All 3 of my dogs are suffering severly from flea bites. I have not been able to afford flea medications until recently. Bravecto is what I will be giving them. Will this help with the severity of itching,and hair loss that they have suffered? I can't afford vet care so I do anything I can at home. Benadryl is all I have at this time. I make their wet food at home ( Chicken, sweet potatoes, oats, brown rice carrots, coconut oil) Salmon and grn beans. They are truly suffering and I can't help

Hi and thanks for your post! I am sorry they are suffering from fleas- that is no fun! Yes Bravecto will elimate the fleas and therefore help with elimating the itching. New hair will grow back once the itching stops and the skin heals. If you have Btavecto currently, then I would give them that. It lasts for 90 days too! Benadryl will help with the itching. Vitamin E is and a good idea to help restore skin health. Best to you!! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
