Please please please DO NOT EVER USE THIS. Talk to us about natural, effective flea and tick prevention.
Thereâs a new chemical cocktail being pushed on pet parents, and itâs got me shouting from the rooftops: please donât fall for it.
đą Itâs called Bravecto Quantum, a 12-month injectable flea and tick treatment for dogs.
Yes, you read that right. One jab. 365 days. A full year of insecticide pulsing through your dogâs body. And guess what it targets? The nervous system, not just of fleas and ticks, but often of the dogs, too.
đ„ What is Bravecto Quantum?
Bravecto Quantum is the injectable version of Bravecto, part of the same dangerous class of flea and tick products (isoxazolines) thatâs been linked to seizures, tremors, unsteadiness, vomiting, and even death in thousands of dogs.
And now theyâve put it into a 12-month injection, which means:
You canât stop it once itâs in
You canât detox it out quickly
And if something goes wrong, you canât reverse it
Itâs a neurotoxin designed to paralyse fleas and ticks. But for many dogs, especially those with existing sensitivities, inflammation, or toxic load, it can have serious neurological effects.
â ïž Safe and Effective? Not So FastâŠ
The phrase âsafe and effectiveâ is thrown around far too lightly in the pet industry.
Safe for whom? A lab-tested beagle in a short-term trial? Or your individual dog, who may already be dealing with food sensitivities, itchy skin, vaccine damage, or whose health is already compromised?
Is It Available in the U.K.?
Yes, and hereâs the part most people donât know:
Bravecto Quantum has been available in the U.K. since early 2024, following approval by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). But it flew under the radar most pet parents have only just started hearing about it because it was only recently approved in the U.S. (July 2025).
đŹđ§ It was authorised by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate on 24 June 2024, under licence VM 01708/5091, and is available by prescription only through vets.

Now, vets across the U.K. are beginning to offer it as part of âpreventative care packagesâ alongside annual jabs and checkups. Thatâs why this is the time to speak out, before it becomes the new normal.
đ§ It Targets Nerves â Including Your Dogâs
This drug interferes with how nerve signals work, in fleas, ticks⊠and yes, sometimes in dogs too.
Iâve personally supported dog parents after reactions to Bravecto, Nexgard, Simparica, and similar drugs. The side effects can include:
â ïžChronic itching
âDisorientation or confusion
âHead tremors
â ïžSeizures
âSudden behaviour changes
âDigestive upset
â ïžLethargy and more
âOnce that shot is in, youâre stuck with it for a full year. There is no off-switch.
đ± Natural Alternatives Do Exist
You donât have to choose between fleas and chemical cocktails.
Supporting your dogâs internal terrain is the key. A clean, species-appropriate, low-fat diet reduces the appeal of your dog to parasites. Add gentle natural repellents, real food, detox support, and ditch the toxins and youâll be amazed at what the body can do.
â€ïž If Your Dogâs Already StrugglingâŠ
If your dog is already itchy, ye**ty, inflamed, anxious, or has had vaccines, antibiotics, or parasite treatments, this injection is the LAST thing they need.
I offer bespoke detox and healing plans to gently support recovery and help your dog thrive without the junk. No suppressing symptoms here, I look at the root cause and remove what doesnât belong.
