How much does Bravecto cost?
Bravecto (fluralaner) is an isoxazoline flea/tick preventive from Merck Animal Health, used for flea and tick prevention (12 weeks per dose); topical version for cats. Here's what it actually costs in the US, and how to pay less.
Typical monthly cost
$12-$32 / month
Tier lows are international online-pharmacy prices (PetBucket, fetched); tier highs reflect typical US retail, a Chewy purchaser reported ~$80 for the smallest chew. One chew covers ~3 months, so divide by 3 for the monthly figure.
Bravecto price by weight
| Weight tier | Price | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| 4.4-9.9 lb | $34-$80 | per 12-week chew |
| 9.9-22 lb | $35-$85 | per 12-week chew |
| 22-44 lb | $40-$85 | per 12-week chew |
| 44-88 lb | $41-$90 | per 12-week chew |
| 88-123 lb | $49-$95 | per 12-week chew |
Label dosing (for cost context, not a recommendation): One chew every 12 weeks per the public label (one weight-banded chew per dose).
Why it costs what it does
Bravecto comes as: chew for dogs (5 weight bands), topical for cats/dogs; given at home. A few things set the price:
- No generic competition at our last check, so the manufacturer effectively sets the price.
- Dosing scales with body weight, bigger pets need bigger or multiple doses, so weight is the main price driver.
Cheaper alternatives to ask your vet about
Monthly isoxazolines (NexGard, Simparica) can beat it per-month on sale; generic fluralaner is not available in the US at verification. Buying multi-packs cuts the per-chew price.
Never switch, split, or stop a prescription on your own, bring these options up at your next visit and let your vet make the call for your pet.

How we verify these prices
Prices aggregated 2026-06-11 from public retailer listings (Chewy Rx, Petco, Heartland Vet Supply, EntirelyPets Rx, BudgetPetCare, PetBucket), GoodRx coupon pages, manufacturer pages, and 2026 vet-cost guides. Vet-administered injectables (Librela, Solensia, Cytopoint, Adequan loading) use published clinic-price surveys because the drug is not sold direct to consumers. Ranges are medication-only unless noted; exam/administration fees are flagged separately. Prices move, re-verify before publishing figures on a page, and show the per-item verified date.
