How is Bravecto different from other chewable or topical flea and tick treatments?
Bravecto is the only flea and tick treatment to last 12 weeks* with one convenient chew or topical dose. That means nearly 3X longer lasting protection than common monthly treatments. The long-lasting efficacy breaks the flea life cycle and drives fleas into extinction with one dose. And, Bravecto kills ticks faster, killing 100% of attached ticks in 12 hours – whereas other treatments can take over 48 hours.
Why should I treat my cat for fleas and ticks if it never goes outside?
Your cat doesn't need to go outside to be at risk for fleas and ticks. Cats can be exposed to fleas and ticks from dogs within the household. However, even cats without dog siblings can be at risk. You can carry fleas inside on your clothes and shoes – and the larvae and pupae can hide within your home for weeks before hopping on your cat. If you live in an apartment complex, fleas can move from one apartment to the next. And, certain ticks are now known to survive indoors throughout their lifecycles, so they can come in with you from outside, and hang around to attach to your pet.
How does Bravecto kill fleas and ticks
After you give your pet Bravecto, it quickly reaches tissue fluids just under your dog's or cat's skin. When fleas and ticks feed, they ingest Bravecto and die. Bravecto Topical Solution for Cats kills 100% of fleas within 8 hours. Apply Bravecto Topical Solution for Cats to the base of the skull for full-body protection for 12 weeks. Bravecto Topical Solution for Cats kills fleas, prevents flea infestations, and kills ticks (black-legged tick) for 12 weeks. Bravecto Topical Solution for Cats also kills American dog ticks for 8 weeks.
My dog is taking some medications for another condition as well right now. Is it safe to give him/her Bravecto?
There are no problems reported in field trials in dogs and cats that received Bravecto alongside other commonly used medicines. However, your veterinarian is your pet's health care expert, so it is always best to discuss all of your pet's treatments with them, whether prescription or over-the-counter supplements.
Will Bravecto kill ticks and fleas that are already on my dog or cat?
Yes.
Is there a Bravecto Chew for Cats?
Not at this time.
How do I apply the Bravecto Topical to my cat?
Apply the dose to one spot on the skin on the back of the neck (push back fur if necessary). This will provide full body protection for 12 weeks.
Is Bravecto recommended by veterinarians?
Yes. Bravecto Chew for Dogs is vet recommended for puppies and dogs 6 months of age or older who weigh at least 4.4. lbs and Bravecto Topical for Cats is vet recommended for kittens and cats 6 months of age or older who weigh at least 2.6 lbs.

Great for fleas!
By GMWii on Dec 4, 2021
We had the hardest time trying to get rid of the fleas from my daughter's cat. We had tried other topical solutions, but none of them worked. The Bravecto did the trick! No more fleas! Highly recommend it!

Once you use bravecto you won’t want to use any other flea and tick medication
By AmberC on Jun 17, 2021
The topical works just as well as the pill for both cats and dogs for up to 12 weeks. I’ve seen some people say it doesn’t last or it doesn’t work I have 8 cats and 2 dogs and it has never failed me. I will say that if you have a flea infestation depending on how bad it is you might have to give your pet a capstar then apply the topical. I’m a vet assistant and I wouldn’t use anything else. Just a tip on heart worms cause of all this rain in Texas try proheart 6 which last for 6 months or proheart 12 which last for a year saves time and money and less worrying about heart worms

Bravo Bravecto
By Maril on Aug 28, 2021
My vet introduced me to Bravecto and it was the best flea/tickless summer! To apply and forget about it for 3 months is especially nice.

Bravecto Flea Medicine
By spojaw on Jul 15, 2021
Given that my cat (feral) is difficult to administer any meds, it's great that Bravecto is good for 3 months. Worked great last summer !

Did not work for full 12 weeks
By sgbelverta on Apr 10, 2021
Worked great for 2 months. Then stopped working at all. It was like turning on a scratching/licking switch at 8 weeks. I've tried twice and got the exact same results. So if pricing is important to you, consider this a 2 month flea control.

Loss of fur.
By LittleBlack on Feb 4, 2021
Outdoor cat who does not like being held, has an allergy to fleas. Very easy to squirt this med onto the bare spot while he focuses on eating. He is usually healed quickly and the med needs no repeat for 3 months.

Problems solved
By Ingy on Sep 8, 2020
After reading scary Reviews I still decided to try it on my cats. It was amazing. The scratching, the ear mites everything ; GONE. Yes they were sleepy the first day but no abnormal side effects. I reapplied it about 4 months later not because they looked like they needed it but because I knew it was supposed to be done every 3 months. My cats about both 3 and indoor outdoor. I definitely recommend This product. It’s expensive but worth it.
