Bravecta is relatively new. This article says the active ingredient is "fluralaner, a new ectoparasiticide belonging to the isoxazoline group." Never heard of it.

Teddy sends his sympathy for Presley and Holly. He is highly allergic to fleas. I don't know what we are going to do this year because Frontline does not seem to do anything. We tried a couple other topical preventatives and Teddy reacted negatively to them.
We had a couple fleas last year. Rinsing Teddy in apple cider vinegar/water mix at the end of his bath helped.
I had never seen a flea in the first 42 - 43 years of my life. Now they seem to be a big problem everywhere.
