How would you describe your dog’s personality? When Nikki is working she is very focused, enthusiastic, strong-willed and loud! She, however, also has a softer side and can be very affectionate and cuddly.
*What is her quirkiest habit? Nikki steals socks and gently carries them with her around the house. She often raids the washing basket and even open drawers and cupboards to find them.
[box type=”info” ]How does BRAVECTO® kill fleas & ticks? After the BRAVECTO® chew is administered, fluralaner is rapidly absorbed and distributed, quickly reaching the tissue fluids lying just under the skin. When fleas and ticks try to feed they take up small amounts of fluralaner with these tissue fluids. The fluralaner causes the nervous system of fleas and ticks to malfunction and it rapidly kills them. By 8 hours after treatment 95% of fleas are dead and by 12 hours after treatment 90% of ticks are dead. This efficacy increases to 100% within a few more hours, and is consistent for fleas and most ticks throughout the 12 week period. Visit www.bravecto.co.za to find out more
