FDA Approves Merck's BRAVECTO QUANTUM Annual Flea And Tick Shot For Dogs

UNITED STATES, JUL 10 – BRAVECTO QUANTUM offers dogs 8 to 12 months of flea and tick protection with a single injection, improving convenience and safety, FDA approved on July 10, 2025.

  • On Thursday, July 10, 2025, the FDA approved Merck Animal Health’s Bravecto Quantum, an injectable medication that provides dogs six months and older with protection against fleas and ticks lasting between 8 and 12 months.
  • The approval responds to growing tick bite incidents by offering a long-acting alternative to monthly or quarterly treatments, requiring administration by licensed veterinarians who determine treatment duration based on local tick species.
  • Bravecto Quantum uses fluralaner, an isoxazoline drug, and Merck highlights its leadership in long-acting parasiticides that provide convenient, year-round protection through a single veterinary injection.
  • Merck cautions use in dogs with neurologic disorders due to potential side effects like seizures; advocates and experts advise pet owners to consult veterinarians to ensure safe, tailored use.
  • Vet clinics will offer Bravecto Quantum starting August 2025, marking a new standard in flea and tick prevention amid a national rise in tick bite-related ER visits and expanding Merck’s global presence in over 50 countries.
