I just bought bravecto for both my dogs. This will be the first time I use this type of flea medication. I read a lot of reports about bravecto causing seizures and death. I am afraid to give to them now. Is bravecto truly safe? I do not want to lose my babies. Is there any reports from FDA concerning deaths with Bravecto?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Every medication has side effects and seizures is a side effect of this medication. It is mostly seen in unhealthy pets or dogs that already have seizures. If your pets are healthy and don’t have seizures, I wouldn’t be concerned. Kisses to your pups!
