposite land. First, I’ll show you the commercial.
So the commercial says since you only have to give your dog Bravecto once every 3 months, you have less to remember. Actually, I find it has the opposite effect. I’ve mentioned this before. Since it only does fleas and ticks, there’s something else I give her for heartworm, and since the vet wants them done on different days so we’ll know if she has an adverse reaction to one of them, I end up having to remember more. I always ask myself “hmmm, what do I have to give her this month?” As the month gets ready to change over, my brain starts flagging “Is it a Bravecto month? Is it a Bravecto month?”
It makes me wonder something. There have been reports of dogs having seizures after taking Bravecto. Is this because the owner messed up the schedule and gave the next Bravecto tablet too soon? Probably not, but it does make me wonder.
Personally, I’d rather just remember to do something once a month. But maybe I’m the weirdo.
